Located in the picturesque Inverness-shire region of Scotland, this stunning holiday lodge offers a unique blend of history and modern comfort. Accommodating up to 16 guests across seven spacious bedrooms, the property, affectionately known as a 'Fishing Lodge,' was originally built in 1870 for the landed gentry who sought to fish the River Lochy. Its rich history includes notable guests, such as Edward and Mrs. Simpson, who found solace here in 1935. The lodge has undergone significant renovations to enhance its appeal while preserving its historical charm, making it an ideal retreat for families or groups of friends looking to unwind amidst breathtaking views of Ben Nevis.
The lodge is set within five acres of private land in Torlundy, Fort William, surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of the Scottish Highlands. Guests can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, including walking along the riverbank, where they may spot fishermen casting for salmon and trout. The River Lochy, though fast-flowing and unsuitable for swimming, offers lovely scenic walks, and the nearby canal features attractions like 'Neptune's Staircase,' a popular spot for visitors interested in marine history. The lodge's location allows easy access to Fort William, just six miles away, where guests can find supermarkets and other essential amenities.
Inverness-shire boasts a wealth of local activities for outdoor enthusiasts. From hiking the majestic Ben Nevis to participating in the Highland Games, which include traditional dancing and piping competitions, there is something for everyone. Fishing enthusiasts can take advantage of the salmon fishing season from April to October, while those interested in trout fishing can explore nearby ponds. Additionally, the region offers opportunities for riding, skiing, and mountain biking, catering to a range of interests and skill levels.
For those looking to indulge in local culture, the Ben Nevis Distillery, established in 1825, offers a glimpse into Scotland's rich distilling heritage. Visitors can also explore the historic Ben Nevis Observatory, which provided crucial meteorological data in the late 19th century. With its combination of luxurious accommodations, stunning landscapes, and a variety of recreational activities, this lodge serves as a perfect base for exploring the Outdoor Capital of Scotland, ensuring a memorable holiday experience for all who visit.
