Cairn Lodges, Morar, Arisaig, Inverness-shire

Cairn Lodges offers a modern, luxurious retreat in the heart of the Scottish West Highlands, nestled between Arisaig and Mallaig along the scenic B8008 coast road. Set on 15 acres of tranquil hillside, each lodge is uniquely designed to harmonise with the natural landscape, providing guests with a secluded escape that doesn’t compromise on comfort. Four of the lodges are situated on elevated ground, offering stunning, uninterrupted sea views across to the Isles of Eigg and Rum, with the majestic Cuillin Mountains of the Isle of Skye in the distance.

Skye Lodge is a three-bedroom retreat with a unique grass roof that blends seamlessly into the hillside. Designed for up to six guests, it features a king-size bedroom with an ensuite shower room, a double bedroom, and a bunk bedroom. The spacious open-plan living area combines a well-equipped kitchen, dining area, and lounge with a cosy log-burning fire. Just off the entrance is the main bathroom. Outdoors, guests can relax on a private deck with comfortable seating, and a Swedish-style log-burning hot tub provides the perfect setting to take in the panoramic views and enjoy the Highland air.

Rum Lodge offers a similarly luxurious experience. This three-bedroom lodge, also with a grass roof, accommodates up to six guests, with two double bedrooms (one ensuite) and a bunk bedroom. The open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area, complete with a log-burning fire, is ideal for family gatherings or small groups looking for a relaxing escape. Like Skye Lodge, it has a main bathroom just off the entrance. The outdoor deck, featuring a Swedish-style log-burning hot tub, allows guests to unwind in a private space while admiring the breathtaking elevated sea views.

Eigg Lodge is a two-bedroom lodge, making it an ideal choice for couples or small families. Accommodating up to four guests, it includes a double bedroom with an ensuite shower room and a twin room. The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area is spacious and welcoming, with a log-burning fire providing warmth and ambience. A main shower room is conveniently located off the living area. The private deck with a Swedish-style hot tub and seating area offers uninterrupted sea views across to the Isles of Eigg and Rum, creating a perfect spot to relax.

All the lodges at Cairn Lodges have been designed with sustainability in mind, incorporating eco-friendly features and blending seamlessly with the natural contours of the hillside. Family-friendly and dog-friendly, they offer a comfortable, environmentally conscious experience, ideal for those looking to explore the rugged beauty of the West Highlands.

The surrounding Lochaber area is a vast coastal and rural region renowned for its dramatic landscapes, iconic sights, and outdoor activities. From the depths of freshwater lochs to white sandy beaches and towering sea cliffs, the scenery here is both diverse and spectacular. The area is home to famous locations such as Glencoe, The Great Glen, Glen Nevis, and Ardnamurchan, making it a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Positioned less than a five-minute walk from the renowned Camusdarach Beach, Cairn Lodges offers guests easy access to one of the most beautiful beaches in the region. In the direction of Arisaig, visitors will find the scenic Traigh Golf Course, a picturesque nine-hole course that overlooks the coast. The nearby village of Arisaig, with its charming marina, gift shop, and café, provides a quaint spot to explore. Mallaig, a small fishing village, features its own vibrant marina near the old pier, lined with gift shops and restaurants, making it a delightful destination for a day trip.
