  • "Great lodge Rowan was the best due to its location on the grounds - private & secluded with a view of the lake."

    Lodge was fully kitted out & comfortable. Only issue was the check out at 9am felt very early!

  • "Adam the owner was so welcoming & friendly, but not intrusive."

    We packed too many things not needed due to the lodge being so well equipped. USB points in bedroom. Hairdryer, iron & table top ironing board supplied. Plastic glasses for the hot tub are supplied. We stayed at Rowan for a chilled week for my birthday. It was fantastic & very clean. It's a very private lodge. They supplied large fantastic quality towels for the hot tub which saved us going home with towels to wash. They also supply 2 bath robes. All I would say is Skyes get to know what is supplied at the properties you advertise as I was told by one of your members of staff via text there would not be bath robes & a hairdryer at the lodge. Thank you Adam for a lovely stay we hope to be back one day.
