Your Glen Dessary experience begins long before you reach the lodge. As you follow the winding track beside Loch Arkaig, each mile takes you further from the everyday, and deeper into a remote Highland wilderness.
With phone signal diminishing and no distractions — just dramatic scenery, rich wildlife, and our team ready to welcome you. Your stay is truly off-grid. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Before you set off, don’t forget the essentials. You’re heading into the Highlands — pack for four seasons in a single day. This is not the place for white trainers. Sturdy boots, warm layers, and waterproofs are a must of you're heading out on the hill.
On arrival, you’ll be met by the team with a warm Highland welcome — and a chilled glass of champagne. The journey in is part of the charm, and as you step into the lodge, surrounded by miles of wilderness, it’s clear this is something special.
Whether you're here to stalk, fish, explore or simply unwind by the fire, Glen Dessary is a place to embrace nature, switch off, and enjoy the stillness.
After a day on the hill, there’s nothing more comforting than a roaring fire and the warmth of the lodge. Cosy rooms, delicious home-cooked food using local ingredients, and a well-stocked bar create the perfect end to an adventurous day.
Please note, no outside alcohol may be brought into the lodge — our hospitality team has everything covered.
The Highlands are as beautiful as they are unpredictable. Rain, sun, snow, and wind can all arrive in a single afternoon — so pack accordingly.
Trainers won’t cut it. Solid walking boots, waterproofs and warm layers are essential for stalking or exploring the glen. Your adventure starts with the right gear.
Glen Dessary is a retreat in every sense. You won’t find phone signal here — just breathtaking silence. The lodge is connected via Starlink broadband, so emails and occasional calls are possible, but this is the place to disconnect and breathe.
Whether you're reading by the fire, enjoying the view, or taking in the peace and quiet, the absence of signal is part of the charm.
If you're joining us for a sporting trip, rest assured you're in expert hands. The estate provides rifles and a qualified stalker to guide you safely and professionally across the estate.
While we know many guests bring considerable experience, please note that estate rifles may only be used for stalking.
