GLENCANISP LODGE
Glencanisp Lodge is the perfect venue for a get-together of friends, family or work colleagues. It is an ideal base for a walking or mountaineering group, or a fishing, hunting, or wildlife group. Its peace and beauty also make it a perfect location for a group retreat, for writing, meditating, or just relaxing with friends or family away from the hustle and bustle of the modern world.
Glencanisp Lodge is available to hire as a whole unit, either self catering, or with high quality catering provided to suit your wishes.
Catering options include full evening meals, Scottish cooked breakfasts, packed lunches to take out during the day, buffets, and wedding receptions.
Perfect group accommodation for a strenuous walking holiday, with open fires and woodburning stoves waiting for you on your return from the hills and mountains. Or perhaps you just want to potter around the quiet lawns of the lodge gazing at the views, or take a boat around the wooded islands of the beautiful loch at the foot of the lodge's gardens.
Rowing boats and kayaks are available at Glencanisp to hire at very reasonable prices. Trout fishing permits can be obtained for fishing on literally hundreds of lochs and lochans in the area.
Access to the lodge is via a single track road from Lochinver. In front of the lodge, a large garden with a well maintained lawn leads down to the shore of Loch Druim Suardalain. There are lounges with real fires, large dining room, and 12 bedrooms, including a downstairs wheelchair-accessible en suite - providing comfortable sleeping for 28+ people.

What some of our guests have said
"Well, I had a lovely week and am hard pressed to criticise anything. It is like a dream now as I sit here looking out on to the tiny street of too small houses that are far too near one another."
"Loved it and intend to come back with reinforcements."
"An excellent and inspiring (and deliciously quiet) venue in an awesome location – my only regret is that I had too little time here."
"If you could just move Canisp over half a mile so that both can be seen from the bedroom windows that would be great!"
"Really don’t want to leave."
