Lodge Accommodation

The Lodge was built in 1886 as one of the Duke of Sutherland's sporting lodges, although for the past 30 years it has been in the ownership of the same family. Recently refurbished, the Lodge retains its original character whilst offering the highest levels of comfort. There is plenty of hot water, deep Victorian baths, bedrooms have new beds including two impressive four posters, one with ensuite bathroom. Tenants often comment on the quality of the enormous thick bath towels and bed linen. There are two large sitting rooms, the dining room seats up to 16 and there is a billiard room. The Lodge's various levels and wings provide a series of complex spaces and its 10 double/twin bedrooms and one single ensure that large numbers are absorbed effortlessly, whilst smaller groups suffer no lack of intimacy. With five bathrooms and three further loos, laundry room, drying room and a big kitchen, guests feel instantly at home. The Lodge is limited to a maximum of 14.

Lairg Lodge is fully staffed. It enjoys a justifiably good reputation for its standard of cooking and has a resident housekeeper and two further staff to ensure high levels of domestic service. A ghillie is also included for all sporting requirements.

The Lodge is a two minute drive from Lairg village centre and approximately an hour's drive from the city of Inverness with its main line rail terminal and nearby international airport (20 minutes from the city centre).

Fishing

The River Shin is a short and exciting river running from Loch Shin into the Kyle of Sutherland which it shares with the Oykel, Cassley and Carron. Having a dam at the top of the river ensures plenty of water year round in order for the fish to run.

The upper river enjoying consistent sport once the fish pass the Shin Falls in early June. With three miles of double bank fishing and twenty named pools, the upper river is divided into two beats, each fishing four rods.

In addition to the lodge, the estate has two cottages which are ideal for smaller family parties. Both are available on a self catered basis and very convenient to the river.
