  Visited twice this year April and September we had already booked a lodge for September and last minute decided to try caravan also in April .Found the caravan entrance door mat grubby and crumbs in cupboards everywhere else fine. I have two Labradors we took their beds they were never in any of the bedrooms. On leaving I hoovered cleaned all benches cooker, oven nothing was left dirty. On return I received a letter stating it had to have a deep clean to say I was shocked and insulted is an understatement.We left immediately after hoovering and everything was left spotless bins emptied you name it.I can only assume I have missed dogs hairs which can only have been in the lounge We did pay for the dogs and surely that covers any hairs left behind from the dogs. There was no damage no spill no marks apart from the grubby door mat that was already there. . Because we had already paid deposit for September we did go back to the lodge .I did not enjoy as I was constantly worrying about dogs hairs.I definitely would not go back as of all the beautiful places we have been to we have never received a letter like this. As for the owners I would have appreciated a detailed report of what the problem was to inform me that it needed a deep clean which I strongly dispute. The owner said she checked the property herself but did she check it previously ,if so why didn’t she check the cupboards and remove grubby front door mat. I respect other people’s property as I do my own. This time on leaving lodge I made a video of the whole property including oven/cooker.I only wish I done this previously. It’s very unfair in receiving a letter like this which I think is probably due to dogs hairs. We were recommended these lodges by our friends Chris and Joan who go every year for 2weeks and also in December We we’re there together inSeptember they have the end lodge they are also our neighbours back home and they fully understand how I feel and would not go back. As for customer service I notice how she acknowledged the people on the next lodge and had a few words with them and yet never said a hello when we were on the porch.Still waiting for explanation on how some dogs hairs require a deep clean.Definitely not recommend this place for that reason.She needs to be honest and state what the issue was and admit she got it wrong as I can’t accept deep clean.

  We had some issues with the water.

  The owner tried hard to fix this during our stay, which more or less resolved the issue. It did require quite some work so it seemed. It was mentioned at arrival that the water is not drinkable so only to be used for showering. Fresh drinking water is supplied in bottles, so be aware of this. On the Sykes site it is mentioned there is a dishwasher, oven, (cosy) dining area and sleeping sofa. None of these are there. If you expect to eat at a table, you won't find that there (no table, no chairs to fit at a table). We did mention the missing dishwasher to sykes, they now have taken that from the site. Also, most doors jam, there is some leaking at the door to the bedroom. The surrounding area is messy, lots of debris like old doors, gas tanks, metal scrap, etc. and not much of the large area can be used due to high grass, fenced off, steep slope. Parking should be done carefully, as it is very easy to sink away in the loose gravel. All in all, it is very quiet, beautiful views on mountains (and deer!) and in general a cosy accommodation. But when staying there for an extended period, you notice things are not working well. Advice is to take your own sharp knife if you plan to cook there, since there is no way of cutting meat or anything. Same for hanging clothes to dry, there are no (wooden) pegs so we bought our own.

  Crabtree lodge and Mossyard is a portal to another world, a place where you can relax and reconnect, where the days are never the same and the sky tells many stories in a day. NEVER EVER EVER EVER.... have we stayed in such a BRILLIANT equipped holiday accommodation even a blender which was a god send to us for our disabled daughter! The attention to detail within the lodge is lovely from the art work on the walls to the bedding and lovely fluffy towels, the kitchen is equipped beyond belief. The Christmas decorations were enough for our current situation we knew it was Christmas but not in your face Christmas it was tactful and thoughtful. Thank you for sharing Mossyard with us this Christmas very special memories were made with the magic and sanctuary of Mossyard. Definitely book Gather at Laggans up the hill breathtaking views and food amazing and don't miss highly reccommend is The 1 Little Farm shop which is on the farm @1littlefarm for all your local produced foods!!

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Ben Luna this October.

  It's the perfect Oct holiday we could've hoped for. The lodge is situated on a hill, surrounded by lush greenery. As soon as we drove through the gate, we felt relaxed and we knew instantly this was a very special place. We were met by the lovely Sarah who showed us around and made sure we were comfortable finding things. The lodge was so well equipped we wouldn’t have needed to bring anything! It even had a baby grand piano which the kids loved playing. The lovely welcome hamper, the attention to detail, and without a doubt the amount of work that must have gone into preparing the lodge showed just how much Sarah and her team valued the experience of their guests. We really appreciated it and I would not hesitate to recommend Ben Luna to anyone who wants a perfect holiday in the Scottish highlands.

  The chalet was, generally, in poor repair.

  a) outdated and old cooker, microwave and utensils. Cups heavily tea-stained (we scrubbed them before use) b) shower room mouldy; shower door ill - fitting. Old wall mounted fan heater. Mouldy window blind. Shower basin area inside and out - heavy buildup of grey, sloughy mould. c) bedroom areas very small. Bed linen smelled mouldy and damp. d) outside decking area very slippery when wet - no warning signs for visitors. There was a general damp and grubby feel about the chalet which had built up over the years. The woodwork had been heavily painted in an attempt to cover up. Poor value for money.
