Located just south of the iconic Kyle of Tongue on Scotland’s north coast, Kinloch Lodge is a Victorian sporting  lodge reimagined for the 21st century. What was a rather spartan and tired holiday home has been transformed into a luxurious oasis over several phases of work in conjunction with Wildland’s creative director, Ruth Kramer. The main house has been carefully repaired and upgraded inside using warm tones and natural materials, enhanced by the addition of a new conservatory to link the house and beautifully replanted gardens in all seasons. The kitchens have also received a full rethink, creating practical but beautiful workspaces befitting the carefully selected Scottish ingredients used to prepared the curated guest meals.

Outside, landscaping by Richard Preston Garden Design softly connects the main house with the collection of corrugated-iron clad outbuildings; each of which has been repaired and then reconfigured internally. While the smaller buildings contain necessary back-of-house facilities, including all new heating and power equipment, the larger Annex provides indoor space to play with room for film nights, yoga, as well as spa treatments.
