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!
Lovely lodges in a peaceful setting. Local walks and also good location for exploring further afield.
We stayed for 6 days and nights at Mingarry Lodge and were just blown away by the accommodation, wildlife set up and our wonderful hosts!
We have travelled widely and this is one of the most thoughtful and comprehensive accommodations we have stayed in. The hosts have thought of everything you could possibly need for a stay.
The accommodation was extremely comfortable with upstairs bedroooms and bathroom, laundary room and the shower and toilet downstairs was a bonus. The lounge, dining room and kitchen spacious and thoughtfully equipped.
The lodge and local information folders are meticulously compiled and easily accessedThe lodge is well located close to local attractions and walks but centrally located for trips further afield. We headed in all directions finding beautiful coastal scenery, historical ruins and places of interest. The scenery is spectacular with stunning lochs and wildlife!
The wildlife cameras pick up an array of birds and interesting characters around the lodge and we were really lucky to see an owl on several occasions. Further afield we saw eagles and sea otter! Give yourself a great stay and try these lodges, you won't regret it!
The warm and cosy lodge was in pristine condition, exceptionally well equipped and decorated in a charming ‘cabin chic’ style. It is in a delightful location, in the heart of the territories of red squirrel, pine marten and badger, which we were able to see several times during our stay. The friendly and helpful owners had provided a comprehensive folder of local information, an excellent range of maps and guides and were also available to offer advice about the latest wildlife sightings, updates about the effect of the weather on trips etc. It is one of the very best self catering properties we have ever used.
Every comfort was provided at this excellent Lodge. This was our fourth visit and every bit as enjoyable as the previous visits. Highly recommended.
The lodges are extremely well equipped and very comfortable. The kitchen is equipped to a very high standard as are the rest of the rooms, The 'extras' that are provided are a very thoughtful touch, and greatly appreciated.
I have stayed in many other self catering units, but nothing compares to this lodge, and the location is superb.
Another nice touch was the welcome by Jayne, one of the owners and there advuice on areas to visit during my stay.
Thank you.
Another fantastic week at Tooting Lodge. The lodge, as before, was very comfortable and exceptionally clean. There is so much to do and see in this beautiful area, and the wildlife is amazing.
We had another brilliant stay at Hooting Lodge.
Lovely lodge, great facilities and lots of wildlife encounters
The lodge is located in a large natural garden with woods to the rear and walks all around. It is one of 2 lodges with the owner’s property tucked back up the path.
Its owners are environmentally friendly and love nature so they have set the lodge up to maximise good practice for minimal impact on the environment but also managing to make it so very cosy and comfortable. There are lots of added extras and the welcome tray is high quality and the best I have had on my travels. The beds are lovely.
There is ample opportunity to see wildlife with cameras to view in the lodge itself. Jayne and Andrew are knowledgeable on nature and the area and offer information on where to go to see all of the animals and birds and woodlands and lochs that will give you the best break. I am not one to stay somewhere more than once but I have travelled 3 times to this amazing lodge and had a memorable holiday each time.
Ardnamurchan is a great area to visit if you want fresh air and wildlife.
We had a fantastic holiday in this lodge. It was understated luxury with everything we needed. Attention to detail was exceptional and a huge amount of effort had gone into making sure we were comfortable and enjoyed ourselves. Great location for wildlife viewing. We would love to visit again.
Once again we had an outstanding time, blessed with good weather too. Wayne and Andrew are the perfect hosts.
Thanks to Jayne for providing a very comfortable and relaxing stay; great place to get away from it all. Thanks.
Lovely peaceful location with plenty to see and do, epscially if you love the wildlife in the area. Jane and Andrew put a lot of dedication into making this location so special for there customers.
This is probably the 4th or 5th time I've stayed at Mingarry Lodges now, still it will not be my last. Jayne and Andrew put in so much time and effort, not just for the people staying in the lodges, but for the wildlife around too. You will be treated to live video feeds of numerous birds and mamals during your stay, with up close encounters through the windows too.
The lodges are always clean, well laid out, warm and comfortable. Necessities are provided and there is a small shop just a few minutes drive down the road (if you don't fancy the drive to Fort William).
The surrounding areas are stunning with multiple walks and places to sit and relax (don't forget the Smidge). It is an easy drive from Castle Tioram, the Garbh Eilean Wildlife Hide and two ferry terminals to the Isle of Mull.
If you love watching wildlife in an unspoiled habitat, and need to escape the "busy life" for a while, then look no further.
Another amazing week at Mingarry lodges. We have stayed several times before and just love the scenery and wildlife to be found in the area. The lodges are so well equipped and comfortable. Thank you again Jayne and Andrew for a wonderful holiday.
Fabulous week at rooting yet again. It is so comfortable it is becoming almost home from
Home. There is everything you could wish for in the cabin. It is well loved and lovely to spend time in. Ardnamurchan as an area to spend time is unbelievable. My mum just loves it here. As do I. Thank you again Jayne and Andrew. It is amazing to share your space with you.
Myself and my partner stayed in hooting lodge for a week at the end of may and we were completely blown away. Jayne is an incredibly warm and welcoming host, who makes you feel very at ease and comfortable from the get go. The lodges are kept so tidy and comfortable, and are really well stocked with all the amenities you may need for your stay, as well as a really comprehensive amount of information about the surrounding area and ideas for days out. Jayne and Andrew really do go above and beyond. At one point I lost a screw in my glasses and Jayne even gave me a glasses repair kit to fix them!
In the lodges you are nestled in a lush green space, and if you are a wildlife lover this is definitely the spot for you. We were lucky enough to have lots of special sightings, and Jayne advise you on how best to see them! The lodges themselves are hooked up to wildlife cameras so you're never short of beautiful moments at any time of the day. The hosts are clearly big wildlife lovers and will get just as excited as you if you spot anything which is really lovely.
This area of the highlands is really breath-taking and remote, with lots of one-track roads which means less visitors so more peace and quiet! We went during half term which is always a risk but we had nothing to worry about, we had so much space to breathe and explore. From the lodge we visited the Ardnamuchan lighthouse, Ariundle Forest, Sanna bay (beautiful), singing sands, The Isle of Mull, Tioram Castle and many more places, all within an hours drive of the lodge. We're outdoorsy people but you could equally have a week in the lodge and be incredibly content. The lodges are equipped with games, books and many more activities to keep you occupied. There really is something for everyone here! I cannot fault it at all. Thanks so much to our hosts, we will most certainly be back!
