About this property

The Challenger Estate - Lodge

Nestled in an idyllic location with views to the surrounding Lochs and mountains, Challenger Lodge is a wonderful break for a family of nine and their canine companion.





Easily accessible from the village of Lairg, the property comes with plenty of outdoor space with furniture, and off-road parking.



Head inside and discover the kitchen/diner, appointed with all the mod cons needed for a week away, whilst the dining area is ideal for hosting mealtimes.



After a day of walking, look forward to curling up on the sofa and catching up on your favourite shows from the wall-mounted Smart TV, whilst the woodburning stove crackles in the background.



Challenge each other to a game of billiards or take the evening outside as you sit at the furniture and enjoy a warm night.



The first bedroom lies downstairs and offers a king-size bed serviced by a shower room, ideal for those guests with limited mobility.



Head upstairs to find a family room with three single beds and two further king-size bedrooms, each neutrally presented and a good amount of storage.



Challenger Lodge invites families for a remarkable escape to the Highlands.



Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1128585, together sleeping 13 guests

Review from the children :"It was amazing! Best stay ever! We love the hot tub! 5 out of 5 stars!"The accommodation was definitely one of the best. The Lodge was in a beautiful location. The house itself was great, with fabulous views, and had everything we needed. Communication with the host was excellent. And when we had a slight issue with the shower temperature we received an immediate response and the housekeeper came to check straight away. Highly recommended.
