What our customers say about their holidays

• Ian - Verified booking

  The house is in a lovely location, and is full of Victorian (?

  ) period charm. It is very comfortable despite its age, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owner, Hamish, is very helpful and attentive to guests' enjoyment - we appreciated this very much. We did note however that the house does need some maintenance and upgrade - some of the plug sockets (bunk bed room for example) are not properly secured into the wall, constituting a safety issue, and the single shower is not really sufficient for a large party of guests. Having come to the property last year (£2584), this year (£3668), we are having significant reservations about returning next year (£4176) - the approaching 100% price increase within the span of 2 years is way ahead of inflation, and is certainly not being justified by property maintenance and upgrade. Perhaps Sykes' commission is driving these increases? If that is the case, Sykes, please note the drive for increased profits has the potential to alienate customers (!) - remember, we are now very much post-Covid, and perhaps the rush for holidays in Scotland that we saw in '21, '22 is diminishing.

  We had a great week as a large family group (15 of us) celebrating a birthday and exploring the local area and the road to the isles.

  The location is superb and we made the most of the loch and local walks. The house has great character and is extremely well-equipped, especially the kitchen, which was very helpful, as we did a fair bit of cooking. WiFi worked well. We enjoyed the gardens and the great weather even made it possible to swim in the loch. Communication with the owner was excellent. Some constructive feedback would be 1) The top floor bedrooms could do with a refresh. We didn’t want to use them. 2) Time for some new (fluffier!) towels. 3) There was a problem with water pressure in one of the bathrooms, which made the bath unusable. We were able to work around that, but more of an issue was that there was only one shower (NB the listing suggests there are 2. I think.) While the shower did work very well, it’s not really adequate for 15 people. Overall, we were happy with the house and enjoyed everything it had to offer. We would happily book again .

  Fantastic house, warm and cosy with plenty of space for everyone.

  A tiny bit of feedback is that I had asked if there was a dvd player and was told there was, but there isn't! Just so you know if anyone asks you in the future, to save them looking all over the house! It wasn't a problem at all, the kids were happy without watching any films, it was just a bit puzzling as we couldn't find it! No other issues other than that, we had a great week and Mr Macrae couldn't have been more helpful, we had a nice chat on the phone when he called mid-week to check we were getting on ok. Many thanks, Katie LHH response: The owner has now purchased a DVD player for the property.

  Druidaig Lodge is a magnificent Edwardian Hunting Lodge in the most outstanding lochside location.

  We love how the owner has retained the original features of the house but has introduced ample modern features like dishwashers, washing machines etc. The house is really comfortable and there are few better places to unwind for those who like hill walks, fishing or exploring this beautiful part of Scotland. The area teems with wildlife and we saw seals, porpoises and otters from the house. Thank you Hamish and your team for a wonderful holiday.

  This is a beautiful house in a fabulous location, and the people who look after it, mainly Alan, the estate manager, and the lady who cleans the property do a wonderful job.

  The house has everything you could ever need, but the state of the sofas and soft furnishings like cushions really let the house down. The sofas are all torn (I have photos, if you need them), and are so dilapidated that they are just very uncomfortable. Come on, spend a few pounds, and update the soft furnishings to the level if the rest of this lovely property.
