The perfect location with lovely views across to the hills. Very peaceful and quiet. The lodge was Immaculately presented and spotlessly clean. The beds were extremely comfortable and the towels thick and fluffy. Their were a couple of walks from the doorstep which were ideal for our dog's evening walk. It was just perfect, absolute top marks. WellRead more done to the owners. Hide

If you're in need of peace, tranquility, beautiful scenery and a surfeit of gorgeous places to walk, Bengairn Lodges are for you. Unoverlooked, a host of wildlife outside the window and luxuriously kitted out, with a hot tub to boot and friendly, unobtrusive hosts...a highly recommended place to stay.

Beautiful decorated and equipped lodge situated next to a lock, a welcome box of local produce greeted us. Ideal for watching the many species of wildlife. Unique as there are only four lodges and therefore very peaceful. A hidden gem in a area of outstanding natural beauty, previously undiscovered by us. Will definitely revisit.
