Fancy living in a remote off-grid lodge while conveniently based only 10 miles from the highland city of Fort William?

Situated in woodland gardens beside the River Loy, Grianain lodge has beautiful views of the hill it is named for; Grianain, meaning 'sunny spot'. The lodge is at the end of the road in beautiful Glen Loy, close to the buzzing town of Fort William, outdoor capital of the UK with world class mountain biking, hiking, and skiing. It is a short drive to Ben Nevis or Glen Coe, just off the famous road to Mallaig and the ferry to Skye, an hour to Aviemore and less to Loch Ness.

It has a large king mezzanine bedroom with en-suite upstairs and a double bedroom, bathroom and twin bedroom downstairs. The living area is a large, double height, open plan, fully kitted kitchen and sitting room with a wood burner, cooking island, dining table and sofa area. Wi-Fi, digital tv, DVD player and stereo with a selection of games, books and DVDs are all provided.

French doors lead out onto the decking, with an outdoor seating area and view of the hills and river. You will have sole access to the pond, lawn and private river beach, picnic area and firepit, perfect for adult groups or families with children and dogs are always welcome. BBQ available on request.

There is good hiking straight from the door and OS maps provided for serious hill walkers. The river is lovely for a dip in the summer and there are many beautiful spots to investigate close by, whether you fancy a nature swim, mountain bike, picnic, hike, ski, climb or simple stroll.

There is an abundance of local wildlife, from Red and Roe Deer, Red Squirrels, Golden Eagles, Buzzards, Pine Martens and Wild Cats to Rare local Orchids and Butterflies.

The whole lodge is available for guests. We live 250m up the drive, barely visible through the trees. We like to leave guests to enjoy their private part of the property but we are close at hand should they need anything.

Please note: The glen road is single track but there are plenty of passing places. A 4x4 is recommended in winter weather and if you are driving up the glen after dark, please take it easy and keep an eye out for deer.About pets:Pets allowed: dogs (limit 3 total).About checkOut:Check out before 10:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 4:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 21.About events:Events allowed: family gatherings, birthday parties, weddings.Maximum event attendees: 14.
