Murlin Lodge is situated in absolutely amazing surroundings. The lodge is very well cared for, equipped well for guests and pets and was a dream to stay in. We visited 30th October for a week, we had thick fog for 4 days which made driving hazardous so we spent plenty of quality family time staying local. It's now January and I've been putting off writing the review as it's so hard to put into words how fantastic Murlin Lodge is. Our stay at the lodge was simply wonderful and we thank you for sharing your property. Thank you also to Mr A Donald, you're a star!
