Loved it, the lodge was idyllic and set in gorgeous natural surroundings. The hot tub was always a perfect end to a day of sight seeing, lovely wind down together with the Welcome Basket containg fizz and a beer. Perfect. Could not fault this accommodation.

Excellent lodge and location, really cosy and private. The owner couldn't have been more helpful. Very dog friendly location, literally nextdoor to The Beagle Country Inn which serves excellent food and only 10 minutes walk from a lovely sandy beach.

Beautifully appointed lodge with everything you could possibly need. All the furnishings were stylish and new, the beds super comfy and the whole lodge spotlessly clean. We loved the thoughtfulness of the owners who kindly provided a welcome basket to get us started. Located at the edge of the site with woodland views and lots of birdlife.

Lovely lodge in lovely location. Had everything we needed. Very comfortable beds. Great to have choice of places to sit outside. Didnt realise it was located on a complex but so well spaced and quiet that it didnt matter at all. Even had badgers and foxes to watch. Loved this area of Scotland and will be back. Thank you.

We had a fantastic break at Driftwood lodge. The accommodation is cozy and very comfortable and is so well equipped with everything. The hot tub is luxurious and great fun to relax in and is so well maintained. We enjoyed short drives to the coastal villages for nice walks and pub grub. The Deer park safari next door is a must visit and great valueRead more for money. The Steamboat Inn was our favourite meal. Great communication by owners who provided a lovely welcome pack, a nice touch. Hide

Fantastic, relaxing break. Location was perfect, very quiet but with the option of the pub 50 yards away for food, drink or quiz. 10 min walk to the beach, lots of rabbits to see and beautiful views. Would recommend it particularly for families with dogs

This is a beautiful, peaceful location and a well appointed and well equipped lodge. Very comfortable living and sleeping accomodation. The hot tub is a great bonus and perfect for stargazing on a clear night. The nearby deer park is a must visit on the deer safari and the cafe is great too.
