Hope
Set within the vast, coastal landscapes of Sutherland, find Hope. Once a historic hunting lodge, Hope has been recreated as an immersive, exclusive-use retreat, hotel and collection of cottages.
“A new kind of Highland hospitality, profoundly connected to nature.
Within WildLand’s 100,00-acre estate in Scotland’s most northerly point, the Highlands’ raw nature meets conservation-led experiences, rooted to the rhythms of land, sea and soul. Cradled in the dramatic landscapes is Hope Lodge, two self-catering, loch-side cottages and an adventure hub set up for forays into the wild.
Our Spaces
Hope offers a versatile collection of places to stay, scattered around our 100,000-acre Sutherland estate. Hope Lodge houses seven bedrooms, all with distinctive Gaelic names that reflect the light, freedom and beauty of its surroundings; nearby, an architecturally-striking cabin sleeps four. Two standalone cottages sit on the shores of Loch Hope with expanding views to the mountains and beyond.

Joyful dining at Hope
Feasting, soulful food and season-led menus are an essential part of the Hope experience. Like all of our WildLand properties, dining follows the seasons using ingredients that are deeply connected to the landscapes.
Our expert chefs bring joy to breakfasts, lunches and suppers, working hard to maintain relationships with trusted local suppliers, sourcing food from our own estates or foraging from the countryside.
Picnic lunches can be taken in the wild, and afternoon teas are the perfect welcome home after adventures in nature.
A PLACE FOR ANY OCCASION
The starting point for adventures in the Scottish Highlands, The Clachan is where everything begins. A collection of striking stone buildings, the Clachan is home to the Steadings, which houses treatment rooms, our gym and our adventure centre. It’s also where our guides accompany you into the wild on remote hikes and conservation tours, adrenaline-fuelled fun and to secret swim spots.
