Loch Rannoch Highland Club, Lochside Lodge 05

Lovely relaxing stay. Positive: Lovely lochside cottage. Bedrooms are downstairs and kitchen openplan living room on ffirst floor. Both levels have a balcony with loch view. Lovely comfortable stay, furniture and decor is a bit dated but we travelled with young children and felt a bit more relaxed without fear of spillages etc on brand new furniture. Negative: Because we only stayed 2 nights and needed to be out by 10am on departure day I felt check in time of 4.30pm on arrival day a bit late. Would have preferred a bit sooner and whilst I appreciate you need to allow time for cleaners from previous guests I felt it just made our first evening and unpacking time a bit late in the day.

Great view and location and friendly staff Positive: Great location with excellent view of the loch and hills. The staff were kind enough to provide us transportation to pick and drop our elderly parent with mobility issues from the bus stop. Clean lodge with good kitchenware provided. The location while reached by public transport from Pitlochry still feels remote. There is hardly any place to buy groceries nearby save for a post office store and fine dining restaurant so need to be prepared with groceries. There is a new cafe/pub by the waterfall nearby which is very nice. Negative: The beds in the second bedroom is quite tough and the first bedroom's one could be comfier.

Beautiful location, clean rooms Positive: Everything. We have stated before and we’ll stay again Negative: There’s nothing we didn’t like

Great place - sure we will come back! Positive: It was really beautiful - the view from the room was stunning. I did not expect that! Also the sauna was very nice. Pretty sure we will return in the future! Negative: Some of the furniture seemed a bit old.

Beautiful scenery, lovely property, needs more focus on utilising the surroundings to enhance a family holiday Positive: Beautiful scenery, the property takes advantage of the view and the area around it. Negative: Too much focus on joining the highland club, it would have been nice to have more leaflets about Kinloch Rannoch and the activities available at the hotel/marina instead of the highland club membership. Please can you also look at the pricing strategy of the swimming pool? £100 to take the kids swimming is unreasonable and more than half the time we walked past the pool it was empty. There were very little activities available to do on the Loch, it feels like you’re missing one of the main pulls for people. It all felt a bit bland. That being said, we made the most of it and the accommodation was lovely. We’ve had a great time.
