Normally, we would not so unabashedly flog a product (or in this case a place) with which we don't have intimate knowledge, but since we can't go, we think one of you should. And no, we are not getting paid to say this.

Alladale is a Wilderness Lodge and Reserve in the Scottish Highlands, one hour north of Inverness - a two-hour flight from London.

It's almost exclusively rented to one group and it looks amazing.

Large, elegant rooms, a roaring fire, miles of wilderness, luxurious soft furnishings, great food, spa treatments and sauna, and a host of activities to keep you and your pals occupied.

Both May bank holiday weekends are currently available, and they're offering four nights for the price of three, bringing the cost to £1520/night (instead of £2000).

Get all 15 friends, and that's £95/night each, with full board and the following included:

• 4x4 safaris
• Clay pigeon (or target) shooting
• Pony trekking
• Trout fishing
• Mountain biking

Plus there's a staff of 14, a full gym, games room and relaxing drawing room - all to ensure that you and your friends have a most excellent party.


If one of you smart readers is motivated enough to get it together and go, please let us know.

We want to know if it's as fab as it looks!
