Lovely location, nice cosy space for our family of three. Good kitchen facilities and ideal for our mini adventure in Drumnadrochit. Decor is a wee bit tired in the bedrooms and bathroom but the kitchen is fantastic with the fridge, freezer and induction hob. I was extra prepared and had brought my own tea and coffee but the host had very kindly provided these as well as coffee pods and even had ice in the freezer for us - caramel wafers were very much appreciated! The location is beautiful, quiet and ideal after a long day walking. Access was very easy and allowed us just to get in without any hassle and the heating was on for our arrival. There is ample parking for your car, and my 5 year old was delighted with the mini play area. We recommend this property/location as it was ideal for our budget and our plans for finding Nessie. Not far from the village centre for all the necessities. Thank you for having us.

We had a peaceful stay in this clean and sweet cabin. We took several walks nearby. No need to drive anywhere, just leave the compound and connect to the hill walk or the Great Glen Way. Perfect and helpful hosts! There was plenty of firewood for the wood burning stove. We are looking forward to staying again when we are in Scotland!

Lodge 5 is a compact lodge in a quiet location up a hillside but is in need of refreshing - the bathroom floors are uneven and as a previous guest in lodge 4 noted if you use the WC don't bounce or there is a danger you will follow through! The shower is good but the bathroom is tired-looking, like the whole lodge it could do with a fresh coat of paint and a good clean of the windows. The bedrooms are small - but the beds are very comfortable and the linen clean - The kitchen area is also neat in size - bring a dish towel ! there is no dishwasher .. The log fire is a bonus and very cozy once it’s running - with single glazed windows it is needed for the cool evenings if you are having a night in For 4 adult sized people it’s a compact stay ! you do need a computer skill to tune in the tv and you will not find bbc or bbc news Although there was probably a great view when the lodges were built - due to the growth of the trees there is little view from the lodges now - it is ideally located for access to the great glen way … and there are plenty of hills and walks within an easy drive We enjoyed our stay but it was not the standard we had expected
