What an amazing place!!!!!!!!!!! The hosts are very accommodating and Jayne is always pottering around, if you need anything you'll find that nothing is too much trouble. The lodge is set in woodlands a good distance away from the road. The lodge is spacious and very comfortable, absolutely everything you could possibly need is available in the lodge. A guide book printed by the owner tells you everything you need to know from local walks and attractions to important phone numbers, very handy.
The outdoors has a small garden area with a picnic table whilst the veranda also has seating along with several feeding stations for the birds and any local wildlife both of which are abundant. There are also bird feeding stations in the woods behind the lodge which can be viewed from the rear windows, we saw many bird species, siskin, greenfinch, blackbird, woodpecker, thrush and loads more, we also saw some deer. The red squirrels are out first thing in the morning and can be seen visiting the peanut feeders throughout the day.
Overall a truly fantastic place to visit, be it either to sit back and relax or get out and about to enjoy the stunning scenery of the Ardnamurchan peninsula.
Very interesting area with plenty of wildlife.
Accommodation top rate.
Cannot rate high enough.
Thank you.
Mingarry Lodges are a comfortable wildlife haven in unspoilt Ardnamurchan. Stunning scenery, walks, loch cruises and local wildlife. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
A very peaceful and beautiful place to stay. Jayne is very knowledgeable about the area and checks in with you to ensure you are OK. Tooting Lodge is probably one of the best accommodations we have had a holiday in. We were so impressed, we have booked up to return again next year.
This was our 3rd trip to Hooting Lodge, Mingarry. Jayne and Andrew are fantastic hosts and the property is absolute perfection. Magnificent scenery, wonderful wildlife, a great variety of fabulous walks - can't wait to come back next year.
The location was very peaceful and the cabin had everything you would need with a brilliant library stocking identification books for all the flora and fauna you will see in the area, all the necessary maps and a great information folder containing walks, attractions and even ferry timetables all up to date. The owners couldnt be more helpful with hints and tips on spotting the best wildlife and we saw allsorts. The local area was beautiful and we didnt feel the need to travel long distances as many attractions were close by. Our 6 year old son absolutely loved it the whole holiday was magical. If you like wildlife I would highly recommend I couldnt fault it.
Great Property and Fantastic Hosts in a peaceful setting with lots of wildlife in the area.
Will return again.
Once again we have had another wonderful week at Mingarry Lodges. This is our second visit and we stayed in Tooting Lodge, it has all the home comforts you could need plus so much more as well. Jayne and Andrew are perfect hosts, very knowledgeable about the area, and nothing is too much trouble for them. Lots of wildlife to see around the area of Mingarry itself and the surrounding area, including white tailed eagles, red squirrels and many wading birds. The scenery is also amazing with what appears to be a different landscape around every corner. A visit to Sanna Bay is a must, it's beautiful and the scenery along the way is amazing! There is so much more to see and do and a must for anyone who loves wildlife, walking, or just the great outdoors. I know we'll be back and we look forward to staying with Jayne and Andrew again in the future.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Mingarry, great facilities, beautiful location and fantastic cctv with which to enjoy the local wildlife.
Jayne is a super host who goes out of her way to ensure all guests have a positive experience.
The lodge is extremely well equipped, kitchen facilities are wonderful, everything you need for all aspects of home cooking.
We enjoyed it so much we have already booked again for next year.
A real gem in fabulous countryside.
As usual a fabulous lodge presented in pristine order and surrounded by an abundance of wildlife.
The area has so much to offer to nature lovers. We have never tired of the accommodation or outstanding scenery.
We have already booked for next May as there is still so much to see and do.
Another wonderful holiday in Tooting Lodge which is beginning to feel like home (except better!) Jayne and Andrew always give visitors a warm welcome and their attention to detail is amazing. Warm, comfortable and well equipped accommodation in a beautiful location. Wonderful to see the wildlife nearby. So much to see and do that.a week is simply not long enough. We usually revisit favourite places (eg the walk to Castle Tioram, the Ariundle Centre near Strontian for excellent refreshments before walking through the ancient oak woodlands, and the drive over to Glenuig with more lovely walks. This time we enjoyed a boat trip from Arisaig to Eigg.
Jayne and Andrew were very welcoming as always. The comfortable lodge was very warm and cosy and had everything you could possibly need.
My wife was extremely pleased with how clean and well equipped the lodge was and I would agree with that. Fantastic location for wildlife spotting we saw sea eagles, otters and plenty of other creatures within relatively short drives from the property.
Jayne was knowledgeable and very helpful. There is plenty of feed provided for the wildlife around the lodges which resulted in some lovely visitors.
I hope we will visit again before too long.
Jayne and Andrew have done an amazing job in making sure the Lodge is well equipped with quality items, comfortable and pristinely clean. Their efforts mean that you get to see some amazing bird life very close to the Lodge. This is magical place.
Have been here so many times now and always have a wonderful time. The standard of cleanliness in the cabin is always so very high. Thank you - because it takes a lot of hard work from both of you which is very much appreciated. There is all you could ever want and more. The situation is idyllic and the TV is always on watching the wildlife cameras. Sending kind regards and wishing you both good health.
Fantastic location. Beautiful, immaculate lodges with everything you could ever need for a perfect stay. Well equipped, cosy and so comfortable. Lots of information available in the cabin including OS maps, books, dvd's. Jayne and Andrew are the perfect hosts and nothing is too much trouble. Cannot wait to return!!
Very clean lodge everything you need .Great for photography Badgers & Pine Martens visited every night Red Squirrels and Red Deer in the woods to the rear.
We were so happy to find Mingarry Lodges - a gem in the western highlands. Only 2 lodges in private grounds looking out over Loch Shiel to the front and woodland to the rear. Our lodge was spacious, very clean and had everything you needed for your stay. If you like the wilder side of Scotland this is a great place to explore Moidart, Ardnamurchan peninsula, Mull, Rum and Eigg to name a few. Mingarry is a small crofting village but has a bonus restaurant about a minute’s walk from the lodges which delivers great quality menu. The nearest shop is at Acharacle about three miles down the road. To sum up if you like wildlife and breath taking scenery this is a great base.
Jayne and Andrew do everything possible to make your stay perfect. They are very knowledgeable about the area and always keen to advise if required. This was our third visit, this time for two weeks. The lodge is equipped with all you need for a self catering holiday, nicely decorated throughout and very comfortable. The lodge even has cctv to ensure that you do not miss out on any wildlife activity, of which there is an abundance, through the night or when you venture out during the day. Great location to explore Ardnamurchan or just relax at the lodge. Definitely recommend and will be visiting again. Hopefully in the not too distant future.
Had a fabulous time in tooting lodge. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The lodge was spotless and I understand why when I saw the cleaning taking place next door the day after we arrived. The information available in the lodge is tremendous. The owners are lovely and very helpful. The area is stunning and so beautiful in October. We will be back.
