This is a wonderful cabin in a wonderful, peaceful spot. Ideal place to discover the Glenkens, but also the wider region. Small shops not too far, beautiful walks a few miles away and lovely host Merle made this a wonderful stay. Would really recommend staying - cleanliness, comfort, all was spot on.

We had a fantastic time at Glenkens Lodge! The cabin is perfect for a relaxing getaway, it has everything you could need and Merle was great. The lemon drizzle cake was also much appreciated! We plan to stay again as soon as we can!
