Check Availability
Live availability for the Lodge. Use this to check your dates before requesting a quote.
Estate closed 1 December to 15 January. The road into the glen is single track and unploughed, and heavy snow regularly cuts us off, so we do not take bookings across those dates.
Choose your dates, add the adventures that appeal and we will come back to you with a personal quote. Check live availability as you go. Every stay is confirmed individually, and all activities are subject to availability.
What Kind of Stay?
Tell us what you have in mind and we will ask only about the things that matter to it. Choose one to continue.
Your Dates
Please note: the Estate closes from 1 December to 15 January. The road into the glen is single track and unploughed, and heavy snow regularly cuts us off entirely, so we do not take bookings across those dates. Your chosen dates fall wholly or partly within that period. Please pick dates either side, or talk to us about what is possible.
Shared Stays Run on Set Dates
Our shared stays are sold as places on fixed dates rather than as a booking of the whole Lodge, so they are priced per guest and not built up here. Each one has its own dates and its own price:
- Shared Summer Stays, three or four nights between May and September, with the activity programme and every meal included
- Shared Stalking Trips, six nights in September for the stags or in November for the hinds
Tell us your dates and party size below and we will come back with the places we have left. If you would rather take the whole Estate, choose A Highland Stay instead.

Deer Stalking
Choose your dates to see which stalking seasons are open during your stay.
Both courses are hands-on and run only during the stalking season, when there is a beast on the larder hook. The Butchery Masterclass follows on from the carcass preparation course.
Confirming numbers: once your booking is confirmed, the number of stags and the number of hind days are finalised 30 days before arrival. Inside those 30 days they cannot be reduced, and everything confirmed is charged in full whether or not it is taken. Increases inside 30 days are subject to availability. This is clause 8 of our stalking terms.
Your Wedding
Exclusive use, full catering, a private chef, canapés, fizz on arrival and planning support are included in every wedding stay. Tell us what you know so far. Nothing here is binding, and "unsure" is a perfectly good answer this early on.
Count your wedding party in the guest number above, and any suppliers here. We sleep 21 people in total across the Lodge and the Bothy, and suppliers count towards that, so a bed for the photographer is a bed one of your guests cannot have. Most couples have them leave the morning after the wedding rather than stay the whole booking.
The Ceremony
What Else Would You Like?
Anything you mark yes is priced into your estimate. Maybe and unsure are noted for your quote but left out of the total.
Please note: marquees, tents, teepees and any other temporary structure are not permitted on the Estate. The weather here is severe enough that we cannot rely on them standing, and there are no exceptions. Everything happens in the Lodge, in front of it, or on the hill.
The Weekend
Exclusive use of the Lodge and the Bothy, fully catered, with the glen to yourselves. Tick anything you would like us to price.
There is no mobile signal in the glen and no neighbours within earshot, which is rather the point. Clay shooting, a simulated shoot day, the Argocat, hill walking and fishing are all in the list above. Open fires, bonfires, barbecues and fireworks are not permitted anywhere on the Estate.
Tell Us About Your Stay
What is the week for? Tick whatever fits, and we will shape the days around it.
There is no mobile signal in the glen. Wi-Fi runs throughout the Lodge and the Bothy.
Do You Need Help With Anything?
The glen is around an hour beyond Spean Bridge on a single track road, and there is no mobile signal once you are in it. Tell us how you are travelling and we will help with the last leg.
