Nice hotel set in its own grounds. Old lodge with a modern extension. Rooms were clean tho mine was dated as I was in the old part. Has nice dining room for individual guests but as we were a coach party we ate in the function room. Nice cosy bar with a good range of drinks.
Food was excellent, fresh trout one night and haggis etc on another.
Only one thing to moan about..... the midges in the grounds, they BITE!

Stayed here with Travelstyle on a 5 day "bargain break" in late August. The room was a little basic but was clean and tidy with fresh towels and tea/coffee being replenished every day, some of the rooms had been updated and these looked very nice. The food was excellent throughout our stay with a good and varied choice. Staff were always pleasant and caring and went out of their way to be helpful. I could easily return to the Lodge but this time would request an updated room!

As a teacher, I stayed here for only one night with a group of close to 30 well-behaved American high school students and several adult chaperones on an EF Tour of England and Scotland.

Rooms were spacious, especially when compared to often-cramped London accommodations. The decor was traditional, a mix of tartan and classic country. Facilities were en suite and in good working order, including a hot shower. Perhaps what I recall most fondly was the bed. The combination of a comfortable mattress and my exhaustion caused me to oversleep. Fortunately, the other chaperones told me it was fine to skip breakfast, something I wouldn't allow the students to do.

Meals (dinner and breakfast) were included as part of our tour, but choices weren't as limited as in other locations. It was not only plentiful and served with a smile, but allowed students to try a bit of authentic food. However, I can't say the black pudding was a big hit with everyone, especially after they were informed of the ingredients, but it triggered lots of laughter.

The Lodge was a required respite after a rather uninspired visit to Loch Ness where students were rushed through the commercial aspects. Hotel workers patiently provided helpful information for students using phone cards, even guiding them to a traditonal red phone booth just down Laggan Road/Main Street. The location was also less than a quarter-mile away from a small convenience/grocery store that came in handy for students to buy snacks and health/beauty items.

Surrounded by the rich, rugged Highland scenery, city life and schedules faded. Strolling on the street in front of the Lodge, I noticed we were the only ones outside in the evening. The reason became apparent with an attack of the midges (similar to biting gnats, difficult to see/smack, arriving in small armies). Many of us appeared to be doing a dance to escape them and return inside. Upon doing so, real dancing was provided by the hotel in the form of a traditional Scottish ceilidh with patron participation...wish I'd recorded that on video.

Overall, the Lodge was a big success for students and chaperones alike. The staff was attentive and polite, even with tired teenagers. Since the prices fit an EF tour, they must be good. Just remember to bring the insect repellent if you step outside on a summer evening! Otherwise, it's a natural setting for a Highland hike.
