Works to sensitively restore Lochmore Lodge on the Reay Forest Estate to its original design, preserving its heritage while giving the building a new lease of life, began with its modern extensions being dismantled and removed.

Lochmore Lodge, Achfary, will be returned to what is believed to be the original core building, retaining its historic rooms and features, such as its timber panelled double length reception and dining room, which feature a pair of carved chimney pieces.

The property’s original fittings and brassware will be restored and incorporated into the refurbished rooms, where possible.
