Beautiful
A beautiful, quintessential Scottish room. Incredibly comfortable bed and a nice selection of light breakfasts and hot drinks. Really helpful having a dishwasher there too! Lovely views and walks nearby. Would definitely return.

We arrived within the set arrival time but found it locked. Eventually found someone and got in. We weren't given the room we booked, no full breakfast as booked and the accompanying cafe /bar was closed. There is no Loch view from anywhere (even though paid for this).

We had a lovely stay, the food was fantastic, the area gorgeous and dog friendly. The loch is right across the road so we had an afternoon dip and there was space for our dog to freely roam. The evening platters were lovely and there was a vegan option for my partner with plenty on the meat platter for me. The were very helpful, accomodating and we will definitely be back again.

Poor communication from the owner - The property said it accepted dogs but you were to inform them prior to arrival - No response from owner on the subject. To simply get in requires climbing of some very steep steps to first floor that was not mentioned on webpage - no good for mobility problems. We stayed in the stag room which although clean with a good choice of tea and coffee was very very small - no where to hand clothes, no chair. We booked Bed and Breakfast only to arrive at the time we said to no welcoming, only a piece of paper on a door with instructions stating the booking was for room only and we had to leave for 9.30am. Again on the booking it said to depart by 11am. Despite no breakfast being offered the welcome paper said there was a self service area stocked with complimentary breakfast items - carton of fruit juice, toffee yoghurts, drinks, milk butter (spread). However the bread was mouldy. the milk was sour, the coffee machine did not work. We could find no spoons to eat the cereal with and no jam/ marmalade for the bread. No signs of owner on departing either. We were very disappointed and will certainly not be visiting again

Fantastic place!
Didn’t have high expectations due to the low price. The accommodation was lovely and had everything we needed. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The bonus was that below us there was a lovely cafe and bar with great food. Will definitely visit again.

Little Gem of a Place
We really enjoyed our stay, this place is lovely and we even got to take our dog who was extremely welcome. We couldn’t get a hot breakfast unfortunately due to not being available during our stay which was disappointing but the kids were so happy there was Coco Pops so all was good, and the self serve breakfast and lounge was a nice touch. Highly recommend and the hosts are lovely

Enjoyable stay in the Lodge
We stayed in the cosy double - and it is cosy but it was also comfortable and clean. The shower was great. A few changes have taken place since some of the previous reviews and breakfast is now self service in the guest kitchenette off the lounge (cereal, toast, fruit, tea and coffee). We liked eating in the Wee Bear Cafe beside the Lodge (and meeting Bear). Delicious coffee and cake! Gareth was friendly and helpful. An enjoyable short stay in a tranquil setting.

Pleasant room
Pleasant room in a quiet location. There needs to be a blind on the velux window as we had to buy bin liner and sellotape to block out the light at night. Note that breakfast now involves making your own cereal and toast in a kitchen along with other guests.

Great friendly lodge.
Superb place to stay. The owners Anne and Gareth really look after their guests. They also run a very successful cafe with delicious home baking. We were upgraded to a larger room. Very comfortable. Anne looked after our needs by leaving out plates, glasses and cutlery and giving us a microwave. We had been travelling around a lot, and were looking forward to a break from eating out. The shared kitchen had to be closed due to Covid 19. Breakfasts were excellent. The area is really interesting and has a large amount of wildlife. Thanks for a great stay and hope to be back one day.

The lodge is a fantastic place to stay. The owners are friendly. The room, and especially the bed, was very comfortable. There is a wonderful guest lounge with huge comfy sofas and chairs. Breakfast was excellent. If you want to chill out, go for lovely walks, watch a variety of wild life (the only noise is the geese on the loch) I couldn’t think of anywhere better place to base yourself than the Lodge at Lochside. (There is even a very cheeky red squirrel who is happy to entertain you while you eat your breakfast).
