Easily accessible from the village of Lairg, the property comes with plenty of outdoor space with furniture, and off-road parking. Head inside and discover the kitchen/diner, appointed with all the mod cons needed for a week away, whilst the dining area is ideal for hosting mealtimes. After a day of walking, look forward to curling up on the sofa and catching up on your favourite shows from the wall-mounted Smart TV, whilst the woodburning stove crackles in the background. Challenge each other to a game of billiards or take the evening outside as you sit at the furniture and enjoy a warm night. The first bedroom lies downstairs and offers a king-size bed serviced by a shower room, ideal for those guests with limited mobility. Head upstairs to find a family room with three single beds and two further king-size bedrooms, each neutrally presented and a good amount of storage. Challenger Lodge invites families for a remarkable escape to the Highlands.
