Cairn View is a real home from home. We have stayed here a number of times when visiting family. The views are spectacular, it’s in a quiet secluded location. Although there are 2 other lodges you are far enough away that you feel you’re on your own in the middle of the woods. The facilities are fantastic. Yvonne and Cameron have thought of everything. Although kitchen is small it is very well equipped, even having an air fryer. Beds are comfy, we even had brand new towels. You cannot go wrong with this place!

The lodge is set in a lovely peaceful location and not overlooked. It was very clean but the numerous bossy notes from the owners were very off putting. Also the wifi was dreadful because it was shared with the other lodges and came up on my phone as “unsecured” and was unable to stream anything. The living area was adequate for 2 adults but would have been cramped for 6. The kitchen area had very little preparation space and was not a good design. Despite all this it was a clean cosy and comfortable lodge
