The Wooden House was built of logs in the 1890's to a Norwegian design and completely panelled inside with pine which still looks as fresh as the day it was put in.

It is a warm, inviting place to stay, very comfortable with central heating, new electrics and kitchen. All the old details are original, including many old poker-work drawings on the walls of highland games, birds and animals.

The outlook from the house is over the lawns and towards a large walled garden. The house and policies are almost surrounded by the river in a spectacular gorge. There are miles of river walks, the opportunity for salmon fishing, a secluded hill loch with a wooden rowing boat for trout fishing, and even a squash court. Roe stalking and rough shooting can also be arranged in season.

The accomodation is all on one floor.

There is an Entrance Hall with plenty of space for coats, boots and outdoor equipment.
