We have stayed at Tooting Lodge many times now, which says it all. Can't fault anything. The lodge is spotless & very well equipped. Being able to see the wildlife from the lodge is amazing, with the cameras capturing everything in case we missed it. Will definitely be back.
A quality experience from start to finish with many thoughtful extras. Well worth a stay to meet up with all the other residents flying or strolling around during the day or to see the camera shots of their nocturnal travels.
Mingarry Lodges is a wonderful place to stay. Hooting Lodge itself was very comfortable, superbly equipped and super clean. We loved having the wildlife cameras around the lodge and spent a lot of time watching them. Jayne is the perfect host - friendly and helpful but very respectful of guests' privacy. There are numerous bird feeders within feet of the lodge windows and we watched woodpeckers, siskins, thrushes, goldfinches, chaffinches, greenfinches and a redpoll, amongst others. Jayne keeps the feeders continually topped up. It was great to have a coffee machine and there was also a bbq provided (although you would have to choose a day when the midges were not out!) The area of grass at the front was a nice place to sit when the sun was out. We can guarantee the meticulous cleaning of these lodges - having watched Jayne spend all day cleaning the other one the day before we left! The goodies on arrival were much appreciated. We very much hope to return.
Hooting Lodge was a superbly comfortable base for watching local wildlife and exploring Ardnamurchan. Everything was of a high standard, well thought out, and the information and books available were first class.
Perfect. Returned for our annual visit. Most comfortable, cleanest, best located lodge ever. Jayne and Andrew have thought of everything you could want. Fantastic attention to detail. Lovely area all perfect.
Should you be looking for a holiday in a truly natural spot, with all the comforts, this holiday will give you so many natural and pleasant surprises and without going far. However ,the beauty of the Moidart area will leave you with wonderful memories.

Another fantastic visit to Hooting Lodge, at Mingarry
Everything about the lodge, the wildlife, the location and of course the owners Jayne & Andrew make this a holiday destination not to be missed.
From the moment we arrived to the moment we left everything was great. The cabin, the location, the friendly welcome, the attention to detail...... All excellent, we will be back.
Outstanding location, excellent lodge with everything (and more) that you need together with marvellous hosts. That is why I keep coming back! Thank you once again Jayne and Andrew.
Everything catered for for us and the surrounding wildlife. We will certainly be back again and again.
I cannot recommend Mingarry Lodges enough, the attention to detail is outstanding and cannot wait to go back. I know you cannot control wildlife but it is wildlife heaven not just around the lodges but the whole area.
This was my first time in Scotland and we found it a totally amazing experience. Everything was perfect at the lodge and could not fault anything. Very friendly and could not be more helpful. Will definitely go again if I can find a space in the bookings .
I’d Very much recommend this for a getaway for anyone who loves pace and quiet.
wildlife and the great outdoors.
This was our second stay at Mingarry and was as enjoyable as our first, and nice to see it at a different time of year. The lodges are excellent, everything you could possibly need is provided and good quality. Lots of local information is also provided. Jayne & Andrew are very welcoming but not intrusive. Of course the wildlife is the main attraction and did not disappoint.
Quite simply the best holiday we've ever had. Everything in the lodge was faultless - spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable, well equipped with everything we could possibly need and more. We were made to feel so welcome and Jayne had a wealth of knowledge about the wildlife and surrounding area. The wildlife was amazing and we loved watching the cameras in the evening to see who was visiting the garden. The area itself is stunningly beautiful. The only problem we had was having to leave at the end of the week. Cannot wait to return!!!
Our 6th stay at Mingarry and will definitely be back for more!
Jayne and Andrew have created a little heaven where you can chill out and escape the crazy world. The lodges are fitted out to a high standard with everything you could possibly want, the attention to detail the best I've ever experienced.
So much thought has gone into ensuring your stay is enjoyable. the beds are super comfy, kitchen has everything, gorgeous fluffy towels and luxury toiletries.
Files with details of walks, drives, maps, wildlife, books, sight seeing excursions all provided in such thorough detail!
Immaculate lodges in beautiful surroundings with the most helpful and friendly owners.
Even during these more challenging times of covid I always felt very safe as know their standards so very high on cleaning.
I never want to leave, always want a extra week!!
Simply perfect!
We as a family have stayed at Mingarry Lodges several times over the years ,, as usual we received a very warm welcome from the owners who go above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable , we can count on the lodges being exceptionally clean,- as we are in a pandemic that was extremely important to us, everything was made covid safe to the finest detail ,,, the lodges are VERY well equipped with all your conceivable needs. The location is excellent for sightseeing & wildlife…. 100% recommended ….
Once again we have had an absolutely fantastic 3 weeks holiday at Mingarry, made that extra bit special as it was over Christmas.
The cabin, was as always immaculate with everything we needed being provided. The real Christmas tree and all the other decorations just made it feel so magical.
With nature being all around there was something interesting to watch around the lodge everyday.
Jayne & Andrew are such lovely people with great enthusiasm & knowledge it’s always a great pleasure to catch up with them. We will be back again which will be approx 8th visit.
Another wonderful week in Hooting Lodge! As always the lodge was in excellent condition and scrupulously clean with lots of information on places of interest, local walks and fascinating wildlife. Jayne and Andrew are excellent hosts, ready with an enthusiastic welcome, always available to provide advice and guidance and quick to resolve any concerns.
