"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

A great week had by us all .

"Very enjoyable stay."
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.

Very peaceful surroundings, well equipped and perfect indoor and outdoor space for us. Owners were very kind and the house was very clean and comfortable. Thank you!

"Really enjoyed staying at West Lodge, lovely location, walking distance to cafe and loch."
West lodge was very well equipped like a home from home, hope to return.
-
"Had an amazing holiday."
The lodge was everything we expected in a great location. We bumped into our hosts at the local farm shop who were extremely friendly and helpful. We will definitely be staying here again and would recommend this property to anyone.
-
"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!
-
"An amazing property, in a beautiful location."
Owners respected your privacy, but we're only a phone call away. Second time we've been to West Lodge, can't wait to rebook.
-
"We had a very relaxing stay at West Lodge."
The property and surroundings are full of character, comfortable, spacious, well equipped and, although we visited during a snowy February, warm and cosy.
-
"Amazing lodge, Diane was really helpful and provided all the information needed."
The lodge was stocked with all the appliances needed. We will be back
-
"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.

"The pictures did not do justice to the garden- which was lovely."
Very peaceful house in great location. Helpful owners.
-
"West Lodge is highly recommended, The property has everything you need to enjoy the holiday, the owners- Diane and Alastair were very helpful and friendly - and of course the welcome pack of goodies were very nice."
..the property exceeded expectations - kitchen facilities,cleanliness and comfort with a homely feeling.....Wifi included . The secluded grounds and garden space is great for enjoying a drink and listening to all the wildlife around. Amazing local scenery and the wider area has a lot to offer, overall a very enjoyable weeks holiday.
-
"We had a wonderful stay at West Lodge, could recommend it highly enough!"
Beautiful house in a beautiful setting, even saw a Deer in the garden ....just amazing ☺️ Same for the Reeki Linn Waterfall and the Loch both a definite must, then either to Peel Farm or The Wee Bear before heading back to chill and enjoy both inside and outside space and scenery.

"The property was lovely and the area is very good."
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!
-
"West Lodge was amazing, the very small walk to the Loch is a must (less than 100m away)."
Lots of places near by for walks, which was ideal for me and my dog. The owners didn't interfere in our holiday, but was always a phone call away. We'll impressed will definitely be returning.
-
"Lodge was spotless with ample cleaning supplies."
The lodge was spacious, full of character and sits in a beautiful part of Scotland. Plenty of room for 6 people and 3 cars. The owners were very easy to communicate with.
-
"We all had an absolute blast, when the owner contacted me she offered to put up Christmas decorations for us and the house looked so cosy and inviting, we had absolutely everything we wanted from our stay at West Lodge and would highly recommend the place to anyone who is looking for a chilled out, relaxed, tranquil and stress free time."
The views to be had on any walk you go on are absolutely amazing and the Loch is so beautiful and the walk is such a short distance from the house. We had an amazing Christmas thank you. The Redmans.
-
"The whole experience was amazing."
Lovely house. Lovely people.
-
"Very friendly welcome, perfect situation for walks and exploring this part of Scotland."
Enjoyed being so close to the Loch, great for wildlife, we're sure we spotted a couple of Ospreys. The Peel farm shop is a short walk away ideal for breakfast, then there the Wee Bear Cafe in the other direction with their mouthwatering cake selection!
-
"There were 6 of us and a dog, the location, local amenities and house itself were absolutely perfect."
5 minutes from the Loch, a coffee shop/lunch venue, 10 mins drive from a shop but you still feel like you are in the middle of a beautiful countryside! Couldn't recommend the property or the lovely property owners enough.
-
"Great house in an idyllic location ."
full of original features and bonus of open fire. very homely and well equipped. owners are 5 minutes away by phone call if you need them but otherwise you are left alone. great period property. would benefit from having an extra toilet - I can imagine it might get tricky if there were 6 people staying. we were fine just my husband myself and the dog. Loch is 150metres down the lane. perfect for swimming in and using a kayak- we did both. loved it. I’m sure we will be back.
-
"The lodge was a delight with every comfort provided."
. Wonderful walk to Loch through rhodedendrums which were at there best when we were there. Could not find spot pictured in photographs though. But apart from that we will return next year. A perfect location ror a holiday , central for so much wonderful scenery and also close to coast.
-
"Fantastic house, it was far better than a similar house we booked last year through a different company!"
The house was everything we had hoped for and was very comfortable. Alastair came and checked we were ok and could work everything and then left us well alone. Great place and I thoroughly recommend it.
-
"The lodge was just a hundred metres away from the lodge, which meant that my husband could canoe at anytime of the day or late evening!"
He had a fantastic time looking at the beaver dams and the wildlife, very peaceful and serene. The lodge has a very authentic look with fires in all the bedrooms and the lounge. 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.
-
"We spent a very enjoyable week at West Lodge."
The house is very spacious but aso comfortable and cosy, and in a beautiful setting with an abundance of wildlife all around. Although in a rural setting the house is within easy reach by car to explore this lovely part of Scotland. There are also numerous walks just by stepping outside the door. There was so much more we wanted to see and do but simply ran out of time! We wish we had booked 2 weeks instead of just the 1, so intend to return in the future.
-
"The cottage was in a rural location so quiet and peaceful."
Comfy beds and lots of towels. Cleanliness wasn’t 100% and it would have been nice to have deckchairs as the weather was beautiful and we only had a bench to sit on.
Thank you for your feedback. In the back garden there is a picnic table with bench seating and in the front garden a small bistro style table and chairs set. Additionally we do have deckchairs in the shed but the unexpected Easter heatwave took us by surprise. We would have been happy to pop round and sort these out for you on request Property Owner
-
"The property is unique and has real character."
Set in amongst nature, it's the perfect location to really get away from it all. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and hope to visit again. The owners are extremely accommodating and couldn't have been kinder. This house is a rare gem and hugely recommended.
-
"Had a lovely relaxing holiday, absolutely loved the cottage, Alistair was a great host, would definitely like to return"
-
"Lovely area to be in at this time of year."
Scenery is stunning with the colours of Autumn. Plenty of wildlife to see when dog walking especially at the Loch if you're there early morning or dusk. Peel Farm cafe is great for food and the adjoining shop has some lovely gifts etc. Glamis Castle is a great day out and only 20 mins away by car.
-
"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.
-
"The Lodge was everything we hoped for and more."
It is a wonderful house and a lovely private garden. We had a fantastic stay, the Lodge had everything anyone could ask for. It was a short stroll through the woods to a beautiful loch. The owners are lovely and only minutes away should you need them. My sons, the dog and I had a wonderful time. Bikes can be hired locally, which my sons did. Highly recommended.
