Tor Lodge and Cottage were designed by R House, Highland architects known for their striking contemporary houses based on the traditional Scottish blackhouse. The two outstanding properties have been constructed and finished to the very highest specification and attention to detail is evident throughout, from the beautifully proportioned exteriors which sit so comfortably in the landscape to the superb interiors which are at once welcoming, interesting and well thought out. The interior furnishings are of the very best quality and have been chosen both to create outstanding comfort and to complement and contrast with the stunning setting.

Some of the exceptional features of the house include the magnificent open plan living areas which create a wonderful sense of space and fill the houses with natural light; the carefully positioned windows that frame the magnificent views; the beautifully fitted and finished bathrooms and kitchens; and the contemporary furnishings.
