Lovely peaceful setting and has everything you need. Only minor issues we had was bedroom was lovely but not much room to move and shower was a bit temperamental and was sometimes a problem to regulate but nothing a bit of patience didnt sort. Unfortunately we never got to use the hot tub due to swarms of midges which was just one of them things. Overall if your looking for peace and quiet its great and recommend feeding the birds as there is a bird feeder. Was lovely to watch and had a red squirrel visiting most days. Only 20 minutes from Dunoon and recommend the Lorne for food but its advisable to book a table as was very busy.

This is a beautiful little lodge in a peaceful setting. It is clean and provides everything needed for a stay.The hot tub was perfect.There is so much to do in the surrounding area- be prepared for driving but it is wonderful countryside to drive through.Alternatively you could sit and enjoy the view, go swimming in Loch Eck or walk any of the trials nearby.

The cabin itself was very nice, a little small but good enough for a couple, the jacuzzi is wonderful and the porch is really big but unfortunately for us, we didn't even manage to use it even once due to the number of midges, swarms of them from morning to night, it's not like you can just spray yourself with product and sit there, they are just too many all around for that.. But to be clear that is no fault of the owners, it is just a fact that midges at this time of year love this type of cabin as surrounded by bushes and trees and lots of humidity, perfect for them and horrible to us... The upside were all the beautiful creatures that come onto the porch to feed from the bird feeder, the squirrels were awesome and so athletic..we loved watching them. Also if you run out quickly and get into the jacuzzi the midges will leave you alone as you are mostly submerged so no problem using the spa tub but you have to be quick drying yourself and getting back inside unless you want to become a meal for midges. All and for all we had a great time and dining indoors was not a problem, good comfortable stay... Thanks to John who came very quickly to give us access to shed when we asked.

Location in the Argyll Forest Park is good but the lodge is close (30 metres) to a main road which means there is often traffic noise.
The property was clean and well equiped, but there was a stale smell always present - probably due to the fact they allow pets, so as none pet owners we shouldn't have choosen this one.
A good point is that the decking area was covered which many of the other lodges here were not, but this meant the interior was dark.
