Located in a perfect position for exploring this beautiful region of Scotland and close to the ferry to Tobamorry, the lodges are clean comfortable and well equipped (how many places will provide you with a food processor?). 
Your hosts are close by and very helpful. 
Wonderful local wildlife is to be found. During our stay we not only saw white tailed and golden eagles plus best of all Pine Martins and a many other birds. 
Could hardly be bettered. 
Like many other guests we look forward to a return visit.

Another fantastic week in Hooting Lodge. Jayne and Andrew are fabulous hosts and a mine of information on things to do in the area. The cabin is perfection - well equipped and so comfortable - and set in a beautiful woodland. Everything has been provided - cannot think of anything that could be improved. A wonderful, peaceful base from which to explore Ardnamurchan.

This was our second stay at Mingarry. We enjoyed our stay and found the lodge comfortable and convenient for local walks and local cycle rides. The area is very quiet and very interesting. The temperate rain forest and sea views are magnificent when viewed at walking pace or cycling pace.

Exceptional Location, Exceptional Accommodation, Exceptional Hosts.

We had a wonderful holiday at Hooting lodge. I have been to many self catering accommodation and this was the best by far. The owners have made sure there is everything you could possibly want to make your holiday wonderful . Location, cleanliness, wildlife, walks, beautiful scenery nearby.

Another amazing stay at Tooting Lodge, the accommodation is so well equip, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Jayne and Andrew make sure that your stay is as relaxed and hassle free as it can be and Jayne is always on hand to help and make sure you have everything you need. 
The birds and wildlife around the cabin keeps you entertained even when its raining, and watching the red squirrels while eating breakfast was always fun. 
There is so much to see and do in the area that you can fill your days easily, we took train trips, visited the Isle of Mull and much much more as this area of Scotland is so peaceful and beautiful there is plenty to see and do. 
Its always hard to leave but we will return next year, thanks again Jayne and Andrew.

With red squirrels beating a path to your door and so many birds on the feeders Tooting Lodge is just about the perfect place to unwind. 
Raining? No problem, the birds and squirrels will still keep you amused. If one has need for further stimuli then a quick perusal of the bookshelf or games cupboard should suffice. 
Aha, you think, there's bound to be some kitchen utensil not there. Not so. Whatever we needed was there. It really is the best kitchen you could wish for. We turned up with laden carrier bags of supplies but every essential was already there. I had to ration myself very carefuly, as there were packets of welcoming shortbread and an extremely moreish cake! 
Would we recommend it to others? Possibly not, as they might want to book our week! Honestly, it is just about the perfect place to stay with the most wonderful, generous hosts who seem to have thought of everything.

The lodges are on the edge of a little woodland which is enthralling to anyone who loves nature. 
There are always birds and red squirrels to spot on the numerous feeders. 
Jayne and Andrew are always on hand to answer any queries and offer any advice required. 
The local area offers so much to do. For us it was the walking and trips available. We took a cruise on the local Loch and the ferry over to Mull. Every day it was such a pleasure to return to our comfortable and extremely well equipped lodge. This was our fifth visit and it certainly won't be out last.

Another lovely stay at Mingarry this year. A great base to explore Ardnamurchan from, and a nice quiet & secluded place to stay after a day out. 
Just about everything you could need is provided by the hosts.

We had a truly wonderful fortnight in Hooting Lodge. Jayne is a thoughtful, caring, amazingly helpful and lovely host, and went beyond the call of duty to give us a fantastic stay. The lodge was immaculately clean and tidy, warm and cosy, and by far the best equipped self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in. The kitchen had all we could possibly ever need, and Jayne and Andrew had provided every map, guide book etc imaginable as well as folders crammed full with information for our stay. And then the wildlife - absolutely fantastic. Every day, we just saw so much at close hand - wow. This is a fab place in an amazingly beautiful and unspoilt location, and we will definitely be returning in the future.

Everything you could possibly need is provided, making it feel like a true home away from home. The lodge is spacious, comfortable, and beautifully kept — a perfect base for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Being able to sit and watch red squirrels right outside while sipping a cup of tea is just perfect. It’s such a special place, and we can’t wait to come back again.

Very well sited for exploring the Peninsula. Jayne and Andrew were excellent hosts. The information they provided about the area was well thought out, up-to-date and added greatly to our holiday. No problem recommending this place to other people.

Very comfortable cabin with everything well thought out and well provided for - even down to the garlic press. Jayne was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and there were abundant red squirrels in the woods, even a webcam where could could watch a blue tit nest box. There are a number of cameras set up to watch on the TV screen. 
A comprehensive information book was provided which had lots of details about things to do. There are multiple walks in the local area and boat trips on Sunart or out to Staffa and the Treshnish Isles. 
We hope to return as we really enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic cabin - spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable, and well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Lots of little extras are supplied - toiletries etc 
Wonderful location with beautiful scenery and lots of fabulous local walks. Also a perfect base for exploring further afield if required. 
Jayne and Andrew are the perfect hosts - nothing is too much trouble and they are very informative about the local area. Maps, walks and lots of tourist information is supplied in the cabin. 
That was our fifth visit and we cannot wait to return later in the year. 
I cannot recommend this property highly enough.

My husband and I enjoyed a great week in Tooting Lodge in early October. The lodge is really well equipped for self catering, and is very clean and comfortable and in a lovely woodland setting. The attention to detail in the lodge is fantastic as is the information contained in the folders for both the lodge and surrounding area. Jayne provided a warm welcome and gave us a few pointers for our stay of things to do based on our interests.
If we revisit Ardnamurchan we would have no hesitation re booking here.

What can we say? Such a lovely place to relax with so much comfort! Jayne and Andrew are fantastic hosts, the lodges are very cosy for a longer stay. Everything was taken care of, we didn't miss anything. We look forward to next year when we will return.

We had a wonderful week at Tooting Lodge. The location is very peaceful, ideal for spotting wildlife and a great place to escape to for relaxation. It was a fantastic base to explore Ardnamurchan, Morvern and surrounding areas.
The kitchen was very well equipped and the welcome items were great to have. The dining/living areas were really comfortable and even with 4 of us staying, felt spacious. The bedrooms were perfect for a restful sleep with warm bedding and plenty of storage space for clothes. It was great to have both a shower room and bathroom.
The lodge was 'sparkling' clean.
The maps and information folder were well used by us and helped us to choose what to do each day - there is so much to explore. I think we'll have to return to visit the places that we couldn't fit in!
