As you said, "this is the end" in the title I'm thinking maybe John O' Groats or Land's End.

It's tucked away near Glencoe, just off the A82 - absolutely bl**dy gorgeous it is too!

Here's how to get to it (https://www.motogoloco.com/map?route=45)

the actual lodge/house was in surrey... Still awesome scenery though! :D

"The lodge set was custom built for the film on Hankley Common near Elstead in Surrey, England. The land is owned by the British Ministry of Defense."

That explains why they were allowed to blow it up.

They could have made it more spectacular by moving it to Stevenage then!

Read my mind Mr Xpress...

It's not a great road (surface-wise, it's a bit scrabbly) down to here, and it's a dead end, but the view's are magnifique and well, just LOOK at it!!?

I recognised it straight away, Glen Etive scene of many an epic kayak trip. Last time I boated there we evacuated the river after it rose 2 meters in 30 minutes! We only lost some paddles that day...
