The Brunstane Lodge, or Mid-hope as it was originally called was built in the late 19th century By Mrs Walker and Mr James Binning who were brother and sister. Originally from Keppoch Farm in Strathpeffer they built Mid hope as a boarding house and transported many of Keppoch Farms interesting arcitechtual features to the new building, such as the stained glass windows that can still be seen to this day.

The carvings that still adorn the internal doors within the building were done by a Mrs Elizabeth Bodell who was the daughter of Mrs Walker. A local Painter and building contractor Mr Ken Macleod bought Mid hope in the 1920's and turned the boarding house into a bed and breakfast. He owned the property for 40 plus years and sold it to the Bain family who moved from Edinburgh and it was they who changed the name to the Brunstane Lodge.

Some extensive alterations were made to the property including extensions and modernisations. They owned the building for around ten years before selling it to the Green family who then ran it for some years before selling it to Mary-Anne and Alisdair Mackay. In 1999 Chris Guichot became the Manager and has run it with his business partner Paul Mackay ever since.
