Drimnatorran Farm Lodge

Just arrived back home from our 2nd visit to Drimatoran Farm Lodge and happy to say it was as good as the first time, everything you could need for a relaxing break from the facilities to the setting of the cottage could not be better.

A perfect base for exploring Ardnamurchan and the surrounding areas and they're wild life. Will definitely be back again in the near future

Really enjoyed our stay in this cosy cottage.

Beds very comfy, living room cosy with the real fire. Being an avid cook I would eat that the kitchen could use a few more mixing bowls, baking trays and dishes for cooking meals in the oven.

A really cosy cottage with really well appointed kitchen and fuel for the fire.

Any problems were resolved really quickly. Thank you!

An excellent place to stay if you enjoy peace and quiet.

Everything you need is in the property and the owner is on hand if you need anything. Would definitely go back

A beautiful, comfortable home with gracious hosts who go the extra mile for their guests.

Really enjoyed our week at Drimnattoran Farm Lodge.

Lovely accommodation with comfy beds, excellent Log Burner and all the facilities you would ever need. Clean and cosy and great for relaxing away from it all. Thank you for a fab holiday!

This was a great place to get away from it all.

Very tranquil location and comfortable accommodation with functional facilities. The hosts were very communicative and gave very helpful recommendations.

A comfortable house in a very peaceful location.

Very well equipped. My boys enjoyed the coffee pods. Comfortable beds and we all slept very well. Our dog loved having his own field to run around in and the views from the top were lovely. Easy access to the village along the edge of the river. Very grateful to the owners for assisting with washing as the machine wasn’t working. A lovely part of the world to visit.

The setting for Drimnatorran Farm Lodge was lovely, and because it is truly a working farm, we enjoyed seeing the chickens in their enclosure and the cows grazing in the meadow above the lodge.

We were also able to purchase fresh eggs collected from the farm, which was a treat. The house was comfortable and the large eat-in kitchen well-stocked with equipment and appliances to make meal prep convenient. Beds were comfortable. The host, Adrian, was very welcoming, most helpful with suggestions on places to hike and things to do as well as restaurants. A couple of suggestions for improvement are to do a thorough cleaning of the kitchen, including cabinets and drawers, and to inspect the lighting in each room for bulb replacement.

A very remote and beautiful location and the owners of the property are next door and are extremely helpful and friendly.

The property is very clean, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable, with a big mezzanine sitting room with lots of comfortable couches. The property has a spacious bathroom with roll-top bath, with a very comfortable 4-poster bed in the main bedroom and we would stay again. A lot of thought was put into making this property comfortable and cosy.

This is our 4th stay and each time it gets better and better.

It really is home from home with everything you could wish for, including the sunshine :) It is the most amazing place and the dogs love it as much as us. I can't praise Adrian and Caroline enough for their friendly, knowledgeable hosting. Hope to see you guys again soon x

Brilliant property, the hosts were lovely made you feel welcome.

The farm lodge was in an ideal location for walking locally and also travelling in the car. We all enjoyed our week, wished we could have spent longer as a week wasn’t enough.

Wonderful holiday with our two children and dog, the cottage was will equipped and comfortable with plenty of space, very quiet and peaceful location with fantastic views and a ideal base for walks and days out

Good points: Location for walks and village access v good Tucked away and private lane Kitchen equipment plentiful Abundant tv access in rooms Smart TV in lounge Logs provided for log burner.

Wifi worked well Bad points: Whole place felt cluttered with unnecessary ornaments and fluffy rugs. Felt chaotic. Down stairs bath room smelt of damp and black mold in tiles, not a pleasant place Kitchen, whilst well equipt with many gadgets was left cluttered due to too many gadgets Property is linked / semidetached and noise transfer thru link door from owners many dogs upset our dog late into the night. Parking for two cars in the space given was tight. Farm is not so much a farm more of a kennels. Whole cottage could do with refurb. Felt tired and out dated in decor and furniture. Improvements could make the cottage alot better. Overall, enjoyed the week but bad points were more dominant than good.

Lovely place to stay, no issues whatsoever, very quiet and scenic.

A great base to explore this part of Scotland. Nice owners, very nice to talk to, would definitely consider staying again. Craig & Liz Povey, Lacy, Megan & Rolo

Perfect house for a get-away stay for four plus a dog, with plenty of space if there had been six of us.

Very comfortable and well equipped, and very clean on arrival. The owners were friendly, always available but never intrusive. Lovely surroundings and an easy walk to the hotel and bar, plus village shop and amenities. A perfect week and we all came away relaxed and keen to return to explore this bit of Scotland again. Thank you!

It is a lovely place.

The lodge is cosy and you find everything you need. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. The property owners are very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay at Drimnatorran Farm Lodge.

We spent 3 weeks here in June and enjoyed the holiday.

The House was lovely, clean and comfortable, it supplied everything we needed – the walk in shower was excellent and the kitchen had everything anyone could need. It was truly a home from home. Caroline came to welcome us and offer advice of great places to eat and other than that the owners were not intrusive at all and the duck eggs were great!! If we had one [very] small complaint about the house itself, it was that the living room was a bit over-furnished, as another settee has been added since the photographs on the website which covered the full height window and meant opening that window was difficult due to having to lean over the settee to reach it, which considering the really high temperatures we had the first week was needed! However, our main problem was the enclosed field. We have a very enthusiastic German Shepherd and are conscious that he is not a nuisance to anyone, therefore the main thing we look for when renting a property is an enclosed garden, so the field was the main reason we rented this property. However, the grass was uncut and very high, which meant during the next 2 weeks when we had quite a lot of rain, when we took him out there, we ended up soaked to our knees. Also the steps up to it were uneven and difficult to negotiate as they are set into the back and curved in an arc with a steep soil gap at one side. The bracken on the bank was overhanging at least 2 steps and unavoidable when wet, so we couldn’t really take advantage of that field. A small amount of maintenance, such as cutting the bracken back and mowing a path around the field would have made all the difference. As the outside of the house is a thoroughfare to the farm, so not enclosed and there were free range chickens wandering about, we couldn’t allow him outside at all without supervision. It’s a very small point and shouldn’t put anyone off as people have commented that their dogs enjoyed this field, but they were there when grass would never reach that height. So it did spoil it a little for us – and him. We’re very happy to recommend the house to everyone, just want them to be warned if they go in the height of summer, the field might be a problem.

The house is beautiful the beds are great best sleep I have had in ages, I have back problems and this is first holiday I had no sore back.

Everything you need is there just like home from home. Location is lovely very peaceful, we enjoyed our stay and didn’t want to leave. My 91yr old mum loved it and enjoyed sitting outside on the lovely garden furniture which was also comfy. I would Recommend staying here for a peaceful relaxed holiday with every comfort you could wish for. We would definitely go back

Everything was lovely, clean, spacious,well equipped and very friendly.

Lovely location

The cottage and our hosts were outstanding,the area beautiful and the community very friendly.

However 2 weeks before we started our holiday the Corran ferry broke down. This left the only access to the cottage by driving an extra 42 miles with 35 of the miles using single track roads with passing places. Our hosts said that they had notified you. People booking with other agencies were informed of this problem. You did not inform us

we had a wonderful stay and would love to return.

The only negative thing was having to strip the beds. We felt bad enough leaving , we could have stayed forever and stripping the beds ourselves sort of took a bit of our holiday time away. Never had to do that before and didn't like it. The dog absolutely loved the field .

Just back from an amazing week.

The Lodge is just fantastic with every home comfort you could ever need including a wonderful log burner to keep us toasty when it snowed. Caroline & Adrian are so helpful and accommodating. i would recommend staying here to anyone. We will definitely be back!

The area is outstanding.

The property is well situated for walks in the area. The peninsula is really worth a visit if you’ve never been before. I could have easily stayed much longer. There is a lovely drive to Loch Shiel, if I’d had time I would have walked to the loch from where that road ends. The view of the area from the top of this road was beautiful. Highlights were the warm welcome, the log burner was lit and the Christmas tree lights were on, candles lit too. After a long drive this was great. Kilcamb Lodge in Strontian. Superb food and location. The Oakwoods. The excellent log burner in the property. The very well equipped kitchen. The bath, with plenty of hot water. Comfortable seating in the lounge, this doesn’t always happen I know. Sanna beach. Singing carols in the Ariundle Centre and Kates freshly made shortbread. The breakfast there is good too. Chatting with Adrian about how they arrived in this part of the world. Experiencing hail, snow, rain and the occasional glimpse of blue sky at Christmas. Last of all, but not least, the peace and quiet at Drimnatorran.

A fantastic holiday house in an ideal setting.

So enjoyed the peace and quiet of the surroundings and the property was so comfy, cosy and well equipped with everything we needed. The use of the field for our dog was a treat and really appreciated, loads of room to chase his Frisbee. Thank you so much for a fabulous holiday.

Had really great week at Drimnatorran farm lodge, beautiful settling in Strontian and really well equipped with everything you could need.

Bed (four poster) was the comfiest I've ever slept in and all rooms were a good size. Plenty of walking straight from the cottage or further afield with lots of wildlife as well. Strontian itself has a small shop and a hotel with a great little bar which did lovely food as did the local cafes. Lastly the owners who were fantastic and went out of their way to help with a flat tyre and supplied us with duck eggs for the week. Will definitely be back in the near future Colin and Donna + Debra.& Mike

We had a great time at the lodge, the house was fantastic had everything you would need plus extras like netflix, games, lots of dvds to keep you occupied when weather is not great.

Beautiful walks. The owners were the lovliest couple and very helpfull we will be back.

We have been to strontain several times but me and my family feel this the best by far the hosts we're very accommodating the house was lovely the wild life right on our door step was amazing

The house was great, spacious with a lot of facilities.

The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Milk and biscuits left for us but I would have preferred a bottle of water or prior warning that the tap water is from a spring/bore hole and was tea coloured and tasted unpleasant. The location was great - less than an hour to Fort William/Glen Nevis, about an hour to Mull and Glencoe, just over an hour to Sanna beach and Loch Moidart so a really good base for getting to a lot of places. The local area is really nice too, very close to some decent hills and lochs and has a small village shop for essentials. The upstairs bed was incredibly soft so hurt my back but the others were fine. It was grubby in places like it had been cleaned very quickly (inside freezer and oven were dirty but the bathrooms were clean). The oven door didn't close and the function symbols were gone so it was a guess on how to use it! Decent accomodation in a lovely area, in the middle of nowhere but not too isolated.

Great place to stay.

Very friendly and hospitable hosts. Always willing to help.

Very nice stay, as discussed with the very friendly owners.

The cottage was very comfortable, nicely furnished and spacious, in a beautiful location.

Amazing stay.

The owners were so welcoming and really helpful. The cottage had everything we needed. It was a great base for exploring and we are already thinking of booking again for next year! Thanks for a great holiday.

We had a wonderful stay at Drimnatorran Farm Lodge.

There was ample room for 5 adults and our dog, who loved the field where he could run. The cottage was cosy with everything we could possibly need. The wood burner was much appreciated. It is in a beautiful, peaceful spot with local amenities not too far away. Just wish we’d been able to stay longer!

A lovely, spacious place to stay.

Fully-equipped kitchen for cooking proper meals. Plentiful supply of logs for the burner. Very comfy beds. Friendly owners - living adjacent, but never intrusive. Excellent location on the edge of the village, which has two shops, cafe, and fuel. Strontian is a perfect base for many hills and other activities. Easily accessible along a good A road from the Corran ferry.

Everything was as it was listed, very friendly and helpful owners, would definitely recommend as a place for stay for anyone

Very comfortable cottage and very well equipped.

Quiet setting with pleasant outlook. Only problem oven is very hot so try 150 for 200.

Fantastic cottage in a stunning location.

Caroline & Adrian are brilliant hosts and are happy to share local knowledge with guests. We would have no hesitation in recommending Drimnatoran Lodge to family and friends.

Beautiful cottage, had everything needed and more.

Was so quiet and peaceful. Met the new owners Adrian (who never stopped working) and Caroline his wife, very nice people.

The accommodation was excellent.

New owners are very friendly and helpful. Had an amazing holiday. Hoping to rebook next year.
