Kiltarlity Lodges Accommodation

Guests at Kiltarlity can choose from a selection of comfortable two and three bedroom timber lodges, all designed to make the most of their stunning woodland surroundings. The lodges are bright and spacious throughout, with large windows framing panoramic views over the picturesque Highland scenery that surrounds the park on every side. Every lodge has a well-equipped kitchen including a microwave, a television with Freesat, and all the comforts you need for a relaxing stay. Bed linen, duvets and towels are all included in the rental price.

Some lodges at Kiltarlity feature their own private hot tub, adding a genuine touch of luxury to the Highland experience. There are few better ways to end a long day on the hills than settling into a hot tub as the stars come out over the woodland and the night closes in around you. Travel cots and highchairs are available for families with young children, charged at £12 and £7 per week respectively. Pets are welcome at no extra charge for up to two animals per lodge, making Kiltarlity an excellent choice for those who want to bring the whole family along.

Please note that the indoor heated swimming pool is available from 1 April to 28 October. All other park facilities are available throughout the year. Some lodges are suitable for visitors with partial disabilities, so it is worth checking availability when booking if this is relevant to your party. All accommodation is non-smoking throughout.

On Site Facilities

The on site facilities at Kiltarlity Lodges are exceptional for a Highland park of this size. An indoor heated swimming pool, tennis court, fire pit, children’s play area, WiFi access throughout and a launderette all contribute to a stay that never feels like you are far from everything you need. The fire pit in particular adds something special to evenings at Kiltarlity, gathering around the flames as the Highland air cools and the woodland settles into quiet around you.

Loch Ness, the Cairngorms and the Surrounding Area

The location of Kiltarlity Lodges is extraordinary for anyone who wants to explore the very best of the Scottish Highlands. Loch Ness is close by and simply cannot be missed. The Inverfarigaig to Foyers walking trail is a 6.4 mile circular route that looks out over the magical loch, starting at the Inverfarigaig car park and continuing to Upper Foyers before descending alongside the famous falls. It takes around four hours at a comfortable pace and offers some of the finest views of Loch Ness available on foot. Whether or not you spot its elusive inhabitant is another matter entirely.

The Cairngorms National Park, the largest national park in the UK, creates a majestic backdrop to the east and provides outstanding opportunities for hiking, wildlife watching and winter sports. Red squirrels, ospreys, red kites and the rare Scottish wildcat all inhabit the park, and the walking and cycling on offer across the plateau and through the ancient Caledonian pine forests is consistently rewarding at any time of year. A boat trip on the Moray Firth offers the chance to see bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat, one of the most reliable dolphin watching locations in the whole of Europe.

The region is also extraordinarily rich in history. Fort George, built following the Battle of Culloden in 1746, is one of the most complete 18th century military fortifications in Europe, with reconstructed barrack rooms and an outstanding collection of muskets, pikes and period artefacts. Clava Cairns, just outside Inverness, is a remarkable Bronze Age cemetery dating back around 4,000 years, with kerb cairns, ring cairns and passage graves that inspired elements of the Outlander series and remain genuinely atmospheric whatever the weather.

Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, is just a short drive from Kiltarlity and well worth a day’s exploration. The city has a stunning Gothic cathedral, an excellent range of independent shops and restaurants, and the fascinating Inverness Museum and Art Gallery. It also serves as a practical base for stocking up on supplies before settling into the lodge for the evening.
