Reviews consistently mention the lodge being clean and well-kept, with several guests highlighting the property's immaculate condition upon arrival.
The lodge is celebrated for its beautiful, peaceful setting and proximity to Oban. Some guests found it hard to locate initially, but the seclusion is part of the charm for many.
Guests find the lodge comfortable, with special mentions of the cosy beds and the wood burning stove. A few guests noted issues with shower temperature and a desire for additional lighting.
The lodge is well-equipped according to guests, though some reported minor issues with Wi-Fi, TV channels, and a DVD player. The hot tub is frequently appreciated, but suggestions for improvements like a washing machine and better maintenance of facilities are noted.
While guests appreciate the overall experience, there is insufficient information to assess the consistency of thoughtful gestures like gifts. One mention of a gift (wine) was made, but it is not indicative of a regular practice.
