Hotel next door was very friendly and did lovely food. Log burner and hot tub lovely after a day exploring. Bed was excellent and very comfortable too . We are already planning to return next year . Thank you for a lovely week , our wee frenchie loved it too."

"I cant rate this secluded beauty in the Highlands enough. We stayed in Otter Lodge which was secluded & peaceful. Decorated really nicely, a lot of thought has gone in to the fixtures & fittings, I loved everything about it with a comfy bed , settee & hot tub to relax. Welcome pack of shortbread, tea, coffee, honey & whiskey was a lovely touch to greet you on the table. The wildlife is amazing from your window & balcony with deer, red squirrels & birds. Fresh eggs available at honesty box & fish van calls once a week. Local pub serve nice meals 5 minutes from entrance.. We have stayed in 7 places to date & this is our favourite by far, 100% returning."

"The perfect location for relaxing highland getaway. We stayed with two kids and a dog in a riverside lodge, and the sound of the river outside was lovely. It was the perfect size for us. The outside veranda was perfect for eating or relaxing while watching the birds in the trees - which you could also do from inside with the enormous floor to ceiling window in the living area. The hot tub was the perfect size for the four of us. The owners were onsite in reception every day, if you needed anything. We arrived just after Storm Floris, so there was no electricity for the first night, but candlelight and the log fire just added to the adventure. The owners provided us with extra logs for the wood burner and there was a gas hob in the kitchen so we could still cook and make cups of tea (very important!). Just as the kids were starting to panic the next day without chargers and WiFi the electricity was restored, but secretly I think they also enjoyed the fun of a technology-free candlelight nights in the woods. The thing I loved most about our riverside lodge was the feeling you were the only people in the middle of nowhere. From the big living room window and veranda, you couldnt see any other lodges so there was complete privacy. I would love to return again."

"Ive been back twice now with my partner and will certainly plan a third stay in the future. We love how cosy it feels, like a real escape, with gorgeous scenery on the doorstep. Perfect days spent going for a walk (there are so many), spotting wildlife and having a picnic, coming back to the hot tub and a very cosy cabin. Ideal for us."

"We had such a great time! The lodge by the river was perfect-serene and stunning. Everything we needed was there, plus a lovely welcome pack. Relaxing in the hot tub with that view was definitely the cherry on top. Can't wait to return; it was just what we needed for some proper R&R!"
Emma - Mar 2025
"An absolutely amazing place to stay. Our lodge was right in the riverside. Beautiful views and so peaceful. The lodge is full of everything you would need including a lovely welcome pack. Sitting in the hot tub overlooking the river will be the highlight of our stay. We are already looking forward to going back."

"Overall, we had a good stay. The lodge was quite clean, though a few areas showed signs of wear. Its a bit tired and could do with some fresh paint and varnish, but nothing major. Nice enough!"
James - Nov 2024
"The lodge was mostly spotless but we did notice a couple of weak points. Nothing awful though.The lodge itself is looking a little tired and would definitely benefit from a bit of varnish and paint."

"We had such a cosy stay here! The location is stunning, especially the drive to Fort Augustus - really breathtaking scenery. The lodge might be a bit on the small side compared to others, but the beds were super comfy and we appreciated the extra touches like the bed linen, towels and kitchen supplies. Its rare to find a place with everything from washing up liquid to oven gloves included, so that was a real bonus. The sofa was lovely to sink into after a day out, especially with the view from the window. Water pressure and temperature were spot on, which is always a plus. The bath was a bit bouncy when standing in the shower if youre a bigger person like me, but thats personal really. Loved that they refresh the hot tub for each guest - very thoughtful. We grabbed some food on the way, but forgot bread, though we found some at the petrol station in Fort Augustus - bit pricey. Definitely dont miss the Falls of Foyers, just a quick 10-minute drive, but watch out for kamikaze grouse! The pub up the hill is a lovely spot with great food, just a couple of minutes walk. Would come back for sure!"
