Challenger Lodge

• "Myself, partner, daughter, friend and her son spend a great Monday to Friday in the Challenger Lodge."

  The space was great and we don't think the pictures really did it justice as it felt a lot bigger in person. It had everything we needed and the pool table was a great addition and great quality too. The surrounding area was awesome and I can imagine it looks stunning in summer. Very remote but modern inside. Would definitely recommend. Karen

• "The Challenger Lodge is a beautiful home, in a stunning location."

  If you'd like to go away and switch off from the world in the middle of nowhere - but with a village within reach - this is the place for you. (It does have wifi, but still very much feels like your out in the beautiful hills - and can switch off if you like) The games room was used a plenty, and the hot tub is a fantastic addition to the lodge. The kitchen became a perfect dance floor - as did the living room. Everything you could need for a trip away - and you can bring your furry family too! The owners were so friendly and helpful. Thank you again for having us, we can't wait to come back

  Thank you so much for your lovely review. We aim to make The Lodge a warm and comfortable space to enjoy a restful holiday. I hope you come back and spend time again at Challenger as we believe it such a beautiful and restful haven to be shared. Property Owner

• "We had a lovely christmas at challenger lodge."

  The facilities were good, comfortable and spacious and the surroundings were magical especially as we had a white christmas! The only down side was that the hot tub was not useable and there was no dryer- with 6 kids it was missed. Definately would recommend and stay again.

  Thank you for taking the time to write a review. All feedback is always welcome. Apologies for the inability to use the hot tub that was a delay on our part. As for the dryer we took your advice and we have installed one. I hope you return to Challenger as it would be lovely to welcome you back to this wild Scottish estate. Property Owner

  The place is very spacious. Beds were comfortable. Nice big tv and wood burner for cosy nights after walking from the front door to the lochs. The pool table provided plenty of fun!! Very clean house and the views were beautiful!!

• "We had an excellent weeks holiday at Challenger Lodge which we found ideal as a base for exploring the North coast of Scotland."

  Our party consisted of three adults and one dog and had plenty of space since the accommodation sleeps up to 9 persons. Challenger Lodge is spacious, well appointed, classily decorated and clean. The property is set in a secluded location with open views out to the loch and surrounding hillsides yet only 5 minutes by car to the town of Lairg where there is a Spar supermarket, fish & chip take away, hotel with bar and petrol station. There are several local wooded walks, both on the estate and in the local area with one good walk to a very private Loch Craggie along a logging road. A welcoming pack of basic essentials was much appreciated on arrival and the owner Shanta, who was visiting the estate during our stay, thoughtfully brought a dog bowl, dog bed and dog treats. We will be looking to make a return visit in the near future with other members of the family as the property is excellent value for money.

• "Perfect retreat for escaping the rat race."

  Secluded but close enough (5 min drive) to local village for supplies, fuel, chips! etc.. Perfect base to travel out from to explore the Highlands, in a week we managed Castle of Mae, John o Groats, Loch Ness, Inverness, Dunrobin castle, the North coast road to Durness, Glenmorangie Distillery. Barn owl was a regular visitor, we heard the deer around but they were too shy to show their faces. Property was spot on, enough hot water to fill Loch Shin, WiFi all over the house fast enough to feed several Netflix hungry tired offspring with more gadgets than NASA .. So much space inside that the 8 of us could find seclusion when needed easy enough. The only downside was leaving, will be back again as soon as I recover from the 10 hour trip from the Midlands..

  Thank you for your generous feedback. It's gratefully acknowledged and we're pleased that you and your family had an enjoyable stay. Hope to see you return in the winter season when the snow filled landscape is spectacular. As you noted we're particularly proud of the high speed internet (150 MB/S) we have at the property - one of very few in the highlands. Property Owner

• "It is a fantastic house / estate We enjoyed every minute of our stay."

  The house has a spacious kitchen well stocked. two fridges an extra freezer in the garage. great pool room. nice size lounge. bedrooms are comfortable. It was great one morning to see 6 deer in the garden. (Best to look from the upstairs windows then they won't notice and run away) Definitely to be recommended.
