Ruddyglow Park Country House online: information and bookings
When did you last sit and watch a sun set? It's a serious question. When did you last sit for an hour and gaze at the sun as it sets. And watch for the tiny flashes of green light that leap from the golden orbe in it's dying seconds?
Here in Assynt we find that we often watch the sun set over the Loch that sits at our door step. There's not a lot that happens here. Oh the Macleods built the now ruined castle by the Loch in around fourteen ninety but since then it's been pretty quiet. If they came back now they would find that nothing much had changed. The deer still come down to drink at the Lochside in the evening. The swans still drift in off to Iceland in the Spring. The oyster catchers still welcome the dawn with a tiny, shrill cry. The Gaelic people have this theory about the dawn. Just as there are flashes of green when the sun sinks, so there is a flash of magic when the sun rises. They call it the dream moment. It's the moment when all the dreams go into the heads of all the sleeping children. The gannets falling down the back of the wind do not have to move their wings at that moment. The new born lamb is as still as marble. And the seal turning in the wave pauses. Come and experience your own sunsets, and sun rises. Again. Maybe you too will have a dream moment.
Ruddyglow Park is a small boutique country house, nestled between the foothills of Quinag and the edge of Loch Assynt in the beautiful North-West Highlands of Scotland. We offer outstanding personal service and luxurious accommodation all set against a backdrop of lovely antique furniture, original paintings and individually designed rooms. A much loved 4 acre garden, full of well established trees and shrubs, surrounds the house giving a feel of extreme privacy but also incredible space, peace and tranquillity. For our sporting guests a drying room, rod room, secure gun cabinet, and freezer are available.
In keeping with the settings, dinner, which must be booked in advance, is not a fancy picture on a plate. It’s fresh, homemade, local and or home grown and virtually all organic. Maybe a bit old fashioned but very yummy. We can also provide for special diets if given enough warning.
Our goal is to make your stay a life-lasting experience.
