"Lovely modern well equipped cottage with stunning views of the Nevis range from both the main lounge area and also the mezzanine area."
Good base for exploring the nevis, Loch ness and cairngorm regions. The added benefit of being able to chill and watch the many varieties of birds that visit the garden.
Thank you very much for the positive feedback, we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Orion lodge and we hope to see you again sometime in the future.

"Need to be aware owners live on site in cabin in rear garden and use garage at front of property as a work shop"
Its unfortunate you were left with this impression. For clarity we don't live on site. On occasion we do stay in the garden cabin accommodation to cover for our regular housekeeper and any maintenance needs. The garage is used for storage only Property Owner

"Orion Lodge is the best lodge I have stayed in by far."
A lot of care and planning has gone into it which made it extra special. We are a family from Portsmouth on the south coast of England. 3 pensioners, 2 X 40 somethings and a 7 year old, not forgetting our little Chihuahua. The whole lodge was greatly equipped, especially the kitchen that had everything we needed and more. Didn’t get to use the log burner unfortunately as the heating is set to 20° and we were lucky with the weather. The views are fantastic, had 2 very quiet neighbours, sheep to the right, chickens along the drive, lots of birds on the feeders and tree’s, easy to find on Google maps. Sadly a previous guest had left their dog unattended so there was some minor damage to the patio door, but doesn’t effect anything. Owners made it very clear dogs are not allowed on furniture, beds or to be left alone for that reason. Please respect their wishes as it really is a lovely place. The lodge is beautiful and I would highly recommend it. A handy little Spar shop and post office is at the end of the road, turn left as you leave the lodge drive, and the bottle bank a mile away in the other direction. Fort William high street was nice, as was the Morrisons and we had a meal in the Brewers Fayre. My only complaint, which is nothing in the greater scheme of things, were the cushions and pillows being on the flat side. Thankfully we always take our own pillows for that reason. The utility room is a bonus as I got most of my laundry done before leaving. I can’t thank Alan and Pam enough for creating such a beautiful holiday home. If I ever brave the 500 mile drive again Orion Lodge will be at the top of my list. Thank you!

"Great views across the Nevis mountain range and a good location as a base for exploring the area."
Quiet and peaceful lodge to relax in after an active day out. Well equipped generally and we would recommend to others. A few niggles to comment on; the beds were OK, but the duvets and pillows could do with being replaced. Also, the bins in the bathroom had not been emptied, one of the recycling bins in the kitchen was full, and the dishwasher had not been emptied. Small things, but first impressions on a holiday are important.

"Orion Lodge was the perfect location to explore the Highlands."
We were almost always less than an hour and a half from most locations we wanted to visit. The view from the backyard was spectacular and the windows upstairs and downstairs allowed us to see it all the time. The lodge was spacious, the kitchen was a dream, the laundry room was so convenient and the separate lounging areas made it nice for our family to spread out. I cannot say enough about how nice our lodging was. We loved it and would stay here again if we return.

"Lovely spot with views over the mountains, lots of birds on the feeders."
Good sociable space, comfortable beds and all the facilities you could want. The only downside was that the weather was very hot and we were unable to open the windows in the evening and at night because of the midges so it was uncomfortably hot - good idea to take fans for the bedrooms. The area is full of things to do and magnificent scenery.
