Letterewe was originally built as a shooting lodge, and is only accessible by the private estate boat which takes you across Loch Maree to the lodge. Letterewe is in a spectacular setting, and offers very comfortable and spacious accommodation, which is ideal for entertaining a large gathering of friends and family. The lodge offers accommodation for up to 19 guests.
The family kitchen, atmospheric dining room which has a large open fire, and the cosy sitting room and study are ideal for relaxing whilst the games area provides entertainment. Letterewe is a self-catering house and provides accommodation for a maximum 19 guests.
The estate was owned by the late Paul van Vlissingen and is known as “The Last Great Wilderness” of Scotland. The van Vlissingen family considers itself to be the guardian of that land and manages it accordingly. The Letterewe Estate is renowned as one of the few remaining undisturbed habitats for some of Europe’s rarest species of birds and animals. It stretches over some 17,500 hectares of majestic mountains and beautiful lochs, and is uninterrupted by any surfaced roads or modern developments. It is home to the golden eagle, the pine marten, otters, northern divers, and around 2,000 red deer and numerous wild goats.
During your rental you will be able to study the geology of some of the most ancient cliffs in Britain (disputably between 650 and 625 million years old!). You can walk through the most northerly natural oak forest in the world, and experience something similar to the ancient Caledonian forest in the undisturbed vegetation of the inland loch islands.
Letterewe is accessible only by estate boat. There is no road access. Very occasionally the loch may be too rough to make the crossing safely. The decision on whether the crossing will be taken is always and solely at the discretion of the estate. If bad weather results in any guest being unable to make the crossing on the planned day then neither the estate nor ourselves as agents will be responsible for any additional costs arising from the delay. We recommend that guests always have travel insurance.
