Otter Lodge

Excellent, relaxing property, in a wonderful location.

Pros: Fantastic location in woods, very peaceful, well located for the Highlands. Clean and well equipped. Overlooks Blackmuir woods with access straight onto public footpaths.

Cons: Bed slightly uncomfortable, but not a huge issue. No internet but phone data is fine in the property.

Excellent value for money.

Pros: The location was wonderful both in terms of the forest setting and nearby eating places. Dingwall was easy to get to too. The location is also an extremely good location to bag a hat full of Munroes which is why we stayed there. When we are back in the area this is where we will be staying. There is everything you need for self catering and the beds were super comfortable. My mate said it’s the best night sleep he has had away from home ! The utility room was a real bonus and the cabin is easy to keep warm and cosy.

Cons: The shower lacked water pressure/flow of water which wasn’t a problem but a good shower is nice at the end of a hard day in the hill.

North

Pros: The location of the holiday home in the forest, far from civilization, delighted me. The house contains everything you need in the kitchen, bathroom, rooms. A large terrace allows you to enjoy your morning coffee with the chirping of birds. A large selection of hiking trails around the accommodation.

Cons: Information on how to enter the accommodation unit should be provided at least that morning. The cottage was open but difficult to get to at night. There are no directions from the main road or on the field path leading to it. This could be improved or at least get detailed directions via email, booking.com. At least one double bed should have 2 duvets. It's not just couples who travel and often don't want to share a duvet.

Pros: A fantastic location, lovely cabin in the woods. Very well equipped, cosy and warm. Very quiet. We had a wonderful stay.

Cons: Instructions for finding the lodge could be improved. Park at the second small car park on the right up the hill from the Blackmuir Woods car park, after the wood carvings. There is a small sign tucked away for Otter and Eagle lodge parking, but very easy to miss and set off up the dirt track.

Excellent place! The pictures do not show how special it is!

Pros: The cottage had an excellent location - although it wasn't clear where it was at first. We loved the back deck overlooking the woods. It was well equipped and especially clean.

Cons: The directions for getting to the property needs some serious updating. It was not easy to figure out. We would have liked to stay at least three nights!

Pros: Lovely lodge , nice decor , comfy beds, perfect location

Cons: only downfall was the hot water from taps , I couldn’t run a bath after a long day hiking

Pros: It's actually nicer inside than the photo. Very well equipped lots of towels and bedding etc. Very peaceful sitting outside

Stunning lodge

Pros: The view and tranquility of the lodge was perfect with wildlife just passing along in front as we sipped our coffee in the morning.

Cons: Bed was not to our liking it was a bit soft for us, and the shower was not really up to standard although there was a bath.

Comfy woodland hideaway

Pros: Fab location tucked away in the woods. Simple and clean property for a getaway. Easy to get into the village for provisions and eat/drink.

Cons: No wifi

Pros: Tolle, ruhige Lage mitten im Wald. Gute Ausstattung, alles, was man benötigt, inkl. Waschmaschine. Fantastische Gegend. Guter Ausgangspunkt, um die Nordwest-Highlands zu erkunden. Auch kleinere Highlights in der nähren Umgebung. Infomateriel in der Lodge zu finden.

Cons: Aufgrund der schönen Waldlage recht dunkel. Bad recht einfach ausgestattet.
