Best place ever been
Lorie Jane (United Kingdom)

I love everything in the lodge, it was a lovely place to stay, calm, quiet and all you can hear are the birds singing and lake flowing. I felt like I want to stay on that place forever. It was just so perfect.

Decor is looking a bit tired but I know they're in the process of updating - absolutely didn't affect our stay.

Bigger play area
Lodges are a bit tired, but I know there is plan for these and the double room was very tight!
Could also do with some black out curtains for the light mornings!

We loved the fact that we felt as if we were in a remote, peaceful and quiet location but only a short drive away from shop, restaurants and Loch Ness. Perfect if you want to get away from the rat race. Very clean, comfortable lodge. Wood burning stove kept the lodge nice and cosy. Plenty of walks for the dogs nearby. The dogs enjoyed the doggy box of goodies. Staff very friendly.
