Lodge at Cape Wrath | 178

Reception Rooms
On entering the entrance hall you are greeted by an array of taxidermy within a lovely wooden panelled room, which sets the tone for the rest of the lodge. Turning left takes you into a long wooden panelled room flanked by picture windows allowing the magnificent scenery to be part of this sitting room, with a selection of sofas, comfortable chairs around various coffee tables.

The dining area is next, which then leads to the former bar area, where the original bar is still in place with wood-burning stove and comfortable chairs. This is a wonderful room to relax and have a drink in impressive comfort and style.

Snug, Games & Treatment Rooms
The “cinema room” has a large flat screen TV with big sofas to watch it from. A smaller TV room is suitable for children with board games and books available. Then to the rear of the building is a large games room, with one section housing a full size billiard table and the other section with comfortable seating. Both sections have large picture windows to the front.  Finally there is a sauna (capacity 6/8 people) and a treatment room available.

Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen is located at the rear of the building and is a converted commercial kitchen that is now adapted to normal residential usage. In fact it has been designed with sleek lines and in a trendy way continuing to use the relatively small space to be a lovely kitchen to be in with a few friends. With many gas hobs and integral double ovens, the cooking capacity of this room could be double the advertised occupancy. Bar stools at the work-island allow others to join the cook and chat. Further larder space is next door and commercial freezers.

The dining room is located at the front of the lodge and has one of the best views from any dining room in Scotland. Huge picture windows to the front overlook the sea loch and mountains beyond and regardless of the weather will always be an atmospheric view. The dining table can seat up to 20 people and with the antler chandeliers and antler theme throughout you will always know you are in the Highlands of Scotland.

A small walled garden is to the side and a kennel is to the rear, where the house-keeper resides. It is located 2 miles from the village of Durness beside the Kyle of Durness overlooking the sea.  Adequate supplies are available in Durness, but it is advised to do a major shop on the way, with all the major supermarkets available in Inverness. Fishing can be arranged locally, for sea fishing, salmon fishing and hill loch fishing for trout. The nearest golf course is at Durness and is a 9-hole golf course. This is an excellent area for walking, climbing and mountain bike activity. Ben Hope is nearby. The sea and the views are on your doorstep and are the main attraction.
