There are a variety of things to do on the Estate : walk the surrounding hills, fish for trout and salmon in nearby lochs and rivers, get close to wildlife, enjoy the view with a cup of tea (or a glass of wine) from your accommodation or head down the Glen to visit the picturesque village of Ullapool and taste some local seafood !

We hope to see you soon,
Iona, Julien and Leon

The most beautiful glen with miles of walks and 2 lochs to visit.access to rowing boats and fishing too. Make sure you have a car that deals with unmade up roads for the approach road though. We did manage but a 4x4 would have been easier.

A wonderful 19thC hunting lodge far enough from Ullapool to feel totally remote and offer excellent walking and country sports - near enough to enjoy the facilities of the town. The road is a 7mile rough track - so go careful! Iona and Julien are fantastic hosts who help with ideas of what to do, and any little problems. Scenery is stunning. But pack the midge spray!

An incredible and immersive experience in a very remote and beautiful valley. Iona and Julian were fantastic hosts, not only helping us with our myriad requests but also giving us a glimpse into the life of farming and hunting in one of the last true remaining wild places in the UK. Every day started with lighting the fires, chopping wood and greeting the eight puppies we were lucky enough to coincide our stay with. Golden eagles were nesting in the valley and we could watch them from the farm. Smoky falls was truly smoking after heavy rain and we watched the river rise and fall. We kayaked with the host's friends at Ridgeway Adventures with eagles, seals and otters for company. We walked and scrambled up the nearby Munroes. We cooked kilos of freshly caught (and live!) seafood caught by Ione's cousin and venison hunted by Julian. And finished most days in the sauna. An amazing experience.

I think Iona & Julien’s place is the best place I’ve ever been! We all had such a brilliant time - thank you so much to the both of you for looking after us so well. I can’t recommend the lodge enough. The surroundings are out of this world beautiful. The isolation forces you to properly switch off from the stresses of your life. On rainy days the excellent games room provides the perfect space to hang out in. The kitchen is fully equipped and the house is nice and spacious if you want your own space for a bit. You can wander off from the lodge to waterfalls, mountains, for a swim, for excellent bird watching. You could happily stay in the glen all week and not get bored. Expect to see Golden eagles, black throated divers, cuckoos, lambs, puppies, Highland ponies & much more. Also the perfect base for exploring the NW Highlands. Definitely recommend for families, friends, kids, everyone. 10/10 - thanks Iona & Julien! X

Iona and Julien will ensure you have the perfect stay at this remote, idyllic piece of Scotland. The house is huge and comfortable and the grounds are beautiful with plenty of room for kids to run free and have adventures! We spotted hundreds of deer and even an Eagle while strolling through this very special glen. We were lucky enough to have magnificent weather allowing us to swim in the pools below the Smokey Falls then eat amazing home-butchered venison while the sun set. Our party ranged from a 4year old to a 78year old and there was something for us all!

The property is huge with lots of places to explore. We thoroughly enjoyed fishing in the river next to the house.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Lodge. Even though we never met Iona and Julien (they were gone for a family trip), they made sure to provide us with clear instructions on how to get to the lodge as well as having someone else (Lucie) expect us. The lodge is a charming old but well maintained house. In the traditional kitchen you will find a wood oven that heats the house through several heaters (as long as you keep the fire going). The wood is all chopped and prepared and it is just one step outside to get it. Of course, you could also chop the wood yourself, if you felt like it. There is also a wonderful garden which is carefully looked after. We loved being able to go outside and get onions or a salad fresh from the garden. The lodge is very spacious and maintained in its traditional style in the middle of a magnificent landscape populated by sheep and cows. Accordingly, be prepared for a stay close to nature, including an occasional spider, some dust and some dirt. There are no keys to any doors whatsoever either. We loved our stay at this peaceful place with its beautiful surroundings.
