Spacious, pet friendly 4-bedroom Highland cottage with access to 12,000 acre estate

Located near Wester Ross on the western edge of the Scottish Highlands is Stag Lodge. This spacious, pet friendly cottage comfortably accommodates up to eight in four bedroom and is within easy reach of Plockton and Applecross, and the glorious beaches on the West Coast of Scotland.

It is the cottage's location within the 4,000 acre Glencarron Estate that makes it really special. There are four peaks over 3,000 ft accessed from the Estate and four more within an easy drive, so it's an ideal spot for "Munro Baggers". There are wonderful walks from the cottage, and salmon and trout fishing and clay-pigeon shooting can all be organised from the cottage owners.

Stag Lodge is a classic Victorian estate workers cottage that has been recently refurbished to create a spacious, elegant holiday home for friends or families. The cottage is comfortably furnished and equipped to a high standard.

On the ground floor of the cottage there is a large lounge with open fire and doors opening directly onto the patio, which has wonderful views of the Highlands. Off the lounge is the well-equipped kitchen, which is fitted with a wide range of appliances, including a fridge/freezer, an electric twin oven with hob and a dishwasher. There is also a handy utility room where you will find the washing machine and tumble dryer. The final room downstairs is a spacious double bedroom with views of the glen and plenty of storage, this bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite shower room.

The final three bedrooms are all located on the first floor of the cottage and are set up as twins with full size single beds. They share the first floor family bathroom, which is fitted with a bath with overhead shower, a wash basin and a WC.

Outside, Stag Lodge has a good sized garden, which is home to lot of local birds and wildlife. The views from here are beautiful both during the day and at night when you can admire the stars.

Apart from the amazing scenery right outside the cottage, there are also plenty of places to visit with the Isle of Skye, Plockton and the rest of the Highlands to explore. The area is also ideal for a number of activities, including walking, cycling and water sports.

Please note that Stag Lodge is a semi-detached cottage set above the road, it lies beside the estate stalker's cottage and has an enclosed garden, so dogs and children cannot escape!

Stag Lodge is a dog friendly cottage. There is an additional charge of £20 per dog per booking. Please notify us at time of booking. Payment must be made prior to arrival.
  • The cottage offers a kitchen, a washing machine and 2 bathrooms

Bad start good end
Property was not cleaned when we arrived, filthy oven and mouse droppings in beds. Property owner arranged full clean gave us a 4x4experience and 30% refund. Happy with their response, staff fantastic but won’t be visiting again.

Stag Lodge
Good size property for our group. Large bedrooms, good living space. One downside was only 1 shower in the downstairs bathroom. The shower over the bath was not much use. Other reviews are correct about distance from shops etc but you are well alerted to this in the information provided. All in all a comfortable stay with a caretaker a phone call away to resolve any issues

Gorgeous property, remote location, friendly estate manager
Six of us stayed three nights at Stag Lodge and we really enjoyed it. There are two full baths, a full kitchen, wireless internet, TV with cable/satellite and movies, books, central heat that works really well, and a washer and dryer. The location is rather remote and, from the west, includes several single-track roads, but the drive is beautiful and we saw wildlife daily, like deer and martens. The midges were horrible and a week later I'm still itching, so I definitely recommend bug spray and keeping doors and windows shut! Tesco will deliver groceries, which is convenient. The closest petrol and groceries were in Kyle of Lochalsh, about 45 minutes away, so plan ahead for gas and shopping. It was a great base of operations to see everything from Eilean Donan to the Isle of Skye.
