Reay Forest, extending to some 96,000 acres is situated in north west Sutherland amongst some of the most imposing landscapes Europe has to offer with the well known peaks of Arkle, Ben Stack and the southern slopes of Foinaven all within the estate boundary. With its attentive stalkers, ghillies and housekeepers, Reay Forest is run as a traditional Highland sporting estate offering the highest levels of sport, accommodation and service to its guests.
Accommodation
There is a choice of two lodges, both situated within easy reach of both river and loch, offering comfortable accommodation and including the services of a housekeeper and cook. Both Lodges benefit from effective drying rooms, free highspeed, broadband wireless internet connections and iPod docking stations, and have been refurbished for 2010.
The Old Laundry at Achfary, sleeps 9 and the accommodation includes sitting room, dining room, study, one double bedroom, three twin bedrooms which convert to doubles, one single bedroom, four bathrooms and two separate w.c.s. The Old Laundry annexe is available as overflow accommodation for the Old Laundry at extra cost and sleeps 4 in one double bedroom and two single bedrooms.
Stack Lodge on the shores of Loch Stack, sleeps 14, and the accommodation includes sitting room, dining room, study, five doubles, one twin bedroom, one single bedroom, kitchen and six bathrooms.
Sport
In addition to the salmon and sea trout fishings on Lochs Stack and More, the myriad hill lochs on the estate provide hours of entertainment and exercise, and the estate can provide access to some of its remoter lochs by argocat if required. Fishing on the River Laxford may be available by separate arrangement.
Sea fishing or sightseeing trips can be arranged in the estate's own sea boats at extra cost, or for those just wanting exercise there are several Munros to climb or deserted beaches to stroll along all within easy driving distance of the estate lodges.
Six stalking beats, two of which are accessed by boat, provide quite possibly some of the finest stalking in north west Scotland amid spectacular rugged scenery to suit varying levels of fitness. For those seeking traditional Highland stalking at its finest, Highland ponies are used on some of the beats and argocats on others dependant upon the location. Five rifles are available to let with the sporting lodges.
