Escape to Scotland: Stay at 57 Nord in the Highlands

Situated deep in the Scottish Highlands, just steps from lochs and mountains, 57 Nord comprises two design-led boutique hideaways that blend the region’s Norse-Gael heritage with contemporary Scandinavian influence. The properties combine skilled Scottish craftsmanship, clean modern lines and expansive panoramic views to create a distinctive place to stay.

The two properties, Sky House and the recently opened Hill House, pair luxury amenities with dramatic natural surroundings. Both celebrate slow living, inviting guests to step away from hectic routines, spend time outdoors and reconnect with nature, family and friends while appreciating the quiet pleasures of the Highlands.

Sky House is an intimate retreat designed for two adults. Hill House, which opened most recently, accommodates up to four adults and accepts children aged six and older. Inspired by the historic Scottish shieling—derived from the Old Norse word skjól, meaning shelter—Hill House is a modern interpretation that sits lightly within the landscape. Its generous windows frame uninterrupted views of Loch Duich, Eilean Donan Castle and the Kintail Mountains.

Interiors favor natural materials and an earthy palette to promote calm and restoration. Hill House features a wood-burning stove, an outdoor deck with a firepit, a smart TV, walk-in monsoon showers, and in-room stone bathtubs positioned to take full advantage of the views. Guests enjoy luxury organic toiletries from L:A Bruket and a fully equipped kitchen, plus a separate laundry room. A complimentary welcome hamper showcases local and artisanal products, reflecting the property’s commitment to regional producers and thoughtful hospitality.

Both Sky House and Hill House are designed for low-impact living without sacrificing comfort. Thoughtful details, minimalist Scandinavian furnishings and locally sourced finishes create a warm, considered atmosphere that complements the wild, dramatic scenery. Whether seeking a restorative escape for two or a small family retreat, 57 Nord offers a refined Highland experience focused on nature, design and slow-paced relaxation.
