  • "Especially upon arrival you will be positively surprised."

    The house is larger than expected and the land around it is enormous. The house is nicely screened and offers a lot of privacy. The interior space is enormous. The seats in the living room are great. The facilities are more than fine. The beds are good. Toilet directly at the downstairs bedroom is a plus. The place is a good base to explore the area where there is also plenty to do. The owners are approachable and friendly. There are a few small points of attention that deserve some attention. I would have the gutters emptied and there are a lot of cobwebs on the window frames (on the outside). However, these are very minor things.

    Thank you Ronald for the helpful feedback, we do have difficulty cleaning all the windows outside especially upstairs on a same day changeover we do this monthly though so it will be attended to Property Owner

    Just the two of us (+dog) but this property will easily accommodate 6 people. Owner was in touch prior to stay to ensure we would have everything we required. Great location, peaceful with good access to various local attractions. Would definitely book again.

  • "We felt very comfortable in the house."

    It is surrounded by nature in a quiet location close to the lake. The rooms are all very large, clean and well-kept. There are 2 toilets in the house, one with a shower tray above and a small toilet with a sink below. The owners are very nice and took care of everything. The good location of the house in the Lowlands enabled us to visit Glasgow and Edinburgh, but also Inverness. But there are also various worthwhile places in the surrounding area. We went to the Peel Farm several times to shop or have coffee. Glamis Castle and Reekie Linn waterfall are also very close by. We would love to come back.

  • "We have just returned from an excellent break at West lodge."

    The house is great, fully equipped with everything you could need and feels really homely and spacious. It has three large comfortable bedrooms and the owners were happy to provide a cotbed for our little one which meant one less thing to pack. The area itself is beautiful, lots of walks not far from the house and having the loch to the rear was a nice bonus. Would definitely recommend!

  • "West Lodge is an excellent base camp for anyone that likes a walking and wildlife watching holiday."

    There’s plenty of wildlife to be seen including red deer, red squirrels, pine martens, red kites, Osprey and beavers all in the local area. It is also an easy drive to the Cairngorms where there are some beautiful walks! West Lodge itself is well presented, has well established gardens which are filled with songbirds and is in a quiet & peaceful location. It has all the facilities that you need for a comfortable stay. We would definitely stay there again and I would recommend to other.

    I contacted the owners who were very helpful and friendly. They were there if needed but kept a distance. The information on the Sykes website however contradicted it self and was incorrect, they say it's circumstances, but this is the third time I've used them and they got it wrong.

  • "We had a great week and will return."

    House has everything including a beautiful big lounge and fireplace, and huge bedrooms. Great walks from the door , cycling around the area was stunning , very few cars in May which was perfect , can’t ever imagine the roads getting that busy at other times too! Great walk around the Loch and a couple of nearby places to sit outside for a coffee and a relax. Cairngorms just up the road, stunning countryside all around. Beds comfy, kitchen has everything. Not an enclosed garden so had to keep dog on lead while outside but a terrier just can’t stand still! Other dogs may be fine if they do as they are asked! Excellent , well recommend . And so quiet too!

The lodge was large, warm and cosy. An ideal location to get away from it all, whilst still only being a few miles away from Alyth or Forfar for any big shopping. On the last day we found the Wee Bear Cafe in Lintrathen Village, just a short distance away from the lodge, which had homemade cakes and light lunches, all delicious would recommend a visit.

  • "Fabulous location rural and rustic."

    The property was over 100 years old and had many of the original fixtures. Modernised in tthe important areas of the kitchen and bathroom. The area as described was rural. Far from the madding crowd. With a car we could pop to any nearby facility. Breakfast at Peel Farm and coffee shop. Shopping in Blairgowrie. Pub in Alyth. The living area at West Lodge was very spacious. The kitchen was great for cooking or eating. Dining table in living room was big for larger groups. The bedrooms were huge. Each bed was different so pick your bed carefully. Loads of draws and cupboard space. The bathroom was modern again a huge room. I used the shower only but equally the bath was there if needed. Many easy walks on nearby flat areas including the loch. Loch has angling. Golf courses are plentiful. Was very enjoyable stay with a brief visit from the owner to ensure every thing was perfect.
