Well presented caravan that was exactly as described. Please note as this is a pet friendly place there was a lot of dog hair that transferred from the couch onto our clothes but appreciate this is hard to remove from furniture. The caravan was otherwise very clean. Location is within a walking distance of Clava Cairns and only a 20min drive from Invernes. Neil who manages the caravan was also very responsive to our queries. I would easily recommend a stay at this caravan if you are looking for somewhere private and quiet but still close enough to drive to tourist areas around Culloden, Invernes and Loch Nes.

The accommodation was set in the Highlands next to a working farm, offering a peaceful escape away from the city exactly what we were looking for to fully experience the Highlands. It had everything we needed, and was both comfortable and warm. We would happily stay again next Easter holidays. The kids absolutely loved it.

A lovely holiday destination. Lodge has everything you could require, fantastic views and quiet surroundings too. We had quiet and interesting walks. Was perfect for visiting many beautiful places during our stay, blessed with 7 days of lovely weather also. Loved Inverness, Nairn, Drumnadrochit, Fort George and, of course, Loch Ness. Will be visiting again and would highly recommend staying at Ballagan Lodge
