Exclusive use lodge for up to 19 guests. Though the date of construction is not known, Grogarry Lodge was originally built by the Laird of the Long Island Estate and its age is indicated by the fact that it was ‘modernised’ over one hundred and twenty years ago.
Today, the Lodge is offered on an exclusive use basis, which is a fully serviced experience difficult to find in the modern world. The dedicated staff provide all meals, with much of the produce coming from the islands, and the picnic lunches come in hampers that may take two people to carry.
With ten bedrooms, offering accommodation in twin, double room or single rooms all named after our Estate’s famous fly-fishing lochs for up to nineteen guests, the lodge is perfect for family groups and friends.
A rare home away from home, the lodge offers a unique country home experience. The well-stocked wine cellar provides the ideal complement to traditional Scottish cooking, served in the grand dining room, which restores strength at the end of a strenuous day outdoors.
Downstairs bedrooms and bathrooms and wide doorways also make the lodge accessible for those with mobility problems.
