Welcome
to Newton Lodge
Newton Lodge, Kylesku is a luxury bed and breakfast
(B&B), purpose built to offer quality
en-suite accommodation. Situated just south of the peaceful hamlet of
Kylesku in the Highlands of Scotland, our guest house nestles between Quinag, a well known mountain
and the sea loch, Loch Glencoul. Newton Lodge B & B is a highly individual
and special place to unwind or a base from which to explore the Northwest
Highland Tourist Route.
At Newton Lodge you will
receive a warm welcome from resident proprietors, Andre and Freda. Our non-smoking
guest house provides bed and breakfast accommodation in an exclusive and
intimate setting, with discrete and yet attentive service. We have strived to create a
relaxed atmosphere in a country house amidst stunning scenery, where you can
truly escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The
B&B is centrally heated
throughout. The beautifully fitted drawing room has spectacular
views over
Loch Glencoul, a sea loch or fjord carved by glaciers during the Ice Age and just below is a
breeding colony of common seal. The seals can be observed
from our telescope in the conservatory or by taking a walk along the shoreline. We
hold a residents licence for wine and spirits so guests can enjoy a drink in either our lounge or conservatory while watching the seals and
enjoying the fabulous views.
During your ho
liday you will find lots of things to do in the
area. From Kylesku you can take a
boat trip to Kerrachar Gardens (left) or up Loch Glencoul to
see the highest waterfall in Britain, with its drop of 658feet (right). This
trip takes you really close to the seal colony, allowing great photo
opportunities.
Newton Lodge
B&B is situated two miles south of Kylesku village and the spectacular
Kylesku bridge. The fishing village of Lochinver is a scenic half hour drive.
Our bed and breakfast accommodation is also situated at the centre of Scotland's first Global Geopark, a 2000
square km area, which encompasses some of the finest mountain and coastal
landscapes in Britain and a wealth of classic geological localities. On the mountains opposite
our guest house, a slab
of Lewisian Gneiss has been thrust over cliffs of orange-brown quartzite to form
the famous Glencoul thrust.
Should you want to just relax and unwind then this is the
place to do so, or you may wish to discover some of the interesting local
attractions. Beautiful, lonely, unspoilt beaches are within easy access and
there are numerous walks in the area. These can be taken as a leisurely stroll,
or you attempt one of the more adventurous mountain walks. Trout fishing permits
can be obtained locally and there are also sea angling opportunities. If this
has whetted your appetite then visit out "things
to do" page for more details of the activities in our area.
We
a
re
blessed with a wealth of wildlife in our area. Red deer and common seal are
numerous. Otter and badger are often seen from the B & B and we have a
resident stoat family. The lucky few have even spotted the elusive
pine martin and wildcat. For birdwatchers there is the nearby renowned Handa
Island (left),
with its spectacular seabird colonies. We also have local specialities such as Merlin,
Golden Eagle, Golden Plover and on the high mountains Ptarmigan and Snow
Bunting. Visit our "Wildlife Page" for more information.
Above all else, the area is famous for
its beautiful scenery and the many people who return year after year testify to
this.
