About Alladale Wilderness Reserve

Alladale Wilderness Reserve is a 23,000-acre gem in the Scottish Highlands, about 1.5 hours North of Inverness. We work hard to keep this part of Scotland truly wild, by replanting lush forest and reintroducing original Highland plant & animal species. Alladale’s rugged terrain, dramatic glens, colorful hills, glistening rivers, and herds of majestic red deer will take your breath away.

Alladale Wilderness Reserve is a 23,000-acre gem in the Scottish Highlands, about 1.5 hours North of Inverness. We work hard to keep this part of Scotland truly wild, by replanting lush forest and reintroducing original Highland plant & animal species. Alladale’s rugged terrain, dramatic glens, colorful hills, glistening rivers, and herds of majestic red deer will take your breath away.

Alladale offers three types of accommodation on site: the luxury Victorian lodge, two comfortable self/catered cottages, and a rustic bunkhouse tucked away deep in the reserve. 7% of our accommodation revenue is transferred to our partner The European Nature Trust. So by staying with us, you will contribute directly to a variety of conservation and restorations efforts throughout Europe. We would love to welcome you here.

At Alladale, we respect, know, and praise the healing powers of nature: spending time in the great outdoors makes one feel ultimately recharged and connected. We are host to an amazing range of events and retreats (see below) to do just that, while delving into the things you love. Some of them will challenge you and are not for the faint of heart, others are of a more leisurely nature. But all of them will take you to one of the last truly wild places of Scotland.

Set against rugged hills and the country’s most northerly ancient Caledonian pine forest, the Alladale Lodge is the ultimate private getaway. This beautiful Victorian manor, refurbished by Laura Ashley, is comfortable and spacious. Its traditional design makes it a true Scottish home away from home. The property boasts a set of lovely extras, such as an in-house sauna, gym and snooker room.
The lodge sets itself apart from other accommodations on site not only by its Victorian style and extras, but also by its fully catered and serviced character. With a talented chef putting up amazing meals every day and staff to cater to your every need, all you have to do is sit back and enjoy an evening by the fire after a day of exploring the reserve.

The lodge is basic, but has everything you need. It’s the view and location that make this place so extraordinary: staying here means experiencing the epiphany of Scotland’s rough beauty. This is where herds of red deer gather and golden eagles nest. Driving up through Glen Mor and being treated to a view of Deanich Lodge amidst dramatic mountain tops is a sight to behold.
