Fantastic holiday! Weather was great. Views terrific. Lodge was very comfortable with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. You can spend all day taking in the views and fresh air. Sam the collie absolutely loved his week. Was good to share the lodge with the swifts - so relaxing to watch them. We will be back next year.

I really enjoyed my stay in Pine Lodge. The lodge was clean, comfortable and all that you would want for a pleasant stay, although you'll need to take you own supply of toiletries. The steps up to Pine Lodge would not be suitable for people with mobility issues. The setting is amazing, it is very peaceful and set in beautiful grounds with wonderful views. You will need a car to get to the local shops, restaurants etc. otherwise it is a perfect location for visiting the Highlands. I hope to stay again.
