We had a wonderful stay! Surprisingly warm and cosy, very well thought out lodge with everything we needed. Wonderful location too. Caroline welcomed us warmly and left us to it. We enjoyed the two inns in Killin for dinner, the lovely walk along Rob Roy way and the beautiful falls of Dochart. Seeing red squirrels for the first time too! Thank you for a great stay! We will be back!
