The Gatehouse, Strathkyle

When my wife and I needed to undertake renovation on the Gatehouse we decided to restore it for the use of guests who would enjoy the grounds, activities and surrounding area for the same reasons we do ourselves. The intention was to ensure that the special and unique charm of the Highlands remained as apparent inside the house as outside the door. Now we have a beautiful place to stay on the Kyle of Sutherland in the heart of the Scottish Highlands.

This is a very peaceful spot where anyone with a love of nature can relax and enjoy the beauty.

We are in the heart of the Highlands in the grounds of a Victorian hunting lodge yet only just over an hour from Inverness and its airport.

The Gatehouse has exclusive access to the 200 acres of wooded grounds surrounding the Victorian hunting lodge.

Ideal for walkers, bikers, shooting, fishing, wildlife tourists and romantic getaways. It comprises of some of the finest and most typical highland scenery with views at ground level of something in excess of thirty miles.

The Gatehouse is in a secluded position amongst the trees with views up to the mountains above.

Visitors to the Gatehouse have access to a further 4,000 acres which covers a four mile stretch on the Kyle of Sutherland. There is a mixture of forestry, significant stretches of water meadow, rough pasture and moorland.

The traditional stone-built Gatehouse offers two delightful sitting rooms, one of which has a beautiful open fire. There is also a dining room and fully fitted kitchen; together with drying room, utility room, shower and a separate toilet on the ground floor. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms and a bathroom.

Amenities include television and a dvd player (with wide selection of DVDs), fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine/tumble dryer and Total Control electric central heating.

Whether the winter wonderland of snow, the fresh greens of spring, the long Highland days of summer when the sun never sets, or the autumn gold as the broadleaves, larches ferns and heather prepare again for winter, your stay will be the very essence of experiencing the Highlands.
