Loch Assynt Lodge
Sleeps 14 / From £6,250 per week
Loch Assynt Lodge is a grand Victorian hunting lodge located in the stunning landscape of Loch Assynt in Sutherland.
Originally built in 1870, Lochassynt Lodge provides comfortable accommodation for up to 14 guests. The lodge is now available for ‘exclusive use’ sporting and holiday rentals throughout the season. There are many original features including the charcoal sketches from the early 1900’s, which have been drawn on the walls of the study/snug, depicting early fishing and stalking scenes on the estate. A good place to relax at the end of the day with a whisky in front of an open fire!
The lodge features a spacious drawing room and a large dining room with seating for up to 14 guests – both with superb over Loch Assynt and the hills beyond. Large drawing room, a study and a recently installed indoor sauna for guests to use.
There is a boat with outboard moored on Loch Assynt and numerous estate hill lochs to fish for wild brown trout. The estate also owns the Lagg rainbow trout fishery, 25 minutes drive to the north, which guests can access. Salmon fishing is now also available on a 2 rod beat of the River Inver, which the estate recently purchased.
Whether it’s trout fishing on the estate lochs, salmon fishing on the middle beat of the River Inver, stalking on two different estate beats with varying terrain, walking the majestic nearby munros or enjoying the deserted white beaches of the north west, Lochassynt Lodge has much to offer guests who want an action packed holiday.

Activities
Assynt is a stunning area of Scotland with wonderful walks and spectacular mountains to climb.
The Summer Isles
The Summer Isles is a group of about 20 islands, rocks and skerries within the Wester Ross Marine Protected Area that sit off the Coigach peninsula. You can walk to the closest, Isle Ristol, with its long white sandy beach, on the lower tides; the furthest, Eilean a Chleirich (Priest Island), lies some 6 miles from shore. The island is a RSPB reserve and is home to seals, otters and seabirds, including over 2000 breeding pairs of storm petrels. Many of the islands also offer fresh grazing for local crofters to winter their sheep.
The largest, Tanera Mor is some 800 acres (300 ha) and is the only one of the islands permanently inhabited. Tanera Mor was the centre of a thriving herring fishing industry in the 18th century, and many centuries before that its sheltered harbour was home to Vikings. It was the Vikings who named the island Tanera, a name later given the Gaelic addition of Mor (‘big’) to distinguish it from its neighbour Tanera Beag (‘small’ Tanera).
A trip to the Summer Isles is a popular excursion for visitors to Achiltibuie, and a local cruise boat takes passengers on a magnificent trip around them during the summer months. The islands are great too if you have an appropriate boat or kayak – within easy reach, incredible rock formations, caves and beaches. Alternatively you can enjoy them as part of the panoramic view from the hills above Polbain.
Walking
There is wonderful hill walking on the northwest including the iconic mountains of Stac Pollaidh, Suilven and Canisp.
Sporting
Lochassynt Lodge Estate is located on the north shores of Loch Assynt, one of Scotland’s famous freshwater trout lochs on the north west, and situated 5 miles north east of the coastal village of Lochinver. It lies in a spectacular setting between the mountains of Canisp, Quinag and Beinn Uidhe. The loch is six miles long and offers wild brown trout, sea trout and salmon fishing. The ruins of Ardvreck Castle occupies a promontory on the north shore, once held by the Macleods and Mackenzies.
Trout & Salmon Fishing
There is a new estate fishing boat (Coulam 16ft) with outboard motor on Loch Assynt, which will be taken out with a ghillie. There are numerous estate hill lochs to fish for wild brown trout and the estate also owns the Lagg Fishery (a rainbow trout fishery), 25 minutes drive to the north of the lodge, which guests will have access to.
Salmon fishing is now also available on a 2 rod beat of the River Inver, which the estate have recently purchased.
Stalking
Lochassynt Estate extends to around 2000 acres with a further 1000 acres situated 30 minutes to the north of the lodge. This ground now provides two different estate beats with varying terrain to suit all levels of fitness, from challenging to easier stalking ground.
