These 7 individual, Scandinavian style lodges are spacious, comfortable and warm with one double and one twin bedroom.

Patio doors from the large lounge/dining room lead to a private balcony from which you can enjoy the panoramic views and spectacular sunsets over Loch Ewe, the Isle of Ewe and beyond to the Hebrides.

Aultbea Lodges are double glazed and have a television, DVD player and washing machine. There is also a communal tumble drier on site. The kitchen has a microwave, fridge/freezer and a full sized oven/hob. The bathroom has an over-bath shower.

Aultbea is a fishing village on the shores of Loch Ewe surrounded by someof the most beautiful and rugged loch and mountain scenery in the majestic north-west highlands.

The warm Gulf Stream climate allows sub-tropical gardens at Inverewe to flourish (National Trust for Scotland), abundant wildlife to thrive, and while seals and otters play in the open sea, eagles may be soaring above small crofting communities.

It is an ideal base for holiday activities including car touring, walking, deserted sandy beaches at Gruinard Bay, climbing, sea and loch fishing, bird-watching, photography, golf at Gairloch (12 miles) and Torridon National Mountain Reserve (25 miles).

There are boat trips to the Summer Isles north of Ullapool, you could visit the very interesting Achiltibuie Hydroponicum, enjoy porpoise & whale cruises and water sports.

You can drive up to Durness and visit Cape Wrath on the north-west tip of Britain.

However, for some of our guests, the peace and tranquility is the main attraction while you unwind and enjoy a real highland holiday.
