About this house rental

Nestled in an idyllic location with views to the surrounding Lochs and mountains, Challenger Lodge is a wonderful break for a family of nine and their canine companion.





Easily accessible from the village of Lairg, the property comes with plenty of outdoor space with furniture, and off-road parking.



Head inside and discover the kitchen/diner, appointed with all the mod cons needed for a week away, whilst the dining area is ideal for hosting mealtimes.



After a day of walking, look forward to curling up on the sofa and catching up on your favourite shows from the wall-mounted Smart TV, whilst the woodburning stove crackles in the background.



Challenge each other to a game of billiards or take the evening outside as you sit at the furniture and enjoy a warm night.



The first bedroom lies downstairs and offers a king-size bed serviced by a shower room, ideal for those guests with limited mobility.



Head upstairs to find a family room with three single beds and two further king-size bedrooms, each neutrally presented and a good amount of storage.



Challenger Lodge invites families for a remarkable escape to the Highlands.



Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1128585, together sleeping 13 guests

We had a wonderful stay on the Challenger estate. We were very lucky with our weather and managed a wild swim in the loch, visits to Dornoch beach, The Falls of Shin (where we saw salmon leaping), Smoo Cave on the north coast and hired a boat from the Lairg Angling Club to be able to fish (with our own gear) on the loch. We stopped by Channonry Point near Inverness on our way home (an hour after low tide) and saw dolphin feeding right in front of us. The house was very comfortable. Well stocked kitchen, huge TV in the livingroom. Shanta was excellent with communication and the welcome pack (for us and the dog) were fab. There is a dog bed in the kitchen and dog bowls provided.

Review from the children :"It was amazing! Best stay ever! We love the hot tub! 5 out of 5 stars!"The accommodation was definitely one of the best. The Lodge was in a beautiful location. The house itself was great, with fabulous views, and had everything we needed. Communication with the host was excellent. And when we had a slight issue with the shower temperature we received an immediate response and the housekeeper came to check straight away. Highly recommended.
