We have stayed many times and the lodge and owners ALWAYS exceed our expectations. It is like home from home. The wildlife sightings around are exceptional. Our score would be 100/10!!!! Thank you to Jayne and Andrew for all their hard work in making the lodge Covid secure in these challenging times.

We stayed at Mingarry Lodges last year and I must say it has made it difficult to go elsewhere in Scotland. Often one might go somewhere and it doesn’t quite match the first time, but once again Jayne and Andrew have exceeded our expectations in what are extremely difficult circumstances. They are Covid trained to ensure the safety of all their guests but still provided all the facilities as before. Meticulous cleaning throughout. Wildlife is truly exceptional and there is no need to travel or experience discomfort to enjoy it, it is literally right on your doorstep. Last year I was blown away by the variety of wildlife which was exceeded this year, probably because Jayne and Andrew cater for them as well as the guests. We will definitely be visiting again but it would appear that we need to book earlier because the popularity of this very personal wildlife haven is growing fast.

Having stayed in the lodges twice before we knew in advance that the property would be clean, comfortable and well equipped.

Hygiene is important, now more than ever and it was reassuring to know the high level of preparation that takes place between guests moving in and out.

The area is great for wildlife with golden eagles soaring around the tops of glens and red deer roaming the flanks of the hills and even seen just either side of the village.

The bird feeders were constantly in demand with many species seen.

Lots to do and see in the area without travelling large distances, a handy village store in Acharacle.

I would highly recommend the lodges for a holiday...and in October the midges were not too much of a nuisance but any regular visitor to Scotland goes prepared for the tiny blighters!

We drove up the drive to be welcomed with this beautiful lodge, hanging baskets in bloom . Inside the lodge was spotless, there was nothing you didint have in the kitchen. Fresh clean decor . Plenty of hot water. Cant fault the lodge It was just luxury and beautiful. The wildlife was amazing. Jayne and Andrew are so helpful and friendly. We have stayed all over Scotland in cottages and lodges and Mingarry is the best by far. Cant wait until next year .

Our stay at Mingarry Lodges was awesome. Jayne and Andrew have created a wonderful place to watch the local wildlife, so many birds it was amazing. The lodges are cosy, perfectly kitted out with everything (and more) you could possibly need, and a bumper information pack to help you decide how to spend your time in the area. The furniture and fittings are all in excellent condition, and scrupulously clean.

We had some lovely chats with Jayne, a truly lovely lady, and I’m finally glad to have met someone who spends more on wild bird food than I do!! Money very well spent :-)

It was wonderful watching the wildlife on the camera system they have set up, better than any TV show.

We had only been in the lodge two hours when we booked another stay next year, we are already looking forward to returning.

Thank you Jayne and Andrew, see you soon.

What a fantastic place to stay. Jayne and Andrew are so helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them.
The wildlife is fabulous both from the lodge and in the local area.
We love walking and found several wonderful walks ( lots of info in the lodge folders). Our favourites were to The Singing Sands and Blain Burn.
The scenery on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula is breathtaking.
We have already booked for next year.

Location of the lodges is excellent with easy access to the Ardnamurchan peninsula and many other surrounding locations with beautiful loch and mountain views in all directions. The facilities for viewing and experiencing wildlife from the lodges is amazing with visits from a great variety of birds and mammals. The furnishings were very good quality and the kitchen equipment provided for every need. There was also a very generous welcome pack which exceeded basics. The books about birds mammals and many other natural history subjects as well as a selection of OS maps were brilliant as was the information folders containing many local walks with maps and details. The local facilities in Atharacle, post office/store and the Tioram cafe are very good. We would recommend the boat trip on Loch Shiel and the Glenborrowdale visitors center too. Further afield is Glenfinnan with the visitors centre, monument and views of the famous viaduct and the Jacobite steam train.
During this our second week we saw an Otter at Singing Sands and White Tailed Sea Eagles at both Loch Shiel and Loch Sunart. The viewing hide at Resipole is worth a visit too.

This was the third time we have returned to Mingarry Lodges. Hooting lodge is an extremely pleasant place to stay. The lodge was clean, comfortable and very well equipped and the "goodies" that Jayne and Andrew provided in the kitchen were most appreciated. There are lots of wildlife to be seen around the lodge and pleasant walks near by. Further afield the scenery is stunning and again wildlife can present at any point in your journey. We saw a family of four white tailed eagles on our way to Sanna Bay so don't forget your binoculars! It was always pleasant to return to Hooting Lodge at the end of a day's exploring and watch the many birds on the feeders. Andrew and Jayne are very helpful hosts and aimed to make our stay as enjoyable and as relaxing as possible. We have booked again for next year.

Hooting Lodge is tucked in woodland and surrounded by wildlife - it was brilliant! The lodge was meticulously clean, with every care taken to protect us around Coronavirus. There was so much attention to detail and extra treats. My sons were very happy with the Wi Fi and watching night time wildlife on the tv via infra red cameras positioned around the lodge. Two lovely bedrooms and the lodge was very spacious and well laid out. Excellent value for money and we were able to go whale watching, see local historical sites and get to see the steam train over the Glenfinnan viaduct. We will definitely be returning.

This was our first stay at Mingarry Lodges having stayed at numerous other holiday homes in the area over the years. Hooting Lodge was absolutely spotless and a welcome pack was available on our arrival along with all the information anyone might possibly need to get the most from this amazing area. The lodge itself is not far from Acharacle, so is pretty central for the peninsula. Unfortunately our visit was at the latter stages of lockdown so we were not able to take advantage of all the local eating places which we have done previously.
We were amazed at the abundance of wildlife around the lodge and would definitely consider Mingarry Lodges when we return to Ardnamurchan.

We love coming to Mingarry lodges. The owners are friendly, efficient and conscious of our private space.
The cottage is clean, and especially during the time of Covid-19, We felt confident that the cabin was thoroughly sterilised before we arrived and, I felt safe.
The surroundings are beautiful, peaceful and quiet, except for wonderful birdsong. This is a birdwatchers paradise.
The Lodges are close enough to amenities such as a small shop which will have all the necessities, and of course within a few minutes drive of many scenic spots in the area. We have chosen Mingarry Lodges for our 'away breaks" because of its convenience, cleanliness, and beautifully appointed kitchen, and will be back.

Everything you need is here. This is the best lodge we've ever stayed at and that is why we keep going back, especially at Christmas. It is decorated beautifully.
Surrounding countryside is breathtaking and great walks on your doorstep. Can't compliment it enough.

Our 4th visit to the lodges and once again we were delighted. I wish we could give a higher rating as Jayne & Andrew really do deserve it for all the care & attention to detail they put in on absolutey everything.....

Immaculately clean lodges, with every thing you could ever need.....and then some you didn't even realise you needed :)
Wildlife in abundance around the local area

We were lucky enough to spend Christmas & New Year there this visit and all the Christmas trees and decorations made it extra special.

Would recommend anybody to book at stay!

Met all our expectations and exceeded a few. Wonderful location. Everything we needed in kitchen. Very comfortable cosy clean bedding and towels. Beautiful bird life and wild life literally on the doorstep. Additional local information and guidance provided was exceptionally thorough and useful.

Fabulous location, everything provided, most thoughtful and friendly hosts, high quality, high standard, 4th visit and will definitely be back! Just go, you will not be disappointed!!

Our first visit to Mingarry Lodges and it will not be our last, spotlessly clean , quality furnishings and fittings , lacking in nothing to enable a comfortable and relaxing self catering holiday ,Jayne provides a 5* welcome pack.No need for a local tourist information centre or library , Jayne and Andrew have it all covered,a week was not long enough to see and visit the natural / tourist attractions in the local area.
Thank you ,Jayne and Andrew.

We have stayed in many cottages/lodges in Scotland and must say this is probably our favourite. Jayne and Andrew have thought of everything. You don’t even have to get out of the armchair to watch the plethora of wildlife at the lodge, you can watch it all on the telly through the well placed cctv. However, it is better to watch them through the windows and the fantastic variety of birds that visit the garden to take advantage of the many feeders that Jayne keeps well supplied with treats. If you have forgotten to take something with you the chances are that Jayne and Andrew have provided it. Excellent welcome pack and exceptionally clean and comfortable accommodation throughout. We will never forget our stay at Mingarry lodges and hope to return again soon.

As usual our stay in Mingarry Lodges did not disappoint , we have stayed in these lodges quite a few times now & know we can expect nothing but exception starting with the warm welcome received from Jayne & Andrew,, the cleanliness & well fitted out lodges to the smallest of detail, it’s location is excellent for wildlife spotting or just taking the time to wind down & relax,,, truly a wonderful haven!
