This grand Highland lodge is steeped in history and surrounded by breathtaking views of the Inverness-shire countryside. Inside, you’ll find elegant reception rooms, a traditional kitchen with an electric Aga, and beautifully restored period details. Built in 1870 by Lord Arbinger as a fishing lodge for Inverlochy Castle, it’s the perfect base for salmon fishing, scenic walks, or simply curling up by the fire. Outside, five acres of private grounds invite lazy afternoons, riverside strolls, and stargazing beneath wide Scottish skies. Granted, you’ll need a car to get the best from your stay. But with total freedom to explore a dramatic, film-worthy landscape of glens, lochs and ancient castles, it's more than worth it.

• Your host can help arrange private chefs, mixologists, murder mystery evenings, and spa treatments for an additional fee.
