Frequently asked questions

Our capacity is 18 guests, though there may also be provision for extra rooms for travelling staff.

We would be delighted to curate a bespoke offering for you based on your party and interests. This includes arranging activities and staffing requirements for the duration of your stay, understanding your food and beverage preferences, recommendations for private chefs on and off the Isle of Lewis and understanding any personal requests. We also have additional accommodation options for those travelling with their own staff. The SCALISCRO team are here to provide a very tailored stay for you and your guests, so please get in touch on enquiries@scaliscro.com. 

Our standard offering includes a housekeeper, the estate head keeper and his assistant. We can also arrange for a private chef.

Yes, our lodge is very family-friendly and designed to be welcoming and comfortable for every age. We can provide child-friendly amenities such as high-chairs and cots. We also have a games room to keep kids of all ages entertained.

Dogs are very welcome to stay, but not in the house. We have kennels available outside.

Although we strive to accommodate everyone, due to the rugged terrain of our setting and the location of all rooms of the first floor, with stair-only access, the lodge and surroundings may not be suitable for those guests with reduced or limited mobility. If you have any questions about specific requirements, please contact us directly.

Our basic package includes breakfast, lunch, dinner for up to 18 guests and a sample menu is available upon request. All culinary preferences can be catered for and upgraded packages are also available. Please enquire for more information. 

We always recommend packing wet weather gear and sensible outdoor footwear. However, the extensive list of supplies and clothing already available at the lodge includes wellies, fishing waders, dry shoes, dry robes, dressing gowns, wetsuits, baseball caps, shooting jackets, cartridge belts and bags, guns and cartridges.

Please don’t wear outside shoes in the house, we want to preserve our beautiful bespoke rugs! We have a boot room and comfortable slippers available for guests. The interior of the property is strictly no-smoking.

SCALISCRO is entirely off-grid and powered by hydro and solar energy supported by battery storage. We’ve been working hard to restore peatland across the estate and implemented various woodland creation measures. Future plans include the restoration of local salmon habitats.

The property is fitted with Starlink Wi-Fi throughout.
