Lochs, glens, mountains, and forests lie literally on the doorstep, where you may spot red deer, red squirrels, owls, otters, porpoises, buzzards, pine martens, and even eagles. For those seeking adventure, we offer a wide range of activities—from kayaking and cycling to clay pigeon shooting and deer stalking.

A private beach on the shores of the loch offers a quiet place to relax, swim, launch kayaks, or simply take in the atmosphere of this secluded Highland setting.
