Our second time here. Clean, comfortable lodge on the Loch. The road is noisy in the daytime but as we were out, it didnt bother us. Walks from the doorstep, lots of wildlife and great coffee shops. Also lovely to have a local parkrun. We had one problem with one of the beds , but it was sorted straight away.We will be back.

Wonderful accommodation in a beautiful location. The hosts on site were lovely and very helpful. We would definitely return in the future because there is so much to do and see in the area. The utility room was very useful to store our walking stuff and dry off boots and coats.
