Welcome
to Newton Lodge Hotel
Newton Lodge is a small private 4-star guest house, purpose built to offer quality
en-suite accommodation. The Lodge nestles between Quinag, a well known mountain
and the sea loch, Loch Glencoul and is ideally situated for exploring the Northwest
Highland Tourist Route.
At Newton Lodge you will find a warm welcome, comfort and home
cooking. Our non-smoking lodge is for residents only
and we have strived to create a homely atmosphere in a country house amidst
beautiful scenery.
The hotel is centrally heated
throughout. The beautifully fitted residents lounge has spectacular
views over
Loch Glencoul and just below is a small seal colony. 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 pre and after
dinner drinks in either our lounge or conservatory while watching the seals and
enjoying the fabulous views.
During your holiday you will find lots of things to do in the
area. 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. The
se can be taken as a leisurely stroll, or you
attempt one of the more adventurous mountain walks.
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). You
will also be able to obtain a closer look at the seal colony during the trip.
Trout fishing permits
can be obtained locally. Above all else, the area is famous for
its beautiful scenery and the many people who return year after year testify to
this.
Newton
Lodge is situated two miles south of Kylesku village and the spectacular Kylesku Bridge.
The fishing village of Lochinver is a scenic half hour drive. Newton Lodge 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. Our lounge
and
conservatory 
command fine views
over Loch Glencoul, a sea loch
or fjord carved by glaciers during the Ice Age. On the mountains opposite a slab
of Lewisian Gneiss has been thrust over cliffs of orange-brown quartzite to form
the Glencoul thrust.
We are
blessed with a wealth of wildlife in our area. Red deer and common seal are
numerous. Otter and badger are often seen and the lucky few have 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.
