We had a good week fishing on the adjacent lakes - we were the only anglers there! The only issue we had was with the showers in the lodge which suddenly stopped working on the Thursday. Otherwise our stay at Munro lodge was excellent.

Firstly there is a carpet inside the lodge, by the entrance that was continually moving and creating a trip hazard. Secondly the curtains in bedroom needed blackout on them as when people went out for a smoke the light would shine into bedrooms. Apart from those issues it was a lovely lodge we had a lovely time, thank you also for the shopping you left for us regards Paul Richardson

It was very clean and tidy and was well equiped. The welcome scones, jam and clotted cream plus the milk was a very nice thought. The site was very peaceful and we would consider it again if back in the area. The only thing that could be improved is the allocated car parking space needs better marking as it was a little confusing as to which we should be using.
