House Rental

Cape Wrath Lodge, situated in the very far north-west of Scotland, was formerly a well-known fishing hotel because of the nearby limestone lochs. In recent years, it has been completely refurbished to a high standard and is now a luxury retreat. The south-facing lodge has spectacular views of the Foinaven range across the Kyle of Durness with this vista changing throughout the day along with the tides and weather. Up to two dogs welcome! The Lodge is ideal for families and groups with an interest in outside activities such as golf, walking, bird watching, fishing, surfing, kayaking, painting and music The Lodge is large enough to accommodate inside activities comfortably, and without feeling cramped, when weather demands. The Inside facilities include a childrens’ playroom, a cinema room...Cape Wrath Lodge, situated in the very far north-west of Scotland, was formerly a well-known fishing hotel because of the nearby limestone lochs.

The Inside facilities include a childrens’ playroom, a cinema room, a sauna, a delightful massage room and a large games room with a full-size snooker table. Our housekeeper lives in a separate flat attached to the lodge. She has access to and works on behalf of the house during rentals. Housekeeping time can be organised to a level required by individual parties. Two dogs allowed in property downstairs but kennels are provided for two/three dogs adjacent to the Lodge if no one in property. Ground floor The large entrance hall is wood panelled. The panelling continues into a long sitting room on the left with a selection of comfortable armchairs and flanked by picture windows which allow the magnificent scenery across the Kyle to be part of this area. The room contains an electric organ for those who want to liven up the party! A variety of sporting pictures and animal heads adorn the walls of both rooms. This room opens into the dining area. The dining area has a long table which can seat up to twenty. Again, the views from large windows over the Kyle to Foinaven are ‘to die for’. A Bang and Olufsen sound system is operated from this room. This area opens back into the former bar area and creates another sitting area with comfortable armchairs and a closed wood burner fire. With the bar this makes for a wonderful room to relax and have a drink. The bar also holds ample crockery and cutlery, a sink with a continuous hot water tap, an undercounter fridge and dishwasher and a coffee machine: all this is close to the dining room, so movement between relaxing, eating and clearing is easy.
