    But i had no hot water the whole time i was there?Although there was a hot shower, so ok. The dishwasher was also waiting for a part so had to wash dishes with water boiled in kettle, no big deal as i was on my own. The TV signal wasn't great, but ok as not there to really watch TV, just annoying . I know most people go to escape modern life but nowaday it is difficult to not have to access the internet now and again so Wifi would be a good addition. Disappointed the bike shop is shutdown. I did like the Fair trade gift shop at the old station. I had an amazing holiday at the lodge love the feeling of being inside the forest and very peaceful. I had all the things i needed for a lovely stay as it is very well equipped. Its a great wee place. The signage for parking place could stand out a bit better its a bit weathered now. But all in all i loved Otter Lodge

    Excellent views and great position. Very clean and cosy. We had a great time doing the woodland walks with the dogs.

    There were a couple of maintenance issues... the toilet seat and sink were both loose, and there were mouse droppings in the cupboard under the sink. We enjoyed our two week stay in Sept 2023, but a couple of things which would have helped us are: - Check out time - 9am is VERY early. We ended up leaving a day early because of this. - No WiFi - in this day and age it caused us problems and we ended up having to drive to Tesco in Dingwall to use their WiFi to do basics like online banking.
