Alladale Wilderness Reserve
NEWSLETTER: FEBRUARY/MARCH 2010
Spring's on the way, so why not take advantage of our Easter offer: stay in the Alladale Lodge on a room-by-room basis

From 1st-10th April, we've got a real treat for you: stay in the Alladale Lodge on a room-by-room basis for £250 per night for one or two people sharing. We are offering a unique opportunity to discover Alladale this Spring as we open our doors to those wishing to book one or two rooms rather than the whole Lodge exclusively. You'll be able to make the most of our fully equipped gym, sauna, full-size snooker table, drawing room with a bar and roaring fire. Of course, all meals are included in the price, and when you're not indulging in all the comforts of the Lodge, step out into the wilderness and enjoy all the Springtime activities available on the reserve: pony trekking*, beauty treatments*, fly fishing, mountain biking, clay pigeon shooting* or hiking.

Don't delay - this is a strictly first-come, first-served offer, so call Georgia now on +44 (0)1863 755 338 for more details. *Subject to additional charge.

Valentine's Day has been and gone, but our 3 for 2 offer is still going strong! Alladale's partnerships with Musto and Orvis, leading outdoor suppliers Paul's trip to the future Patagonia National Park in southern Chile
Valid until 31st March, there's still time to take advantage of three nights for the price of two in any of our fantastic Lodges: the Alladale Lodge, Eagle's Crag or Ghillie's Rest. The price is just as good as when we introduced this offer at the beginning of January - in Ghillie's Rest guests can stay for as little as £80 per night, with our 'Crofter's Kitchen Service': freshly cooked meals prepared by our resident chef, brought to you ready for the oven. There's no better gift for Mother's Day, so why not treat your mum to a short break in the Highlands? Call Georgia on +44 (0)1863 755 338 or visit www.alladale.com for more details or to book.
We're delighted to announce that Alladale has formed a partnership with Musto, the world's leading country sports and sailing clothing brand. This exciting development follows Alladale's endorsement by Orvis, the premium fly fishing retailer and outfitter. Alladale is the first Musto-endorsed property in Scotland, joining an elite group of conservation oriented sporting destinations around the world. Products from the Musto and Orvis ranges are available at the Alladale Country Store and Café in Ardgay, so do pop in and say 'hello' whilst enjoying one of our home-made pies or cakes, and take a look.

In December, Paul Lister and Hugh Fullerton-Smith, director of The European Nature Trust, travelled to Chile to learn more about the important conservation work of Doug and Kris Tompkins. Our vision for landscape restoration at Alladale is by no means unique, and for this reason it's extremely relevant to 'check in' with other, more established, global projects for guidance and ideas. During the trip Paul and Hugh were particularly inspired by the astounding changes that are taking place in establishing the future 'Patagonia National Park'.
