A perfect stay. Our dog loved exploring the gardens and had a wonderful holiday too. A lovely setting on the loch. We really enjoyed the hot tub and sauna as the weather was cold. Mark the host was very helpful before we arrived with suggestions of things to do. We hope to return.

Best holiday yet! We had the most relaxing week here with our dog. I loved watching the bats at dusk, the hot tub and not having to go looking for places to walk the dog. The dog loved the access to the loch, the grounds and just sniffing about all day. The fire pit was also amazing and enjoyed by my OH. Pitlochry is a short drive away and had everything we wanted. Would love to go back

A lovely cosy and comfy lodge located in such a stunning, tranquil setting - the grounds are beautiful with your own access to the loch, and the outdoor sauna and hot tub were great fun. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay (our dog also had the best time), and hope to be back soon.
