The Lodge and Gardens are located a mile from the sea in delightful countryside, overlooking the conservation villages of Duirinish and Drumbuie. 'Duirinish' is an ancient Norse name meaning 'headland of the deer'. The location is 2 miles from Plockton, an exceptionally picturesque fishing village. There are spectacular views over the sea to Skye, the Isle of Raasay, Applecross and Torridon.

The Lodge is a private house built in 1936, which has been completely renovated and refurbished to a high standard over the past few years. The 6.0 hectares (18 acres) of private woodland and gardens are being restored to reveal the 40 varieties of rhododendron and 60 of azalea at their best. The woodland gardens are available for your enjoyment.
