Ben Damph Lodge and The Bothy, Torridon, Wester Ross, Scotland

Ben Damph Lodge - sleeps 10
Bothy - sleeps 4

This little piece of Highland heaven is perfect for families, friends, retreats and special interest groups to get together for a proper break away from it all. Choose to stay in a gorgeous architecturally designed holiday house near Applecross that fits perfectly into the wonderful landscape making use of natural resources to maintain a low carbon footprint. Or opt for the Bothy, carefully restored and kept warm with 2 cosy wood burning stoves. The Loch Torridon location provides a spectacular water and mountain backdrop with lots of scope for a range of outdoor activities or just enjoying the peace, tranquility and a soak in the wood fired hot tub.

Ben Damph Lodge has a sociable open plan layout and works well for all occasions. Settle down together for a special family dinner or push the furniture back and get the party started. After all there are no neighbours to disturb. The cosy Bothy, closer to the loch, provides additional accommodation a short walk away, popular with young families, teens or grandparents wanting some privacy. The two rooms are connected by a porch where you can enjoy the view and some handmade furniture makes it homely. Pick up supplies in nearby Torridon or Shieldaig, head back and cook together or, on a balmy evening, fire up the barbecue and sit outside, looking out for golden eagles and red deer, and engaging in a spot of stargazing.

The bedrooms in the Lodge are conveniently positioned across the 2 floors. The ground floor triples are ideal for families and the upstairs for couples. Relax in the vintage freestanding bath in complete luxury, gazing out at the water below through an enormous picture window, and remind yourself that life doesn't get much better than this. The bedroom spaces in the bothy are very cute and heated by wood burning stoves.

Ben Damph Estate is paradise for those who love the outdoors, with mountains, lochs and glens to explore without even getting in the car, with access to the beach by the loch. Walking trails from the door, including one that leads to the local pub. Stalking is and fishing is available.
