A delightful holiday property in an amazing location. We even saw the top of Ben Nevis from our bedroom window. Very tranquil and peaceful. Very clean, finished to a very high standard. The host was very welcoming and helpful and communication prior to arrival was very good.

Thank you for your lovely review, we are pleased you and your family enjoyed your stay at our lodge.
We had a wonderful stay at the Burnside Lodge. It was extremely clean, well kept, and equipped with everything you may need. Beds were comfortable, and the river that runs in front of the front door was a joy to listen to. You’ll want to stay beyond your booking.

Thank you Kristin for your lovely review. I am glad we contributed well to your Scottish holiday.
This lovely cottage was well equipped and beautifully maintained. There was plenty of room for our family of four and it was quiet and comfortable. Small deck overlooking stream. Lynore was on-site if required (but not intrusive). A short drive into Fort William and easy shopping and dining options. Would definitely stay again.

Fantastische, luxe "Blokhut" met alles er op en er aan!
Nog nooit zo'n goed verzorgde Lodge gezien. Alles is perfect geordend en je grijpt nooit mis, alles wat je zou willen hebben is er. Een riviertje voor de deur en uitzicht op de Ben Nevis.
