Perched on the banks of the River Laxford, this sweet red house is surrounded by idyllic views and offers simple, elegant accommodation for ten guests.

Head north-west with your family and friends to experience a truly memorable group holiday at this property at Laxford Bridge. Take in the spectacular views across the River Laxford and the dramatic landscapes of the surrounding hills. Up to 10 guests are welcome to stay at this inviting property, which has six bedrooms. Pack supplies and venture out on long group walks through breathtaking scenery. Return home to light the woodburner or enjoy the riverside setting out in the sunshine.

Settle into your bright, spacious holiday home as soon as you arrive. Enjoy its airy rooms and comfortable furnishings. Spread out between your two lounges, which each have a woodburner, to play games, watch TV and plan the following day’s activities. Cook for your party in your kitchen, with its double oven and five ring hob and breakfast bar, where you can perch with a cup of coffee before you start preparing dinner. Lay the table in the dining room for hearty breakfasts to set you up for the day and lively group suppers in the evening. You’ll find two bedrooms, a WC and a family bathroom are also on the ground floor. Head upstairs to your four remaining comfortable bedrooms, which share two family bathrooms between them.

Relish your private, enclosed garden, where you can sit out in the spring and summer and while away hours just taking in the views, with the river tumbling at the bottom. There is plenty of parking at the house.

Included within the price of the property is fishing on four mapped hill lochs, where brown trout can be found in abundance. Wander up to Loch Laxford (1 mile) where you can take a refreshing dip in the cold waters, enjoy a spot of kayaking or look out for unique wildlife like otters, seals and puffins. The local area is peppered with mountain peaks to be hiked or explored by bike, including Arkle and Ben Stack, accessible within 5 miles of the property. Those wanting to explore the local area with a little bit of expert guidance can head 4 miles to the Ridgway Adventure centre, for sea kayaking and adventures on foot.

The remote Highlands location of this property means restaurants and bars are few and far between, but 6.5 miles away in the small village of Scourie you'll find a luxury hotel with quality food and a bar. Be sure to sample quality seafood gleaned from Scourie Bay. Take a stroll on the sandy beach after dinner, enjoying the wildlife and sea birds from the nearby island of Handa. To visit Handa, head to Tarbet (6.5 miles) and jump on a short ferry. The island is famous for its puffin population, but you're also likely to spot red deer, otters, seals and even the occasional whale.

Wonderful location for exploring magnificent scenery- mountains, river and coast. Very comfortable house for eight of us and well equipped, with wonderful hot water and wood burning stove. Favourite room was the conservatory with the beautiful view of Laxford River.

Lovely well appointed house only let down by the Saturday to Saturday let which is not convenient to fishermen who fish weekdays and travel on Sunday. We have stayed here many times before and would do again.

A beautiful house in a lovely location. The scenery in the area is spectacular and it was lovely to come home to a warm, comfortable house. We stayed over Christmas and found the kitchen was very well equipped with large roasting trays, pans of all sizes, graters, stick blender, everything you could wish for to create a delicious Christmas dinner.

Laxford Lodge is a wonderful holiday home for a large party. We were a party of eight but it could have taken more. That is our third visit there and we know the area well, lovely sunsets and stunning views. The house has everything required for a family holiday, all you have to do is turn up.
