Just thirty minutes from the gateway to the Highlands, Inverness, this grand 18th-century home sits secluded by a tall forest. Perfectly placed to explore the spectacular scenery in this corner of Scotland, you'll be treated to true luxury when you return from your wild excursions. The highlight for us is the wood-panelled sitting room, where you can cosy up by the fire with a bottle of red wine. This room, like the rest in the home, has been traditionally decorated with antique furniture and a rich colour palette that complements the original features. In the extravagant dining room, have your host arrange a private chef to prepare a three-course meal using quality local ingredients. Surrounding the house, you'll find sprawling farmland and sparkling lochs in every direction. River Alness runs nearby, a popular destination for fly fishing with a selection of local instructors on hand to show you the ropes. Keen golfers will be glad to learn that several of Scotland's best courses are within forty-mile radius. Pick a sunny afternoon and enjoy the idyllic settings these clubs offer.

Host


This home is managed by Oliver

This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.

This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
