About this property

Complimentary Welcome Hamper

A complimentary welcome hamper will be awaiting you on your arrival containing milk, tea, fresh coffee, bread, butter, eggs, juice, wine and cheese, along with other essential items to prepare a light snack or breakfast. There may be some regional variations.

Achnandarach Lodge is situated five miles from the Kyle of Lochalsh, with a bridge to the Isle of Skye, shops, restaurants, and a local railway station.

A Swiss chalet-style house, which has been completely refurbished throughout, surrounded by pine forest, the house has stunning views over Skye and lovely walks from the front door. Fencing prevents the deer entering the attractive one acre garden and a few hundred yards walk through the forest behind the house brings you to Loch Achnahinich.

The house itself is on three floors with an overriding sensation of space. The literal centrepiece is the middle floor which has an open plan area with large picture windows and a balcony. Leading off this is a spacious kitchen with traditional pine table for breakfast or informal meals.

      Achnandarach Lodge was perfect for our family gathering in the highlands. It was a beautiful house with great views across to the sea. We had a lovely hamper left for us which is a really nice gesture and the contents were really nice and local produce. There is a lot of things to see and do in and around Skye and Kyle however we were happy to spend time in the holiday home.The condition and size of the house was perfect for the size of our group. We would definitely recommend rural retreats to others as the booking of the holiday and the process of getting to the house and obtaining the keys was straightforward. Look forward to another holiday soon. Regards Karen Robertson and family.

      Fantastic property.... sensational views! Plenty of space and the small attention to detail added to the ambiance. We created some wonderful memories that we will cherish. We travelled from Australia to visit family in Scotland and would definitely look to stay there again. Big shout out to Sandra who check in on us to make sure everything was perfect, alobg with ensuring a high standard of cleaniness and the creation of beautiful welcome hamper.
