Situated on 23,000 acres of wild, highland terrain, the main house of Alladale offers the perfect base for lovers of unspoiled wilderness.
There are three well-appointed houses on the reserve offering fully catered accommodation on an exclusive basis. These include the sizeable Main Lodge, as well as the slightly smaller Eagle’s Crag and Ghillie’s Rest.
The reserve is owned by conservationist and champion of re-wilding, Paul Lister. Since he has owned the reserve, 900,000 trees have been planted and red squirrels have been successfully reintroduced. These projects have made huge strides in restoring the reserve to its natural habitat, especially with the re-establishing of native woodlands. But Lister is keen to go one step further. He has plans to re-introduce wolves and bears to Alladale – an ambitious and controversial project that will likely take many years to be realised.
Alladale offers a year-round, quintessential Scottish highland experience. The location is straight from Monarch of the Glen, the activities on offer are fun and invigorating and the service is warm and devoid of pretension. An exceptional base for a holiday in the Scottish highlands. Did we mention the food? We guarantee you’ll want to take the chef home with you.
3 houses are available on Alladale Wilderness Reserve, for private, exclusive use rental.
Take guided walks, go fishing, jump on a mountain bike or take a 4×4 safaris of the reserve. If you take pleasure from wildlife and wild places then you’ll probably not want to leave the reserve however, should you wish to explore further afield, there is plenty to do. Travel to the UK’s most northerly point, John O’Groats, play a round of golf on a nearby golf course or visit Dornoch Castle Hotel whisky shop for a private, guided tasting of the finest scotch that money can buy.
In the heart of the Highlands, roughly one-and-a-half hours, north west of Inverness. Picture the Scottish highlands in your mind’s eye and Alladale Wilderness Reserve is the image you’re likely to conjure up.

What really separated Steppes from the rest of the pack was their willingness to work so patiently and with such an open mind with my rather specific desires.

I was thoroughly and consistently impressed with the Steppes home office--amazing attention to detail, follow-up, patience with my endless demands and tweaking of the schedule. The team were superb with everything they did for me. I am so very pleased with their efforts and results; they have won me over to Steppes for life!
