This cosy lodge offers accommodation for four people, an ideal location for a Scottish countryside getaway. Embracing a slightly elevated position, enter this log cabin and be welcomed by the refreshing wood-clad interior.

Step through into the main living area, this compact and cosy room benefits from snug leather seating, a well-equipped kitchen and a social dining table. Just off of the open-plan living room rest the two bedrooms; a double and a twin are finished in a delightful fashion with thoughtful, homely touches. Truly unwind on Eagle Lodge's decked veranda, which looks out towards the engulfing woodland.

It's so peaceful and out of the way but with facilities readily at hand either in Strathpeffer or in Dingwall. Plenty of good walks nearby and wildlife to see (red squirrel and red kite this time) but deer and buzzards etc also. Two things we did notice. Firstly, the fan heater on the wall in the bathroom didn't seem to be working although the light was indicating an electricity supply to it. Secondly as the trees have grown around the lodge there was a lot of interference with the tv, either no signal or a very weak signal which kept dropping out and which was a bit frustrating when trying to watch the football, or even worse for Mrs M trying to watch Strictly. The satellite dish may need repositioning or replacing.
