Our Lodges

All of our self catering lodges have an open plan lounge/kitchen with dining table, a well equipped kitchen with conventional cooker and microwave, fridge with freezer compartment, a cosy log burning stove, a bathroom with over bath shower and a private outside veranda with further dining facilities.

The Wood Hatch.

The first of our individually decorated Lodges, bursting with character and named in homage to its creator, The Bearded Woodworker. The Wood Hatch is just the right combination of cosy cabin and funky hang-out; we hope you love it as much as we do!

The Rosemoor.

These 4 lodges been fully refurbished in early 2016 to include USB charger sockets and large flat-screen televisions, double glazing throughout as well as upgraded appliances, features, furniture and facilities in all rooms to include upgraded kitchen and bathroom suites

The Thistle.

All of our standard Thistle lodges have been redecorated and upgraded since 2015, with constant improvements being made.

 FAQs

  • You can book directly on our website on our BOOK NOW page, or by calling us at +44 (0)1456 450 377. We are listed on third-party booking channes, however we recommend booking directly through our website for the best rates.

  • Yes, a deposit of 50% is due at the time of booking with the balance due and charged 4 weeks before arrival. If your arrival is within 4 weeks, the whole sum will be charged at the time of booking.

  • In the past decade, our region has experienced a remarkable transformation in mobile connectivity, transitioning from minimal signal coverage to the lightning-fast 4G and 5G speeds. We are delighted to share that EE and Three mobile are the top providers in our area, both offering exceptional 4G coverage. While other networks also provide good phone signal, their internet connectivity can sometimes be less consistent.

  • Absolutely! We love to welcome dogs to Ancarraig. They are charged at £15 each with a maximum of two. Please add your furry friends at check-out when booking.

  • We understand that plans can change, and we strive to accommodate those changes as best as we can. If you need to cancel more than 4 weeks before your arrival, we'll charge a small 10% cancellation admin fee and refund the remainder of your 50% deposit.

    For cancellations within 30 days of arrival, the full amount is due unless we're able to resell the dates.

  • Wi-Fi is provided free of charge, however when many people are trying to share the same line it can be slow and it can be heavily influenced by the weather and/or if the line of sight is interrupted - eg on windy days when the swaying trees interfere with the signal.

    Please do not book Ancarraig with expectations of super fast broadband - sadly we do not have it here in the hills above Loch Ness.

    For basic socials, emails and web-surfing, you should be just fine.

  • Our lodges do not have hot tubs, as we focus on providing a retreat centred around relaxation and a connection with nature rather than luxury amenities. The tranquil woodland setting, cosy interiors, and stunning views offer a peaceful escape for our guests, perfect for unwinding and enjoying the simple pleasures of life.

  • Unfortunately not, but there is a bustling hub of amenities and facilities in the village of Drumnadrochit, just three miles away where you can buy all the supplies and groceries you might need.

  • To keep our rates as low as possible and maintain full transparency, we charge a cleaning fee that covers the cost of laundering linen and the services of a contract cleaning company that travels from Inverness to Ancarraig Lodges. This allows us to uphold the high standards of cleanliness and comfort you expect, while providing the best value for your stay. Unlike other operators who build this fee into the nightly rate, our one-off fee ensures fairness, whether you're staying for one night or ten.
