Untamed Luxury. Curated Escapism.
Opening May 2026 on Scotland’s northern coast, Hope is the hotel and exclusive use property by WildLand - set within the vast, coastal landscape of Sutherland, where nature is being carefully restored and protected for the long term. More than a place to stay, Hope introduces a new kind of Highland hospitality. Immersive, conservation-led, and profoundly connected to nature.
Hope brings new life to a historic hunting lodge, now reimagined as an intimate hotel and exclusive-use retreat with a collection of restored cottages and, at its heart, a communal gathering point known as the Clachan. From the restored lodge, Hope offers an inclusive stay where every element is curated, from daily guided adventures and wellness rituals to food, drinks, facilities and equipment. Guests are invited to immerse themselves completely, to embrace the changing seasons and terrain, and to connect with the community who live and work here – all guided by a deep respect for the historical, cultural, and environmental context of the Scottish Highlands.
A gathering place, for the wild at heart.
Hope Lodge
Built in the 1870s as a Highland shooting lodge, Hope has been sensitively restored and brought to life by interior designers Cecile & Boyd. Drawing on decades of experience in immersive, nature-based spaces, they have merged thoughtful restoration with contemporary creativity. Materials are honest and grounded. Georgian and Jacobean oak furniture, softened by time, sits alongside textiles like tweed, flax, oilskin and ripstop to bring weight and weather. Hope Lodge houses seven bedrooms, each named in Gaelic to reflect qualities of light, beauty, soul and freedom, and is complemented by An Cala: an architecturally striking two bedroom cabin with private wood-fired hot tub set slightly apart in the forest, structured in glass, wood and copper. Designed for families or friends, An Cala offers both connection and privacy, with its own totally distinct character.
The Clachan
The Clachan at Hope is where all stays begin. It’s where guests arrive, leave their journey behind and focus on their time at Hope. A collection of stone buildings, the Clachan is home to the Steadings, which house treatment rooms, our gym and our adventure centre. This is where conservation and activity experts lead guests into the epic landscapes of our 100,000-acre Sutherland estate – for wild swimming, wilder hikes, immersion in our regeneration work and adrenaline activities that make the most of the Highlands – before bringing you back to the warm heart of Hope.
Natural daily rhythms.
