Molalatau Lodge is an exceptional place to stay. Highly recommend and we will return. Snowed in for the week, luckily took all essential food requirements with us. What a great place to be snowed in at! A 4 wheel drive would have been good to have in these conditions and we didn’t manage to drive up to Lodge. The few locals we met were very friendly and a lovely couple helped transport the food and luggage to the house. I think the snow added to the stunning views and the adventure of it all. Definitely a 5* week!

What an amazing property! A beautiful building in a beautiful setting. Very spacious, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. The views are fantastic and when it snowed it was a true Winter wonderland. Heather, the housekeeper, was very friendly and helpful, even before we arrived. The only improvement I would suggest is installation of a tumble dryer.

Just got back from the most amazing week here at Molalatau Lodge with the family and wow this place is absolutely incredible. The best place we have ever stayed, the photos really don't do this place justice and its much more spacious than we thought. The location is so quiet and peaceful with an incredible view, we even seen red squirrels in the trees by the lodge. The house is well equipped with everything you might need for your stay plus extras. We really loved using the steam room downstairs and made use of the BBQ hut & Sauna area outside on the hill. The wrap around balcony is huge and great place to have your morning coffee. We managed to see lots whilst here and did lots of stops on the NC500 route nearby. Definitely recommend a trip to Achmelvich beach (1 hour drive) stuff to do on the way here too (The Bone Caves, Ardvreck Castle & Wailing Widow Falls). We also did a few things on the East coast - Dornoch is a lovely place with a great beach and we drove up to John O'Groats (2 hours). . We had a Tesco food shop delivered here during our stay which was great and we seen a few ASDA vans around as there are no large supermarkets close by but there are smaller shops around a 12 minute drive if you need any essentials. We will definitely back again to this amazing lodge!Thanks for an amazing stay
