A beautiful Lodge in a stunning location with breathtaking views towards Ben Nevis. It was perfect for our Family including two Dogs, who loved the location & layout of the Lodge.

We would all love to return one day, maybe in the Summer months to explore the area further. Hide

Our stay was wonderful. Certain areas of cleanliness require more thorough attention but immediate amenities such as bedding, towels, living space and dining room were spotless. The location is marvellous. Beware if you have dogs though as there is a random yet placid golden retriever that roams the grounds.

A lovely comfortable property overlooking Ben Nevis. The Christmas tree was a nice touch as was the supply of firewood. Only 1 negative- the controls on one of the ovens had obviously come off at some stage and was replaced incorrectly. Messed up our timings for Christmas dinner - we got there eventually!
