Amazing stay and surroundings

It was a comfortable and clean lodge with plenty of space. We loved the master suite with built-in cupboard and en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom was cosy with a large cupboard and vanity. The second bathroom had a tub and shower. We loved Islay lodge and the surroundings. Great view of Ben Nevis! We highly recommend a stay here and hope to make it back there one day.

Highland holiday Sept 2023

Offered everything it advertised. Remote yet only 10 minutes drive from Fort William. Staff were friendly and responsive.. Location is too far to walk to local amenities but superb if you like the peace and quiet. All facilities within the cabin were excellent and we lacked for nothing. Laundry room was well equipped and well used!

Everything was fine

Our stay was very pleasant, a very nice natural surrounding, well equipped lodge (for 2 grown ups an one kid quite spacy) - but you must be aware of having to drive a while to get to the next supermarket or hiking trail. Fort William: approx 20 min.

Fabulous scenery in all weather.

We were greeted on arrival and directed to our lodge. It was spacious, clean, bright and airy. There was ample storage space and the addition of a freezer was very useful during our week long stay. The view of Ben Nevis was uninterrupted and it was a pleasure to watch the changing weather conditions from the comfort of the sofa. We did have a slight issue with the double bed due to the framework sagging in the middle but this was rectified the same day. This was by far the best accommodation we stayed in during a month of touring Scotland and I would happily come again.

Alojamiento agradable con vistas al Ben Nevis

Alojamiento bonito en un lugar tranquilo con fantásticas vistas del Ben Nevis. Es necesario coche, porque está algo alejado de Fort William. Hay columpios para los niños. El único punto negativo es que la cama de matrimonio era algo incómoda porque se hundía. Por lo demás, bastante agradable.

Prachtige plek

De locatie is geweldig, heel rustig en midden in de natuur. Jammer wel dat je niet echt goed vanuit het huisje verschillende rondwandelingen kunt maken. De zithoek, de keuken en het balkon met meubilair zijn prachtig. Heel fijn om nu eens een vakantiewoning te hebben met voldoende ruimte voor het opbergen van je kleding en keuken- voorraad. Een aardige beheerder. Slaapkamers en douchecabine zijn wel erg klein, de bedden smal en kort.

Wunderschöne Lodge in den Highlands

Wir haben eine sehr schöne Woche in den Lochaber Lodges verbracht. Das Haus war sehr komfortabel und gemütlich. Alles war sauber und gut in Schuss. Die Ausstattung war soweit ganz gut, die Anzahl von Geschirr und Besteck könnte besser sein. Internet (WLAN) ist hervorragend. Bestens geeignet für Touren in die Highlands, nach Ben Nevis, Fort William und auch Inverness. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können das Haus uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen.

Short break in gairlochy

We arrived late at night after a long journey and woke to find snow covered mountains and the caledonian canal very close by. Perfect location just close enough to fort william if we needed anything but also nice and quiet away from everyone. Lodge was very clean and incredibly cosy, the telescope was a nice addition to view the mountains. Will definitely be back.
