Sitting in the Great Glen, this holiday house is a walker or mountain biker’s haven, with direct access onto the legendary Corrieyairack Pass which rises to a height of 2,500 feet.

This is an impressive Victorian shooting lodge, with mountain backdrop, within a 35,000 acre sporting estate. This traditionally decorated holiday house is the perfect location for outdoor enthusiasts, from fisher to hiker, who wish to explore the hills and glens of Scotland.

Once you reach the Laggan village stores, then it is a further 5 miles up the tarred glen road, which leads to the lodge, which is surrounded by deer fencing to keep the deer out of the grounds around the house. On entering, there is a large reception hall with impressive feature pitch pine staircase. The elegant drawing room with open fire is a large traditionally decorated room with large bay windows to enjoy the views to the front. The dining room is equally large and ideal for entertaining all 15 of your guests at the dining table in front of a warming open fire. Meals are prepared in the spacious working kitchen, whilst additional entertainment can be found in the gun room, which houses a table tennis table. The accommodation is on the two floors above and there are two double rooms, four twin rooms, three single room, three bathrooms and two shower rooms. With plenty of parking available, the grounds are fenced-off and consist of lawns and mixed woodlands. Next door is the occupied gamekeeper’s cottage, which has access to the shared drive.

Use of car hire is essential, to discover the true beauty of the surrounding areas.

For those flying into Scotland, the closest airport to this property is Dundee approximately 90 miles away and Inverness 64 miles away and hiring a car or 4WD couldn’t be more convenient if you are choosing to travel by air. There are a variety of well known car rental companies within walking distance of the arrivals terminal at Inverness, and similar arrangements can be made in advance for your arrival at Dundee.

If you are driving into Scotland from the south, the major arterial motorway into Scotland, the M74, although busy is generally free flowing.

All the major railway stations have car hire companies located in situ, enabling the transition from carriage to car to be as stress free as possible. The sleeper train can be caught from London to Inverness, but takes approximately twelve hours and car hire can be easily arranged for your arrival, requiring approximately an hours’ drive for the remainder of your journey. The closest train station to the property is Newtonmore just a few miles away.
