Our Lodges
Find Your Perfect Highland Escape
We have 12 lodges, each designed in that Scandinavian-meets-Highland way. Quiet, comfortable and surrounded by trees.
Why Ancarraig
What Makes This Place Different
It's the combination of things: the location, the design, the wildlife, the quiet. People tend to come back.
On the Great Glen Way
The Great Glen Way passes directly through our 12 acres. You can step out your door and be on one of Scotland's most celebrated long-distance trails. Walk to Loch Ness for sunrise, explore ancient woodland, or trek to Fort William. You're three miles from Drumnadrochit and 17 from Inverness—close enough to civilization, far enough to truly escape it.
12 Acres of Private Woodland
Twelve acres of ancient woodland, entirely private. Hidden trails wind through Douglas fir and Scots pine. Red squirrels visit the feeders most mornings. Red deer appear at dusk. You can walk for hours without seeing another soul, without leaving the property. It's the kind of space that lets you properly disconnect.

“Our dogs loved it as much as we did. Tranquil woodland with plenty of room to walk, and they even got a welcome pack. The lodge itself is beautiful, Scandinavian style done properly.”
