Alladale Wilderness Reserve is a 23,000-acre gem in the Scottish Highlands, about 1.5 hours north of Inverness. The reserve is famous for its owner’s dream of ‘rewilding’: restoring this beautiful part of Scotland back to its original state, with lush forest and original highland plant and animal species, such as the Scottish pine, red squirrel and Scottish wild cat.

Alladale is a nature lover’s dream. The rugged terrain, dramatic glens, colourful hills, glistening rivers and herds of majestic red deer will take your breath away.

The luxury Alladale lodge, built in 1877, is a site to behold. It sits proudly on a hill, overlooking some of Scotland’s last ancient Caledonian Scots pine forest. This beautiful Victorian manor, refurbished by Laura Ashley, is comfortable and spacious, sleeping up to 14 guests in 7 rooms. Its traditional design includes original fireplaces and tall sash windows, which makes it feel like a true Scottish home away from home. The property boasts a set of lovely extras, such as an in-house sauna, gym and snooker room.

Additional accommodation is available at modern cottages Eagles Crag (sleeps 8) and Ghillie’s Rest (sleeps 4). These beautifully presented properties are situated in Glen Alladale and come with fantastic views.

Onsite activities include wildlife watching, world class brown trout fishing, guided hikes, 4×4 tours, pigeon clay shooting, foraging, mountain biking, wild swimming, massage & beauty treatments and whisky tastings.

Minimum stay is 3 nights. 2024 Rate is from £10,000, for 3 nights, based on 6 guests. Supplementary charge for additional guests.
