Welcome
to Kylesku Lodges
Kylesku Lodges is a family run business consisting of 10
Scandinavian design A-frame lodges set in 30 acres of private estate in the
Scottish Highlands. The lodges are situated on an elevated site at the head of a
sea loch on the beautiful Kylesku Peninsula, roughly 20 minutes drive from
Lochinver. Quinag, a well known mountain in
the Assynt range, provides a spectacular backdrop and each lodge is sited to
make the most of both mountain and sea views.
The lodges are
purpose built to offer quality self catering accommodation
for up to four
persons and each lodge offers panoramic views over loch and mountain. The lodges
are in a secluded setting and yet Kylesku Village with boat trips, restaurant
and post office is within comfortable walking distance. Kylesku Lodges are also
ideally situated for exploring the Northwest Highland
Tourist Route. 
The
lodges are heated throughout. The lounge opens up through large patio doors to
a balcony with spectacular views over mountain and sea loch. This is an
ideal setting to unwind and enjoy a relaxing drink while watching the sun set
over the loch. Don't forget your binoculars as Golden Eagle, Buzzard and Red
Deer can be viewed from your lodge.
During your holiday you will find lots of
things to do in the
area. Should you want to just relax and unwind then this is the place to do so,
or you may wish to discover some of the interesting local attractions.
Beautiful, lonely, unspoilt beaches are within easy reach and there are
numerous walks in the area. These can be taken as a leisurely stroll, or you
can attempt one of the more adventurous mountain walks. Well behaved dogs
are welcome, in designated lodges, by prior arrangement.
From Kylesku you can take a
boat trip up 
Loch Glencoul to see the highest waterfall in Britain, with its drop of
658feet (right). You
will also be able to look at the seal colony during the trip.
Trout fishing permits
can be obtained locally. Above all else, the area is famous for
its beautiful scenery and the many people who return year after year testify to
this.
Kylesku Lodges are situated within walking distance of Kylesku village and the spectacular Kylesku Bridge.
The f
ishing village of Lochinver is a scenic half hour drive. The lodges are also situated at the centre of Scotland's first
Global Geopark, a 2000
square km area, which encompasses some of the finest mountain and coastal
landscapes in Britain and a wealth of classic geological localities. Two miles
south of the lodges is a viewpoint overlooking Loch Glencoul, a sea loch
or fjord carved by glaciers during the Ice Age. On the mountains opposite a slab
of Lewisian Gneiss has been thrust over cliffs of orange-brown quartzite to form
the Glencoul thrust.
We are
blessed with a wealth of wildlife in our area. Red deer and common seal are
numerous. Otter and badger are often seen and the lucky few have spotted the elusive
pine martin and wildcat. For birdwatchers there is the nearby renowned Handa
Island (left),
with its spectacular seabird colonies. We also have local specialities such as Merlin,
Golden Eagle, Golden Plover and on the high mountains Ptarmigan and Snow
Bunting. Visit our "Wildlife Page" for more information.
