An immersive, exclusive-use retreat offering untamed luxury and curated escapism in the wilds of the Scottish Highlands

“A gathering place for the wild at heart.
Stay

Our Rooms

Having Hope to yourself means the quiet pleasure of Hope Lodge and its seven bedrooms, set to a canvas of Scots pine wood, Georgian furniture and tactile tweed. The nearby cabin, An Cala, is an architectural masterpiece with a wood-fired hot tub. Our two cottages, meanwhile, sit along the shore of the tranquil, secluded loch, with views that stretch to Ben Hope. Hope Lodge can be taken individually as an exclusive hire, or with the addition of An Cala cabin or our loch-side cottages for larger groups.

Dine around the seasons

Dining at Hope is always joyful and full of the pleasures of good food and great company. As a group, you can gather at communal breakfasts, tasting fresh, seasonal flavours to start the day in good spirits.

Lunch might be a picnic in the glen or by a waterfall, while dinner brings nourishing ingredients together in culinary alchemy, while you share stories of your adventures in the wild. For something special, enjoy a fire-cooked meal by a remote bothy or celebrate in with a long-table, candlelit dinner in the Belvedere.

Things to do

A gathering of friends or family in the Highlands offers a truly memorable way to be immersed in Hope’s unfiltered nature. Days are sculpted around the wild elements, with activities deeply connected to water, land, sky and sea; and always intertwined WildLand’s deep care for its surroundings. 

Daily Rhythms

Take a hike to a secluded cove for a beach clean, or paddleboard the coastline, spotting dolphins or seals. Native woodlands reveal opportunities for foraging, tree planting or conservation discovery walks. After a day in Hope’s dramatic landscapes, retreat to cosy spaces for group yoga, a restorative sound bath or perhaps an engaging fermentation class in the kitchen. Hope allows groups of family and friends to come away feeling nourished and nurtured by nature.  

Gatherings

For the ultimate gathering, where the world is far away and your loved ones stay close, explore the vastness of Hope for spectacular celebrations, weddings, retreats and milestone birthdays. With boundless horizons and awe-inspiring Highland scenery, enjoy time with friends and family: lingering mealtimes, infinite stargazing, adventurous forays and unscripted moments.
