The Lodge is set in a magnificent location in Shiel Forest, in an area of outstanding natural beauty, protected by mature grounds.
The Lodge is very well placed for access to what must be some of the best hill walking in the country. The Kintail range of hills is visible from the Lodge.
Fishing / Stalking is available on the Estate and locally by arrangement. Skye is easily accessible (approximately 18 miles to the bridge) and with the scenery and many local attractions the Lodge makes an idea base for touring and sightseeing.
Of course, should you wish to do little but relax, the comfortable surroundings of the Lodge will allow you to unwind or indeed enjoy time with family and friends. Due to the size of the Lodge it would make an ideal location for large gatherings for special occasions.
The property is a traditional highland shooting / holiday Lodge which has been recently renovated to a very high standard.

Fishing for salmon and sea trout is available on the Glenshiel Estate in the River Shiel and on the Loch through which the river passes. Fishing may be rented with the Lodge and is available between the beginning of July and the 15th of October, with the best fishing through late July and August.
Up to four rods can fish at any one time and fishing is normally restricted to fly only. Fishing by other methods may be permitted under certain conditions and spinning is advisable in some of the more wooded pools. The weekly rent for the whole of the fishing is £260 inclusive of VAT. If the fishing has not been let by the week, to Lodge tenants or others, it is possible to purchase day tickets.
Deer stalking is available by arrangement. Stalking of stags is available between September and 20th October 2005 at a cost of £250 plus Vat per stag. From the 20th October, the stalking of hinds is available and the price would be by agreement with the managing agents, Strutt and Parker.
The Lodge is located at Shiel Bridge, on the A87 (to Kyle of Lochalsh). Shiel Bridge is approached from the south, Fort William, via the A82, Great Glen, and A87 (turning at Invergarry), a distance of approximately 59 miles.
From the north, the property is approximately 66 miles from Inverness, and reached via the A82 (towards Fort Augustus), the A887 (turning at Invermoriston) and thence onto the A87.
