Relax in a unique highland lodge retreat

"The ultimate Highland hideaway" - The Times

Shieldaig Lodge is a recently refurbished Victorian hunting lodge set in a 26,000 acre estate amongst stunning scenery of the West Highlands nestled next to Shieldaig Bay.

Recently refurbished, we have cosy snugs with real log fires, games room as well as perfectly manicured gardens and magnificent waterside views. Furthermore, The Liberator Bar is home to over 250 award winning whiskies and over 110 world class gins, including every Scottish gin!
