Set close to the shoreline, this larger suite includes a private balcony, fireside seating, a standalone bath, and broad west-facing views across the loch.
A three-bedroom hideaway positioned deeper within the estate, featuring a wood-heated hot tub, private sauna, full kitchen, and dedicated outdoor support for arranged excursions.
The surrounding 800-acre estate provides a base for walking, paddling, wildlife watching, and evening sky experiences, with local guides available for selected activities.
Join guided routes across nearby Munros and lower-level trails, with options suited to different experience and fitness levels.
Guests can access kayaking, canoeing, and designated swimming areas along the lodge's sheltered stretch of shoreline.

Meals at Highland Stay draw on ingredients from the surrounding region, with game, fish, seasonal produce, traditional favourites, and an extensive whisky selection served across three distinctive venues.

“Wood smoke, whisky, and the loch at sunrise — the Stag Lodge was the escape we didn't know we needed.”
“Our ghillie took us up a Munro then poured a dram at the top. Unforgettable.”
“The whisky snug alone is worth the journey. Warm, wild, and wonderfully Scottish.”
