Stayed here for 3 nights for a wedding in Rossie on the Earn nearby. The lodges are just lovely .... rustic as you'd expect, very cosy and well equipped too, with excellent parking. I also loved the little vases of fresh flowers ..... Mary was very helpful in all our communications, and all information provided was very clear. My brother and his family stayed a few lodges down, so this is perfect for families to be close together if visiting for weddings.

Being asked for taking our grandson with us to Scotland has been changing all our plans. Elcho was best solution. So we changed from Dumfries and Galloway to Perthshire. It was a very lucky time especially for the little man at the water: North Sea, Forth of Tay, Loch Leven, Waterfalls, St. Andrews Aquarium and no water area Scottish Deer Centre in Bow of Five. And he never became homesick. Returning to Germany after two weeks wasn't easy for us. But we, an elderly couple, will return later for the next (8th) holiday in Scotland, maybe in Dumfries or Galloway.

I’ve been staying at the River Lodges for a number of years now. Owners John and Mary run a top notch operation. Friendly and accommodating, I wouldn’t stay anyplace else. The only ding I regretfully have to give them is having to feed a meter, pound coins to keep the utilities going. This practice is very 1960’s, 70’s or no later than the 80’s. That being said, it won’t prevent me from returning. I absolutely love the scenic setting!

Lloyd from Sugar Grove stayed at Elcho Lodge 11 (1 bedroom) for 4 nights in April 2024


Mary replied 221 days ago
Thanks Lloyd for your kind words. About the electricity meters: they are more current than you might think. They make people more aware of how much energy they're consuming. We can keep our costs low rather than increasing our prices to cover the costs of those who have the heaters on full (yet open the windows!). Meters are making a comeback :D :D At the moment the meters are set lower than the price we pay for the elctricity, so they're subsidised at the moment as the cost of electricity and gas is too high to pass on to the guest. We are prohibited from making any profit from the meters, so it's not a money-making exercise. It's quite tedious to empty the meters and pay the cash in they pay the VAT on the cash etc etc etc. Wow! Long reply, are you still awake? Anyway it's always good to see you and thanks again :D

Perfect location, well equipped lodge, with helpful and attentive owners

We booked a last minute stay at RIver Edge Lodges for my wife and I and 2 friends, due to the illness of another friend we were planning on staying with in Bridge of Earn, and we were all delighted with our stay.
The location of the lodges was perfect, close to all the amenities of the village, yet in a secluded and tranquil setting, overlooking the river Earn.
The lodge was well appointed, spacious, and had a lovely sunny terrace running around 2 sides of the lodge, perfect for our morning coffee.
Mary, the owner couldnt have been more helpful, and actually offered us an upgrade in view of the circumstances of our situation, and as we booked 2 lodges.

It was a lovely location with everything that self-catering accommodation needed. We felt relaxed and knew that if we needed anything, the owners were on site to provide assistance. It was really enjoyable to have the chickens and two goats in the grounds too! All in all we were very happy to have found River Edge Lodges with its easy access to so many places to visit nearby, and local amenities just a walk away. We would definitely recommend a stay to anyone who enjoys the freedom of a self-contained lodge for a holiday location.

River Edge Lodges is a family owned resort, with a pleasant atmosphere in a quiet corner of Bridge of Earn. The park is nicely landscaped and well maintained. The Lodges are spacious and comfortable. Lodge number 11 is furnished with a good eye for original design and colourscheme. The owners, John and Mary McKay are allways helpfull and friendly. We can recommend River Edge Lodges to any lover of nature and tranquility.

Thank you for taking the time to do your review. We're delighted you enjoyed you stay. Sorry that you didn't find the bed comfortable - all the lodges have new mattresses, but I suppose not everybody will like the same type of mattress. Next time, maybe we can provide a topper for your mattress. :)

This was our second stay at Riversedge. Park is lovely, lodgevwas excel, we really only ate there once or twice. Every utensil we required was available. Lodge is confortable handy for access to Perth, Dundee Edinburgh or Glasgow and further afield. Fife and Perthshire are on the doorstep with all that they have to offer, History, walks, fishing, golf or which ever. They are all on the doorstep lovely setting.

We chose the location as it is a good place for visiting most areas in southern Scotland. The bonus is the lodges are fully equipped spotlessly clean and in well tended grounds. Lots of grass and close to local amenities and not too far from central Perth. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this site to others. Customer service was also very good

We stayed for 1 week while attending The Open golf in St. Andrews and generally exploring the area. A perfect base for us. Being able to walk to the village for shopping and eating out was great.
Our cabin had everything we needed and was generally in good working order. Functional rather than fancy, but all comfortable.
Easy booking, great communication, nice ambience, and excellent service when we did have a very minor issue with a misbehaving can opener.
Thanks for a smashing week.

Elcho Lodge 11 is a comfortable and charmingly furnished cottage on a beautifully landscaped, well-kept park in a quiet area on the edge of the village of Bridge of Earn. The owners, Mary and John McKay are friendly, helpful and welcoming. We will certainly recommend them to family, friends and lovers of peace and space.

Would just have liked a proper dining table to sit at even if only small, as in our 80s sitting on a stool not very good. Other wise everything very good.

The other lodges have solid dining tables, for next time :) Update: we now have a small dining table in this lodge :)

We spent a week in Elcho Lodge this time just as the dark nights had fully started...
The starry skies are something else here, there was not a cloud in the sky for a full week of our visit.
The lodge itself was spotless, fully furnished, and is really a home from home (even with a washing machine if you like to do washings on holiday). Everything you need is here. Lovely muted colours in the full lodge, open plan and a lovely seated area on the decking outside. Plenty of storage space in all rooms, Wi-Fi and very importantly, a good iron also here..
Outside is fab...we had breakfast out there every day of the week. A large table and chairs just outside the living room window, you can sit and watch the goats and chickens that live there, as well as catching some beautiful views of the river edge and trees that surround the lodges...And it is so quiet. Even though the village main street is just round the corner you hardly hear a sound coming from it. Absolute bliss.
Back to the goats....you can feed them.. they are lovely (and not too big or scarey) and they can see you when you're sitting outside Elcho.. the chickens cluck round about when you're over seeing their goaty pals lol ..
Mary and John from the lodges are there on hand if you need them but everything you need is really sent to you beforehand or left for when you arrive..
As you can probably tell, we had a great time and Elcho Lodge is so comfortable to stay in.
We always recommend River Edge Lodges for a holiday.... the lodges, area and hosts.. are all great and when you go, you'll have a brilliant time :)

Really enjoyed our short break at the lodges. Setting is lovely. Looking out onto the goats playfighting in the morning was great. Everything you need for food/drink is within a 2 minute walk and if you want to jump in the car its an ideal location for going anywhere. Special mention to Mary, who was so helpful with all of our needs. The perfect host. Thank you!

I can't recommend the lodges enough! We were on a 5 night stay with our 1 year old daughter and it had everything we needed. Added bonus of goats and chickens on sight that she was obsessed with morning&night. The outdoor space in front of the lodge, inc. Picnic benches and slide/activity gym were perfect for her to let off some steam and meant we could enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The location is great for easy access to surrounding Perthshire, Dundee, St.Andrews etc. The lodge was nice and clean and had everything we needed, making for a really homely stay. Already looking to book our next stay!

The weather was very kind during my short stay at the lodge and the grassy area provided a lovely view from the verandah. The whole complex was immaculate and hanging baskets of flowers were appearing. There is some noise from the main road and the railway but the main sound is birdsong. Every piece of equipment worked and the heating was quick to make the lodge cosy on the two evenings when the outside temperature dropped.
The customer service was slightly reduced because of Covid procedures but my initial conversation with Mary McKay made me feel very welcome.
If you don't have a car the gravel parking area makes a very fine boules pitch and if you're a wild swimmer there is easy access to the river Earn!

We spent a lovely few days here to visit our family nearby.
The lodge was very comfortable- good seating and bed - with everything in the kitchen you need for a holiday.
It has a lovely veranda for eating outside or sunning yourself.
Good running around space with some play equipment for our Grandchildren but the best entertainment were trees loaded with cherries and friendly goats!
There are even red squirrels !
A lovely place- we will certainly return.

Lovely central location for visiting Perthshire. Friendly, very welcoming and comfortable. Owners on hand to check all was well and help out my octogenarian parents if needed, without being intrusive. Great pre-visit communications too. Thank you

First time we have been to River Edge Lodges and I can say it will not be our last. Had a wonderful stay in the Elcho lodge which was clean and comfortable. The site is well kept and location great. Bridge of Earn has sufficent for a stay with a Co-op close by and two great pubs within 5 minutes walk.

Ideal for what we needed it for, going to a wedding, clean and convenient , probably better for family holiday, but no complaints

My 4yr old daughter and I stayed at River Edges Lodges this year for the second time. As always the accommodation was decorated lovely and very clean! Mary is really friendly and my daughter loved chatting to her when we chose a stash of DVD’s from reception! We will definitely be staying there again!

We had a great three nights stay in this excellent lodge, wish it could have been longer. The lodge is bright, spacious, furnished with thought and comfort in mind. It ticked all the boxes for us with everything in the lodge top quality. We enjoyed being close to the amenities in the village. A few minutes walk to a well stocked small Co-op, pubs and eateries. A half hourly bus ride takes you into the centre of Perth if you don’t want to use the car but if you do there are lots of interesting places to visit. The owners were so helpful and friendly many thanks to you both. And the big treat was we enjoyed a cuppa on the veranda one morning when the sun came out. Not bad for 2nd Feb!

Very nice lodges - didn't stay in the Elcho as planned as they were working in it but was given a two bedroom lodge instead. Very comfortable and well equipped. Coin meter for electricity set at a fair price so very reasonable. Great location. Well kept grounds. Owners Mary and John very friendly and helpful. Would definitely visit again and highly recommend.

Another well earned break at river edge lodges everything is so peace full here. We ha've been coming for over twenty years first of all with our children and now with our grandson. My daughter still comes in the summer with us. Lodges are lovely and clean and very cosy. Over the years we have been in them all and everyone has the same standard. Mary and John are lovely and help full. Looking forward to July.

We had a brilliant long weekend at River Edge Lodges; getting an upgrade to a bigger lodge on arrival :) The lodge was cosy, comfortable and a perfect base to return to after a day exploring! The grounds are so well kept; a great place for our boys to run about and use up their energy, they really enjoyed the slides! and the animals who happily ate breakfast scraps! Mary was really lovely, friendly and so helpful! A long weekend was simply not long enough - we will be back one day ..... when I pluck up enough courage to tackle the M90 again!! :)

The lodge was comfortable and homely, Mary and John could not have been more helpful, the grandchildren played safely and happily, all of our questions were answered, and the sun shone. What more could anyone ask for? We've already booked again for next year, year four! Fantastic!

Sheltered site, well kept green areas. Elcho Lodge has a well equipped kitchen area and comfortable lounge. Ideal location for guests of all ages. Owners, John and Mary, are charming - a lovely helpful and friendly couple who, together, aim to provide every facility that guests could possibly need to ensure a happy and relaxing holiday break. Our first, but definitely not our last stay at River Edge Lodges.

We had 4 family units traveling from France and the US and meeting in Scotland for a vacation. We had heard of River Edge Lodge through a recommendation and we are very happy we chose to stay with them. We were looking for accommodations that would allow us to travel on day trips and have a home base where we could reconvene in the evenings and eat together and plan the next day's travels. The River Edge Lodge was the perfect choice for us. Centrally located in a small community with easy and convenient stores within walking distance and cabins large enough to allow us to prepare meals and eat together was ideal. The owners are wonderfully nice people who work hard to make your stay memorable and are more than willing to give ideas on off-the-beaten-path destinations and help in any way. When we go back to Scotland we'll def be staying here again!
