Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers consistently mention the lodge's spotless and immaculate condition, indicating exceptional standards of cleanliness.
The lodge's location is highly praised for its peaceful woodland setting and proximity to Inverness, local walks, and attractions, though it is not completely isolated, which slightly affects the perfect score.
Guests describe the lodge as extremely comfortable, with luxurious touches and a cosy atmosphere, suggesting a high level of comfort throughout their stay.
The lodge is lauded for its well-equipped facilities, including a hot tub and eco-friendly products. The mention of ongoing improvements suggests that maintenance is taken seriously, although this indicates there is always room for minor enhancements.
The presence of welcome packs and the hosts' helpfulness reflect a thoughtful approach to guest hospitality. While gifts are appreciated, they are a gracious bonus and not a guaranteed feature.

It is a real log cabin, spacious and very well equipped. Sheltered from the wind by fir trees, the cabin veranda was a delightful, sun trap. The bird feeders attracted a huge variety of birds, we counted 14 different kinds. There were bird books, for those who wish to identify them. It really is a superb choice for a holiday away from the rush and noise of modern life. Yet only a short drive from Inverness.

The pictures do not do the lodge justice, it is very clean, everything is of good quality and they had thought of everything you could possibly think of, a true home away from home. Would highly recommend and there was even a heron and red squirrels!!

The host welcomed us on arrival to and gave us some information about the lodge and the area. The lodge is beautiful, clean and extremely well equipped. The location is great for exploring with several historic sites and walks etc nearby. The host provided an extensive list of suggested places to visit and recommended restaurants etc which was very helpful. It is also only about a ten minute drive to the centre of Inverness with shopping, bars, restaurants and supermarkets. We couldnât fault our stay in any way and hope to stay at Heron lodge again in the future.
