Traditional walked up grouse shooting over pointers is then available from 12 August on over 60,000 acres of moorland which means throughout the season guests will always be shooting on fresh ground. We also have two excellent flight ponds for guests use from 1st September.
We put down 200 ducks and also attract a large number of wild duck. In addition a modern speedboat is included in the let for guests to be taken out either sea fishing or to enjoy the wildlife.

Hospitality
The Lodge sits on its own 500 acre farm, 1 mile off the main road and is in a totally unspoilt location. The Lodge consists of 7 double bedrooms, 3 with king size beds, together with a large sitting room, conservatory and dining room all of which enjoy panoramic views over the sea loch.
Guests would be looked after by our Housekeeper Mairi Macleod and her team, who provide a cooked breakfast, packed lunch, afternoon tea and three-course evening meal. We serve fresh lobster one night a week. The Lodge has been upgraded to a very high standard and once guests have the minimum number for a party, any additional friends, up to a maximum group of 14, can join for £950 each.
Guests would be responsible for bringing their own drinks for the week.
Topography
Our Lodge is located approximately 12 miles south of Stornoway, on the East coast of the Isle of Lewis, 1 mile off the main A859 just before it enters the village of Balallan. In order to get to Lewis, which is the most Northerly island of the Outer Hebrides, you can get a ferry from Ullapool to Stornoway or cross from Syke to Tarbert in Harris. Alternatively, a large airport at Stornoway has good flight connections from Glasgow, Edinburgh or Inverness, with a number of onward flights to London and Manchester. We have links with an excellent car hire company on the Island.
About the hosts
Guests are looked after on the estate by our Head Keeper Malcolm McPhail along with two Under Keepers, Paddy and Jay. Two Agacats are available to help guests. Guests would make up their own party of a minimum of 6 or 8 friends and then stay exclusively in Soval Lodge which is located in a lovely position overlooking Loch Erisort and the Harris Hills beyond.
If you would like to take a hold on a week for up to 10 days on a gentleman’s agreement while you put a party together, then this can be easily arranged. Please enquire for more information.
