About this property

Gairloch 8.8 miles. Rising into the salty air of the bay, this beautiful wooden lodge brings with it a fresh contemporary twist, amazing views and access to a local beach.

Perfect for families with a taste for the more remote side of holidaying, Rionnag Lodge, situated in Aultgrishan, near Gairloch, is devoted to making the most of the dramatic scenery.

Arriving upon this beautiful property, you will notice that it combines a traditional holiday lodge with all of the opulence of a home, starting with the beautiful open-plan living area, sporting huge full-length windows to absorb natural light, creating an airy space within, you can recline on a stylish sofa, where relaxation is taken care of by a woodburning stove warming your feet, a TV and selection of books.

Enjoy cooking in the fully-furnished stylish kitchen, or have a hearty breakfast at the dining table before heading out to explore, and there is also a handy utility ready for your sandy clothing after spending a day at the beach.

If you wish to settle down for the night, there is a king-size bed on the ground-floor with pink walls, LED lighting and ample storage, as well as a beautifully furnished bathroom with a wooden basin and tub, hand-made and unique, where you can enjoy the warmth and bubbles after a long day.

Upstairs, a delightful twin room awaits, with skylights in the slanted ceiling to make the most of the natural light, as well as a wonderful world map wallpaper.

The final bedroom is probably the most impressive, with skylights in the floor and ceiling and a beautiful window at the end of the room immersing you in scenic views, and for starry evenings where you may get the chance to see the Northern Lights, then there is a telescope waiting for you to explore the night sky.

On the first-floor, there is a shower room with marble look tiles for a clean finish.

Outside, the enclosed garden offers you a place to admire both the lodge and the scenery, showing off the full-length windows and the mezzanine level that shelters a delightful hot tub, allowing you to relax in style even in the rain.

If you can tear yourself away from the beauty of the architecture and its surroundings, then you will find many wonderful shops within the town of Gairloch, including local craft and produce shops, coffee shops, a pub and a convenience store.

Boat trips are available for you to explore the rugged headland and see seals and otters in the bays. Opportunities for hiking are readily available with access to mountain walking and cycling trails, whilst if you wish for a slower paced activity, there is a fantastic golf course not far from the property. For those keen on heritage and history, head over to Gairloch Museum or explore Sand Archaeological Trail. The most stunning views and experiences await you with a stay at Rionnag Lodge.

    Immaculately clean & fresh on arrival, where everything you could possibly need, (and more,) is provided. We recieved an extremely generous welcome hamper, (which was very much appreciated & enjoyed throughout our stay). This place really is 'top notch', & then some! We watched the Northern Lights dance and enjoyed several melting sunsets over the Minch & islands from the balcony! The warming wood burning stove, lifts the spirits on dismal, drizzly days and the outdoor facilities, (hot tub & waterfall shower,) are a welcome treat after a rigorous walk, or long day out sightseeing! Sadly, we didn't have time to try the fresh seafood, (courtesy of host Terry, who is also the local fish guy,) but we did sample the tremendous steak from local butcher - Ken Morrison, (Gairloch); so good, we went back for more the very next day! Gairloch is a wonderful community, well served by the farm shop, butchers, Gale community centre, book shop, (and much more); all of which - we thoroughly recommend. So, to the property itself - a shining star, (Rionnag means star,) in the Wester Ross firmament! Staying in this house is like recieving a week long hug! Giant, wooden bath you can float in! Waterfall shower. Under floor heating. Flumptious towels. Cosy dressing gowns. Tremendously comfy bed in the feature bedroom, (can't comment on other beds, as we only used the one bedroom.) Spacious & luxurious accommodation. Every mod con, (including coffee maker & hand blender, for soup making)! Stunning location. Peace & quiet. Fabulous service all round; 100% recommend . . . only sorry we had to leave a day early due to work commitments . . . we will be back!
