  Hubby & I loved our stay at Rionnag Lodge; Terry & Janet's attention to detail is second to none!

  Immaculately clean & fresh on arrival, where everything you could possibly need, (and more,) is provided. We recieved an extremely generous welcome hamper, (which was very much appreciated & enjoyed throughout our stay). This place really is 'top notch', & then some! We watched the Northern Lights dance and enjoyed several melting sunsets over the Minch & islands from the balcony! The warming wood burning stove, lifts the spirits on dismal, drizzly days and the outdoor facilities, (hot tub & waterfall shower,) are a welcome treat after a rigorous walk, or long day out sightseeing! Sadly, we didn't have time to try the fresh seafood, (courtesy of host Terry, who is also the local fish guy,) but we did sample the tremendous steak from local butcher - Ken Morrison, (Gairloch); so good, we went back for more the very next day! Gairloch is a wonderful community, well served by the farm shop, butchers, Gale community centre, book shop, (and much more); all of which - we thoroughly recommend. So, to the property itself - a shining star, (Rionnag means star,) in the Wester Ross firmament! Staying in this house is like recieving a week long hug! Giant, wooden bath you can float in! Waterfall shower. Under floor heating. Flumptious towels. Cosy dressing gowns. Tremendously comfy bed in the feature bedroom, (can't comment on other beds, as we only used the one bedroom.) Spacious & luxurious accommodation. Every mod con, (including coffee maker & hand blender, for soup making)! Stunning location. Peace & quiet. Fabulous service all round; 100% recommend . . . only sorry we had to leave a day early due to work commitments . . . we will be back!

  The chalet was very clean and had everything we needed.

  It was very quiet and had nice views across the valley from the balcony. We saw red kites flying overhead and were told of red kite feeding everyday the other side of Strathpeffer. Sheep, chickens and highland cattle were all seen in the fields by the chalet. It was a bit tricky to find initially but the friendly host quickly came out and lead us there and explained all we needed to know about the property. We enjoyed the welcoming wine and chocolates very much. We were lucky enough to be around when Castle Leod was open to the public. It was very interesting and worth a visit. There are many walks in the area and scenic drives and a distillery at Muir of Ord just down the road. Rogie Falls to see the salmon leaping was another highlight. Loch Ness was easily accessible and we managed a day trip to the Isle of Skye with a lovely drive through the mountains.

  Cute, clean place in a very convenient location.

  We enjoyed a basket of goodies left for us as well as a nice kitchen with cookware in much better shape than many rentals we have stayed in. The bedroom toward the back has windows that open towards rentals across the street that have decks and porches facing them, so if you are a light sleeper you will want to stay in the room at the front of the house whose windows open toward the quiet neighborhood that the Hideout is located in. Unfortunately the shower handle that controls the temperature was missing (I assume it has been broken and taken off). We were unable to adjust the temperature of the shower, which unfortunately only put out water that was much too hot for some of our party. Overall we had a very nice stay but for a problem like the shower being broken I would have expected the owner or management company to reach out before our arrival.

  Rionnag Lodge was beautiful to stay in for the week.

  The house had everything we needed and the lovely hamper and Prosecco was very much appreciated. The house was spotlessly clean, lovely furnishings and has magnificent views. We met Terry a few times and he was lovely, very friendly and welcoming. The fish was delicious as well - thank you! The surrounding area is lovely, pebble and sandy beaches around, lovely lighthouse, great little shops in the village a short drive away and everyone we met was very friendly! The Farmshop, Info centre and cafe and the museum were all great. We’d love to go back after Easter another year to take advantage of the kayaking, horse riding and boat trips on offer but we got an amazing week this year with exceptional weather and a very laid back atmosphere in the village. Thanks very much for our holiday, we’d absolutely recommend!

  Cracking wee place to stay and so close to what ever you are on Skye to do!

  Cleanliness was ok, (I know it’s a pet friendly accommodation) but was quite dusty throughout the house! Towels although clean were full of old stains and maybe just at the end of their lifespan and needing renewed. Welcome pack stated a starter pack for logs, no logs just kindling and no small milk! (Again very minor details!) We were stuck at checkout due to weather as there was no sat for the small hill out of the Cul de Sac. Not owners problem but might be worth asking for a salt bin as no one touches the cul de sac at all in the bad weather! Was a sheet of ice when we tried to leave. I know I am being persnickety but we are all paying a lot of money to stay in places now a days and a little bit extra attention to detail would rocket this small hideout to a 5 star accommodation.
