We spent our annual winter week at Oak Lodge and were joined by our friends for four days. As usual the lodge was so cosy and provided everything we needed. Its situation in the Glen is simply stunning. The office and maintenance staff are so helpful and friendly, as we required their assistance on a couple of occasions. Special mention for Jessie, who went above and beyond expectations to help us with a personal problem.
We used the restaurant in The Clachaig every night and as usual the food was excellent. Only downside was that there were less daily specials than usual, so became a bit repetitive.
So in summary we all had a brilliant time, as did Kayleigh our Golden Retriever and we look forward to next years visit.

I stayed at The Oak with a group of friends all on a photography trip. The Lodge turned out to be the best stay of the whole trip; better than all the AirBNB's we stayed at. The price was perfect for our stay as were the locations and the attention from the staff. Value for money can't be beat here. The Lodges restaurant has some great meals (by UK Standards) and a wide assortment of beverages to wind the day down. I highly recommend it.

Oak Lodge would really benefit having a bird feeding station on the lawn, outside the big panoramic window. I managed to find some old feeders in the trees and filled, but to far away to appreciate. I put fat balls and seeds on the outside tables so I could enjoy watching the birds whilst having breakfast.

We were delighted with the lodge here. It was well equipped, spacious and very homely. The patio was an added bonus where we enjoyed soaking up the stunning scenery. It was a delight to sit by the window and watch the birds and the mountains. Having the inn on the doorstep was great for food and drinks out too.
Thank to all staff there. They work so hard and are very friendly/helpful.

We stayed in Oak Lodge a little early in the season, to avoid midges! Although the weather wasn't great, Oak Lodge was warm with never-ending hot water. The staff were wonderful, both in the pub and coming to help us with a minor problem with the lodge. They couldn't have done more. Reception staff lovely.
Location - great walk down to Glencoe village, either on the road or on the Orbital trail. The huge picture windows overlooking the mountains was a constant draw, Some of the kitchen units looked a little tired, but everything worked,very functional and there was plenty of space for all our stuff.
Looking forward to coming back.

We stayed here for the tenth time and it was amazing as always. It took us a day to get the temperature right (March, cold ) but with the help of maintenance everything went perfect. I think it would be cool to invest in new frying pans! Thank you!

Clachaig Inn chalets are the best, we have returned many times and have stayed in all four of them.
Oak lodge is spacious cosy and very comfortable.
A great place for a winter or summer holiday,
Beautiful views and plenty walking to do.
Secluded and convenient with the Clachaig Inn just a few seconds walk away for a drink or a meal and entertainment.
The chalets are well equipped for cooking entertaining enjoying and with places for drying off your walking gear.
we will be back.

We have stayed here many times in the last 8 years in three of the 4 chalets. Family holidays/celebrations and always look forward to comimg back. The scenery is breathtaking and no one could ever tire of the ever changing sights. The chalets meet all of our needs and if you ever need a rest from sightseeing and walks they provide all the comfort for chilling out, and a stones throw from the ever inviting Boots Bar that our grandsons are now old enough to frequent!!!!! as they have been coming up to this area with us for the past 20 years. The Bidean Bar is ideal for younger families. The staff are and always have been friendly and helpful. Walks to Signal Rock and around the Glen are a must as is the Lochan at the end of the old road into the village.Many places are reachable by car Oban Fort William and further afield and a couple of ferry trips Mull or even across the bridge to Sky and so many more places too many to mention. Already looking forward to our next trip.

Perfect location.
Friendly lively bar & restaurant. Communication at booking was excellent as was information received before our arrival.
Good parking easy access to Oak Lodge.
We had a good week, the lodge is a good size however the double bed is very small & uncomfortable for 2 adults. We struggled to get a rested nights sleep, left early because of it. The room is big enough for a king size. Kitchen is ad hoc, couldn’t access the washing machine drawer fully or open the dishwasher fully due to the white goods not fitting in the kitchen. However the kitchen is small but fully functioning re cooker, fridge freezer, washing machine, dishwasher. It all works.
We used the self catering facility & the restaurant. Food in the restaurant is basic, mostly beige but fine for a night off cooking. Staff super friendly & very welcoming.
Local band cancelled due to back to back weather warning, which was a shame but understandable.
Oak Lodge would benefit from an enclosed garden so parents with young kids or dog owners can open the back doors & relax knowing kids or dogs are secure.
Overall Oak lodge despite being tired is homely, cosy, comfortable, clean & set in a perfect location to access the Glens walks.
If the bed was changed we’d rebook in a heart beat for next year!
Thanks for a lovely stay.

We had a great stay at Oak Lodge. It had everything we needed. Spacious with a good layout and views across to the mountains, beds we’re so comfortable it’s the best sleep we’ve had in ages! Nice patio area but didn’t get chance to sit out as the weather was mixed but enjoyed sharing our breakfast with the local birds. Yes the WiFi was intermittent but what do you expect in an area like this. Parking for the lodges is away from the main Clachaig Inn car park so you don’t get lots of noise from people coming and going & it’s definitely worth visiting the Inn. You can get groceries delivered to you but we shopped at the Co-op in Ballachulish, the petrol station in Glencoe also has a little shop which has lots of things you never knew you needed & everyone is friendly . We’ll definitely be coming for again.

A nice combination of a relaxed atmosphere in the service area and the quietness of the own lodge. That is how we experienced the Oak lodge. With plenty of room, two bathrooms and an outdoor atmosphere. This lodge was for us the right spot in Highland's most beautiful area.

We spent a wonderful week in Oak Lodge. The lodge is very well equipped and laid out and our family of five (three teenagers) felt very comfortable. Very large dining room / sitting room area (with gas fire that was very much appreciated on the rather fresh and wet nights), big kitchen, two bathrooms. Adding to that the central location, the stunning views and immediate surroundings as well as the great Clachaig Inn on the premises (great food, drinks, staff and atmosphere) just made this holiday perfect!
We hope we'll be able to come again!

We had a wonderful time staying at the Clachaig Inn. The 3 bedroom / 2 bathroom Oak Lodge was wonderful. It allowed plenty of room for me, the misses, the mother in law, and one of my kids.
We also had my parents visit for who were staying over at the Isles of Glencoe. The Clachaig Staff prepared dinner over at the restaurant and packaged it up for us to take to the cabin. My Dad can’t handle a lot of noise, so this worked out great.
I’d stay at the Clachaig over the Isles of Glencoe for the bar atmosphere, the simpler cheaper (so very tasty) food options.
The breakfast at Clachaig is superb, the Vista is breathtaking and the access to nature unsurpassable.
If you get the opportunity it beats the other contenders hands down.

We stayed 7 nights in July. Oak Lodge was great for our family of 5. My boys shared a twin and my daughter had here own room. My wife and I had a double with ensuite. My wife found the pillows initially hard but got used to it. The lodge is big and had great views down the glen. The kitchen was well equipped and had near new chef knives. A few of the non-stick frying pans had seen better days and the dishwasher door clashed with the nearest drawer knob but otherwise perfect. The wifi worked ok in most of the house so kids were happy but it did cut put from time to time. The Clachaig Inn itself was great, friendly staff and live music on Sat/Sun nights. Good choice of beers, whiskies and gins. Food was good too although we mostly cooked at the house. Highly recommend. If the weather was better we may have walked more. We were equipped with walking boots and gortex so were fine.

We loved Oak Lodge. Perfect place to stay. Location is outstanding, the pub is fantastic and the lodge is spacious and well equipped. The only downside was the WiFi as our son was revising for uni exams in the evenings and couldn't get a reliable signal. We'll definitely be back though. Thanks to all the staff in the pub and a big to Box o' Bananas. They were also fantastic!

Stay here regularly and this year decided to stay in February for a hopefully a snowy week. Unfortunately not so ! Weather far too warm. However, it did allow us time to visit all out favorite haunts. Clachaig Inn lived up to our expectations. Good food, staff and accommodation. Will stay here again, hopefully later in year, if costs remain reasonable.

A lovely week spent in the heart of Glencoe. Oak Lodge was lovely, scenery amazing. We just wanted more snow. Arrived in freezing temperatures and low level snow but by next morning the temp had gone up about 8 degrees and the rain got rid of the snow except on the mountain tops. Boots bar staff were great and you can't beat the Clachaig chilli. The view to sit with your morning coffee in the lodge takes some beating. Highly recommended place to stay.

Oak lodge was comfortable and spacious for our group of 4 adults, a 2y old, and a 2m old baby. Beds were excellent, warm and very comfortable and great for recuperating from long days out. The lodge is well equipped but in need of some small updates. They really should reinvest the money from just a single booking and replace the pans and other kitchen equipment, replace threadbare sofas, and do some basic repairs like patching the hole in the single room by the plugs.

As always, the location of the Clachaig is unrivalled and we had an excellent week exploring Glen Coe and the wider Lochaber area. However, it's a shame that the service at the hotel reception and restaurant has declined noticeably in the last few years. We understand they are dealing with shortstaffing, so can accept the (drastically) reduced menu and that we need to wait a little longer, but what was unacceptable was the repeated mistakes that they never made an effort to make up for (recorded table booking wrong, missed a drink from the order, and brought the wrong meal).

We enjoyed our stay at oak lodge but think that a few improvements are needed. The carpets in two of the bedrooms are very badly stained in places and could do with a good clean, also the sofas were a little grubby on some of the seats. Catches on some of the windows were broken and found some of them hard to open and close. TV is too high up, gave me quite a bad neck, it could do with being lowered. Also parking was a bit hit and miss, coming back from days out we sometime found that parking opposite the chalets was taken up with staff vehicles and sometimes we had to park towards the end, not good in the pouring rain. I would have thought that parking by the chalets should be for guests only as there is sufficient parking in the lower car park for staff vehicles Our last stay at The Clachaig was a couple of years ago in Beech chalet and we found that Beech was a much better property. We will probably stay at the Clachaig in the future but will choose a different chalet.

We have stayed here many times at one time with extended family in three of the four Chalets,and will be back next year. Knowing how short staffed they were Nothing but praise and admiration for the way they were working under extremely difficult conditions,The boots bar as always the place to enjoy after a busy day.

We have stayed many time in Oak Lodge and can’t recommend it highly enough. Well maintained and equipped.
Fabulous views from every window, lots of walks right from the door and a stunning mountain stream pool to swim in for the hardy.
If you get fed up self catering in the well equipped kitchen the Clachaig Inn is a stones throw a way and has everything you might need from food to drinks. The reception staff are very welcoming and incredibly helpful.
Looking forward to returning next year.

We have stayed at Clachaig many times over the years, this was first time in one of their chalets - it was fantastic and doubt we will go back to staying in normal rooms.

The chalet is spacious, spotless and comfortable with everything needed for week self catering. Comfortable chairs by large window with views up Glencoe.

Grass and seating area outside though Oak doesn’t have covered porch (weather was fine, didn’t need it). The property is quiet, set back slightly from the main pub, car park and play area. Note there can occasionally be a bit of a smell from the property’s septic tank area.

Staff are helpful and friendly, doing the best they can under current COVID restrictions and it was great to be able to have food and drink in Boots Bar again.

Very minor things to improve - pillows are not very comfy and lamp shades in living room are low and pointy.

Cheers





Back again !

Perhaps the best summary of our visit is the fact that we booked to come again before we reluctantly started our homeward journey . Of course the location of awesome mountains and beautiful lowland river and forest walk is worth the visit but all the more when they are blended with the facilities of a well equipped and very comfortable Lodge .
The nearby Clachaig Hotel provided the occasional delicious meal that we chose to eat by the fire in our Lodge and with Covid restrictions lifted there will be the added attraction of Saturday live music in the old Boot Bar . No wonder it is all fully booked for a while to come !

We recently spent a week at the Clachaig. (Just before the travel restrictions came in)
It was our 3rd visit and we’ll be back.
We stayed in one of the chalets next to the hotel and ate every evening in the bar.
The chalet was very comfortable, spacious and cosy, and it was spotlessly clean.
The bar staff were friendly and we could see they were making an effort to maintain social distancing. Tables were spaced out and there was a one way system for entering and leaving the building.
As always, the food was excellent. Portions were a bit big for me but I can see if you’d been out in the hills all day they’d be just right.
I hope the Clachaig can survive this pandemic and we can return sometime soon.

The lodge is very spacious and Generally comfortable. Unfortunately the mattresses were all terrible. Both of us found it hard to sleep well even after days on the hills. That is the only criticism we have, easily remedied. The Clachaig is a great place in a great location.

A welcome return to Glencoe. The chalet was exactly what we wanted. Warm , convenient and well equipped. Glencoe is always stunning whatever the season, and the Clachaig is always a welcome haven. Thanks to all the staff who did a great job in difficult times.

All the staff at the Clachaig couldn’t be more welcoming and helpful. Joanne and Annemarie on reception are a credit.
We can’t wait to return to this gem.

Another amazing stay in oak lodge. Comfy beds and stunning views gave us all the best nights sleep for the whole week. Plenty of crockery,cutlery etc to make self catering a breeze. Although the Inn is a few strides away so didn't do a lot of cooking.Will be back next year if not sooner.Thanks to all there.

Glencoe has become a favourite place to visit for quite a few years now after discovering when travelling the West coast of Scotland
The Clachaig Inn is such a unique and welcoming place to stay right in the heart of Glencoe
We have over the years stayed in each of the chalets which we have found to meet our needs more than adequately
Our most recent stay being Christmas 2019 in ‘Oak Lodge’ which is spacious and comfortable and where I cooked our Christmas dinner which we ate sat at the table by the beautiful Christmas Tree (provided)
We went into the ‘Boot Bar’ a few times (Great Atmosphere and very ‘Dog Friendly) Great service Friendly staff (as always) and good food. The Menu offers a good and varied choice of food and there is always a ‘Specials’ Board which both my Husband and Son had meals from and both were impressed!
We have stayed in the Chalets at different times of the year this being our second visit this year in ‘Oak’ (back in March) when we did the ‘Pap’ of Glencoe (well worth the climb for the amazing views) and also the ‘Hidden’/‘Lost’ Valley the first sighting of which is unbelievable
The Clachaig as I mentioned before is ‘Unique’ the setting is ‘Out if this World’
and it offers accommodation to suit everyone’s needs!
As a family we just love the ‘Chalets’ and it suits our dog to!
Glencoe and the ‘Clachaig’ have been on our favourites list for many years and considering we live nearly 400 miles away that should say it all!

Stayed in Oak Lodge many times and just love it. Very cosy and well equipped and within stone throwing distance of Clachaig Inn.
We have a dog and it is wonderful to have so many walks right on your doorstep.
Clachaig Inn is superb. Very welcoming and staff very friendly. The food is excellent and large selection of drinks for everyones tastes.
Situated in a wonderful part of Scotland. We will be returning in February.

We booked a 3 night short break in November with a view to taking some photography and going walking. We stayed in Oak Lodge which is ideally located in the grounds of the Clachaig Inn, easy staggering distance and no-one has to drive! Fabulous views from the lodge, plenty of room, clean, warm and welcoming and everything you need to self-cater if you don’t want to eat in the pub. Comfortable beds. Good areas for socialising.

Have had many staya in this lodge. Love the location and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The lodge obviously needs an update. Sitting room flooring is much better. So is the main bathroom.
Sofas need replacing. Carpets in main bedroom need replacing and kitchen in a poor state. All,said and done though we’ll continue booking annually.

Oak Lodge was a comfortable setting for our stay. We enjoyed the well equipped kitchen for meals "at home." The living space is comfortable and provides a nice view from the great room. It met or exceeded our expectations and we were most happy with the accommodations, the surroundings and the staff.

The lodge has had a makeover since our last stay so was even more comfortable and inviting than before. Perfect combination of a self catering chalet just a few yards from the hotel and the most welcoming and relaxed environment for eating out or just relaxing over a drink. Please don’t ever change the Boots Bar.

My husband and I spent a week in Oak Lodge and were joined by family members at various points during that time. We have stayed at the Clachaig many times over the years but this was our first time in a chalet. Oak Lodge is lovely, comfortable, very well equipped and spotlessly clean on arrival. The views from the windows are spectacular. As always the staff were friendly, efficient and very hard- working and coped well with the crowds arriving for the Easter weekend. We found staying in the chalet suited our group really well and gave us more flexibility during our stay. We could come and go as we pleased and had lots of room to relax in comfort after our walks. Glencoe is a favourite place for us and we wouldn't dream of staying anywhere other than the Clachaig and from now on my first choice would be to stay in one of the chalets. We hope to return later this year.

Yet another wonderful stay at the Clachaig, Oak lodge was lovely, clean and tidy, if there was one thing I could say needed a little updating it was the kitchen, although functional it is a little tired, but other than that a fantastic week had by my family staying in all the lodges. As always we were well looked after by all the staff at the Clachaig and couldn’t have wished for better weather.

This was our second time staying in these lodges. In the grounds of the Clachaig Inn the setting and location are stunning. With easy drive to the mountain resort and just 40 minutes walk into the village along the path through the woods. The lodges have everything you need for a self catering stay in comfort. The beds are so comfy that we all had a great nights sleep. There were 4 adults,8 year old and dog and there is more than enough room. The double en-suite is huge with a further twin and a single all good in size. The family bathroom is lovely and the shower powerful. I went into the kitchen area one morning to see a huge stag peering into the lodge window ..what a wonderful start to the day.Already planning our next stay.

Recently returned from yet another trip to Glencoe staying at the Clachaig in Oak chalet this time.
Have stayed here on several occasions and have been in all of the different chalets at some time.
These chalets appeal to us mainly because of their location which is awesome!
They offer good accommodation are spacious well furnished comfortable and provide adequate equipment for self catering.
To top it all you can have your dog staying with you!
Great place great location!

Another excellent visit. Everything we need for our annual winter mountaineering expedition is all here. A great location providing easy access to some of Scotland's finest mountains. Fort William a short drive away. Very comfortable accommodation with a two minute walk to the bar. Excellent food & selection of beers.
All staff throughout the whole Clachaig Inn complex have been brilliant, service with a smile ;)
See you again next year

Superb location to spend time with family, walking, drinking, eating and laughing.
Really well equipped and comfortable accommodation,

Only one concern we had was the oven in Oak and Beech Lodge on Christmas day gave some real challenges, not sure if demand effects the running but both ovens failed to operate properly at peak times and it took some creative swapping by both families to enable the dinner to be bought together.

I cannot fault this accommodation or it's location. Oak Lodge was clean, spacious and had everything you need! The location is absolutely spot on, the views are amazing and great walks nearby. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

We went to Clachaig Inn for a couple of meals on an evening and the Inn itself is lovely. However, the only "OK" I've given in the review (whilst giving "Excellent" to everything else) is specifically related to Customer Service at the Inn and not the holiday accommodation itself. We found the girls working in the Inn to be lovely, chatty and overall very friendly. There was, however, one man working there who we all found to be very unwelcoming and rude. I don't think it was just us though - he seemed to have the same terrible attitude with other customers. Unfortunately he was there both on the Saturday & Monday evening (and was the same both times), so that did put us off somewhat. I do apologise though if Clachaig Holidays have no connection to Clachaig Inn - we had absolutely no issues with the accommodation side of things whatsoever - and we'd definitely come again!

Very happy with Oak Lodge. Well located for the walks we wanted to do. The lodge had all the facilities we could need and was very comfortable. Into issue that the gas fire didn’t work & we were unable to get it fixed, although the weather wasn’t too bad and the electric heaters in the rooms did the job. The Clachhaig Inn was handy for evenings where we didn’t want too cook & they were kind enough to let us reserve some tables for a large group to celebrate a birthday which went very well. We also enjoyed the live music. Everyone enjoyed their holiday & we would certainly book again.

Although the weather was not great we went out everyday - walked up the Pap of Glencoe, not quite a Munro but not far off it. Great scenery at the top. Cycled to Holly Tree Hotel from the Lodge which can be done on the pavement and path as road very very busy. Enjoyed a few pints in the Boot Bar which always has a friendly buzz.

Loved location, property we stayed in and food. Some staff could be a bit more polite towards paying customers. I’ve been here several times over the years and this is the first time I’ve had experiences of impolite staff.



Great stay in Glencoe

We had a lovely stay at Oak Lodge. It is in a beautiful quiet location, and the accommodation was very clean and comfortable, up to date, and had all we needed to cook. I wish we could have stayed longer than the three days we were there.



A fabulous location in the heart of the Glen

Oak lodge is well equipped and well presented. It is right in the heart of the Glen and in the grounds of a fab pub. Great location for exploring the area.
If travelling with older family members please note there is no hand rail on quite steep steps to main entrance. Care is needed.



Disappointed

On arrival discovered that the gas fire was not working, reported, chap looked at it said it required an engineer to fix, no engineer visit and lt wasn't fixed by the end of our stay. Again on arrival the shower in the ensuite bathroom was taking forever to drain away, staff member then poured caustic soda down drain which cleared it, terrible smell of damp in ensuite, possibly due to lack of window. Sofa's and chairs in lounge area need replacing, old and uncomfortable, kitchen also require's updating. No designated parking for lodge clients,staff in habit of parking their cars there, made getting parked a bit difficult at times. Could only get BBC1 & 2 on TV, no others channels, mostly due to location, also no wi-fi in lodge, no booster routers which would help, wi-fi in main hotel poor and very slow.

Dear Mr Taylor, The local gas engineer looked at the fire and told us it requires new parts but as it is the middle of summer I am afraid this hasn't been a priority. We have had no issue with damp in the en suite shower room so we are unsure why you could smell damp during your stay. The sofas and kitchen were not upgraded when the rest of the lodge was as it was believed they did not need to be. It is the first time we have had a complaint I am aware of on either of these things, usually people are commenting how comfortable Oak is. There is a large car park which is shared by the self catering properties and live in staff, you can also park right outside the single room next to the front door of Oak as many guests do. If by chance this car park was full we have further parking for around 70 vehicles. The lack of TV channels is due to a local mast transceiver not working properly and is completely out of our control. With regards to the Wi-Fi as we state on our website for Oak Lodge "Free Wi-Fi is provided at the Inn, though the service is limited due to the rural mountain location." Due to our location our internet bandwidth is not strong enough to boost the signal beyond the router we have tried this and there is currently no other option to us as a business which is very frustrating. We hope this experience has not put you off staying with us again in the future.

Great location

Our sixth time back (and have stayed in hotel, lodge and chalets) this one has been nicely refurbished and has plenty of room.

Oak lodge was like home from home. All the facilities were everything you would wish for. The location is hard to beat especially if you’re a climber or simply happy sitting in the chairs outside taking in some of the best scenery in the UK. Great local beer and food menu in the Clagaic bars 1 minute walk away. Haggis Neeps n Tatties a must. If you’re lucky like we were, you might see a Pine Martin that looked at us outside the lounge window!

This cabin is in the most perfect location (almost), looking at the towering mountains of Glencoe and within yards of the Clachaig, the perfect pub.
The cabin is well equipped, clean and comfortable. The kitchen and eating area was fine but we ate in the Clachaig every evening.
The only drawback was the proximity of the septic tank, at times the smell prohibited sitting out to enjoy the view.
Nevertheless a great place to stay.



Comfortable, well equipped

We enjoyed our stay in Oak Lodge. From the outside it doesn't look much. Inside it was very good. The bedrooms and new bathrooms were clean and modern. The lodge was decorated tastefully.
Our negative was the cooker which only worked on full , the oven doesn't reach the highest temperatures. The kitchen units need to be replaced to bring the whole lodge up to the same standard.
We stopped going into the hotel back bar due to variable opening hours and slow service.
The garden has all day sunshine, we made good use of the garden chairs.

We would happily return.

This was our fourth time staying in the Clachaig lodges. Twice in Beech and twice in Oak. We had family staying in Beech and Rowan and there was a total of thirteen. Glen Coe is the most beautiful place to stay and so much in the surrounding area to see.
and do. Some of the family tried skiing at the Glen Coe Ski resort, cycling and canoeing along the Caledonian canal. Segway at Ballachulish, ice wall climbing at Kinlochleven, a rib ride from Siel. There was much walking, Glen Nevis and the awesome Steall Falls, in Glen Coe itself Glen Etive and our go to place the lovely Lochan near the village. We were so lucky to see so much snow still on the tops but also lovely weather for all our activities.So much was packed into a very short week. The big meet at the end of each day was the wonderful Boots Bar great entertainment and hospitality, and visits from the local deer, Cant wait for the next time and would recommend this place to all, something for everyone.












Comfortable spacious accommodation in idyllic location.

Regular visitor to Clachaig. Never disappointed. First time in Oak Tree Lodge. Well impressed. Very well appointed with all that is required for a comfortable stay. Decor and layout clean and modern. Good quality appliances. Heating very good particularly for Winter. The views from the Lodge are absolutely stunning. Although perfect for a self catering holiday, the proximity of the hotel bars provide an excellent dining service facilitating long days in the hills without having to cook. Meals are good quality and the choice is excellent. The boots Bar provides a relaxed friendly atmosphere where you can reflect on the days activities by a warm fire with a few drinks (and your dog is welcome too). Customer service throughout is friendly and welcoming. Only negative is the lack of internet. Have already booked three further stays for this year.

Can't argue with that. Many thanks for the feedback and we look forward to seeing you later in the season. We're working on that internet thing, but it's taking time as it's complicated given that BT don't want to know.
