We arrived at West Lodge on the Penninghame estate late in the evening after a long day of travel and it immediately felt like a relaxing place to be. It was equipped with everything that we would need and the rooms were all different and comfortable. Waking up the following morning in the wonderful grounds of the estate was a real pleasure and the whole family felt at ease and ready to have a real holiday. The layout of the lodge allowed for us all to get together when we wanted to but also allowed for people to have their own space without making others uncomfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to use without being cluttered with devices that we could not work out how to use. Very little went wrong while we were staying at the lodge but when we needed something to be changed the staff (who were all friendly and helpful) on the estate reacted almost immediately and without making a big thing out of it. Penninghame is a lovely place to be with its grounds and access to the forest for walking and cycling and it is in a part of Scotland where the scenery is breath-taking and the people are just so friendly. Our overall opinion at the end of the holiday was that we could not wait to come back again.

The house was excellent, clean and with excellent furnishings. What I also REALLY appreciated was coming from overseas and then after driving a long way, there were food basics provided. Tea coffee milk bread and even some biscuits to get you started without having to rush to the shops.
