    We had a lovely stay at Appletree Lodge this weekend while attending a wedding at Brig o’ Doon. The lodge had everything we needed, was spotless, comfortable, and really well equipped. The hot tub was a fantastic way to spend a relaxing afternoon and was definitely one of the highlights of our stay.A special mention to our hosts, Jim and Diane, who were so lovely and welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed.The location was perfect for the wedding, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. We’d highly recommend Appletree Lodge to anyone looking for a relaxing break. Thank you, Jim and Diane, for a wonderful stay!
