Lundies House, Scotland

Character and identity

A converted Victorian manse on the Kyle of Tongue, Lundies sits at the genuinely remote tip of Scotland's north coast, a two-hour drive from Inverness through heather and hill. The 1842 clergy house sleeps 16 across a handful of rooms in the main house and a few more in the courtyard steadings, with interiors by Anne Holch Povlsen blending Scandinavian restraint, bespoke Scottish cabinetry, wool throws and sheepskin underfoot. Four communal sitting rooms anchor the ground floor. Dinner happens in a single luminous room hand-painted with botanical blossom. Service is light-touch, intuitive, never hovering. The mood is intimate country house, as clubbable or private as you like.

Who's it for

Bottom line

What sets Lundies apart is the rare alignment of a profoundly remote setting with a level of comfort and considered detail that means you never want to leave the house. Book if you want true seclusion paired with serious cooking and intuitive service; a main-house bedroom captures the swaddled feeling best, and summer brings long light, swallows and foraged chanterelles.
