Accommodation
Kinloch Lodge is a historic Highland estate with just seven guest rooms, each looking onto loch, moor, or mountain. Inside, stone walls and log fires create a sense of quiet refuge. Snug lounges and a light-filled conservatory invite connection and calm, while the rooms carry the stillness of the landscape within them. Surrounded by gardens, woodlands, and river, the lodge offers both intimacy and expansiveness: a place to rest and to feel held by the wild beauty of Sutherland.
