Smoo Lodge is exclusive, stylish and intimate boutique B&B in a former 18th century sporting lodge, close to the sea. Enjoy a relaxing and luxurious stay in one of the most iconic buildings in Durness, surrounded by the stunning coastal and rugged mountain scenery of the NW Highlands, with wildlife all around. A tranquil sanctuary for anyone wishing to escape the daily routine and rigours of modern urban living. We love meeting guests from all backgrounds and parts of the globe. The lodge is situated close to the famous Smoo Cave and dates from 1790, but incorporates the earlier 17th century house of Murdo Lowe, an Orkney merchant who traded from the geo (inlet) at Smoo. It is set in nearly two acres with beautiful dry stone walls enclosing private guest parking, garden areas and a paddock facing the sea that is set aside for nature. The lodge has been lovingly refurbished throughout and is furnished to a high standard, with every room exquisitely designed & fashionably styled, beautifully synthesising the original features and unique character of this beautiful old stone-built house with contemporary comfort, decor & soft furnishings. A variety of stylish and comfortable rooms are available in different size & decor. We are passionate about offering our guests delicious and hearty meals, with the emphasis always on quality, variety and healthy eating. The diverse breakfast menu features Scottish, Continental & Korean dishes, using locally sourced fresh ingredients and home cooked food where possible. Evening meals are also available upon request at time of booking.
