Owner's Description
Craigroyston Lodge is simply stunning. Larch-clad , Scandinavian design, full of light and securely enclosed by a traditional "drystane dyke", constructed from stone reclaimed from ancient black houses. Bright and airy, it boasts a huge open-plan living space with cathedral ceilings clad in rough-sawn Douglas Fir.
A large, modern kitchen space takes up one corner of the ground floor and is adjacent to the dining area. The dining area easily accommodates eight around a comfortable table, with views through the huge south facing floor-to-ceiling windows. A twin bed roomed room and adjacent shower room complete the downstairs accommodation.
The main bedrooms , both doubles and indeed one with a king-size bed, are upstairs are accessed via "the minstrels gallery". The bathroom lies between the two bedrooms. All have unrivalled views across the neighbouring crofts to the Broad Bay beaches.

A carport and a large garden shed can also be used to store or secure bicycles and other bulky equipment, such as boating, fishing, or water sports gear.
Craigroyston Lodge is perfect for family gatherings, groups of friends or business parties. French oak flooring has been laid throughout and therefore stiletto and other sharp heels cannot be worn indoors. We ask guests not to smoke inside please.

Other Information
Craigroyston Lodge has been entered for the Visit Scotland 'Green Tourism' award because of its environmentally-friendly design and construction. The external larch cladding and Douglas Fir ceiling linings are entirely 'locally-sourced' from the Spey Valley; the design maximises natural light and passive solar heat gain; and the use of concrete has been restricted in order to minimise the environmental footprint of the building. Constructed in 2003, the building uses structural insulated panels (SIP) which dramatically increase the thermal efficiency of the building. Indeed it was the first such building to be constructed in the Western Isles.
