About the home

This charming Highland Lodge circa 1820 (the Mackenzie’s of Coul), has great individual character and offers an exceptionally well-appointed and welcoming holiday home near the road through the village. All on the ground floor, the freshly decorated rooms are stylishly furnished with many personal touches. The lovely, mature sun trap garden has decking, garden furniture and lawns. An excellent village shop and a lovely country house hotel “Coul House Hotel”, are both within walking distance of the Lodge.

The pretty village of Contin lies on the main road west from Inverness at the point where the fertile farmlands of Easter Ross give way to the rugged splendour of the West Coast Hills of Highlands typified by Ben Wyvis, Ben Eigh, Liathach, Torridon, Skye and the close at hand yet spectacular Falls of Rogie, all within a easy reach of the village.
Then onwards and upwards to wilderness of Caithness & Sutherland.

Inverness is 20 miles to the south and a 40 mile drive west through magnificent scenery leads to the fishing port of Ullapool where the car ferry leaves for Stornoway. Contin is a centre of excellence for mountain biking and also offers golf, angling, riding, walking and climbing.
