Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews consistently mention the lodge being immaculately clean, suggesting a very high standard of cleanliness that contributes significantly to the comfort and enjoyment of guests' stays.
The lodge's location is frequently described as beautiful, peaceful, and idyllic, with an abundance of wildlife and scenic views. Its proximity to local attractions and the town of Aberfeldy adds to its appeal.
The majority of guests find the lodge comfortable, noting the luxury of en-suite bathrooms and underfloor heating. However, a few guests mention the beds being on the hard side, which slightly impacts the score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the lodge being well-equipped for a holiday stay. Some minor maintenance issues and suggestions for additional items are noted, but these do not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback.
While guests express gratitude for the helpfulness of the owners and the overall comfort provided by the lodge, there is no specific mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.
About this property
Nestled in the hills between Tummel Bridge and Aberfeldy on the road to Schiehallion you will find Glengoulandie Country Lodges. The lodge is set within a group of privately-owned lodges in the Glengoulandie Country Park in a quiet rural location. This is Outlander country; the location was often used when filming the famous TV Series. The red deer roam freely down to the lodge. The comfortable log cabin style lodge is spacious and accommodating with fantastic views out towards the loch and the hills. It is set in a quiet corner of the park with a small burn running alongside. Beautifully furnished throughout, to provide contemporary accommodation, this is the ideal location for a family of six or group of friends wanting to enjoy a holiday together and experience the beauty of the central highlands. Through the front door you will step into a large welcoming entrance hall where you can leave your outdoor clothes before entering the large open-plan living area. With high wooden ceilings large windows and patio doors, this is a light room with all the characteristics of a stylish lodge. You will find comfy sofas for relaxing at the end of a busy day, a dining table to enjoy a meal with family or friends, a breakfast bar around the well-equipped fitted kitchen area. There are patio doors that open out onto a decked area overlooking the small loch and hillside. The ideal place to enjoy morning coffee or watch the sun set behind the hills with a glass of wine on a warm evening. The accommodation is all on one level with plenty of room for everyone. There are three bedrooms all with access to a bathroom. Glengoulandie is situated on a single-track road with passing places between Tummel Bridge and Aberfeldy. Looking out towards the mountain Dun Beag where the deer graze on the hillside near to the lodge. Drive into the market town of Aberfeldy where you will discover, Dewar’s Distillery, The Watermill bookshop, The Birks Cinema, a 9 hole golf course and the famous waterfall walk “The Birks of Aberfeldy”. Close by visit Weem Castle, take a Highland Safari on land or loch to discover native wildlife, visit the red deer, pan for gold or step back in time at the Crannog Centre. Or just sit back and relax, soak up the magnificent scenery while watching the red deer, red squirrels, birds of prey and an abundance of wildlife literally on your doorstep. This is a wonderful lodge to be enjoyed any time of the year. EPC Rating: Band D
Aberfeldy is just south of Glen Lyon, known as the longest, loneliest, and glen in Scotland. There is much to attract the visitor in addition to the scenery. There is a 10 mile riverside walk for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as numerous paths through forest and countryside. In addition, Aberfeldy is on the Rob Roy Way and Cycle Route 7. The Scottish Crannog Centre offers a glimpse into Iron Age life and Loch Tay offers a multitude of watersports, while Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park are on your doorstep.

It offers excellent value for money in a stunning location with many places of interest close by. The lodge itself is very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The wildlife on the loch and the deer in the field next door are a constant source of interest. Looking forward to our next stay in June.

It is even better than the photos on the website. We have stayed in many properties with Sykes over the years and this comes out at the top of our list. It is everything you could wish for. Comfortable, well equipped, spotlessly clean and in beautiful surroundings. The swans and ducks, even spotted a mandarin duck, on the lake were a delight to watch especially when the ice and snow was on the lake. Its clear why guests return time and again. We would love to stay again. Thank you, Andrew and Elizabeth, for sharing this beautiful place.
