Guests say
Rowan Lodge in Strathpeffer is highly praised for its peaceful and scenic location, comfortable and cosy accommodation, and thoughtful touches. Guests enjoyed the surrounding nature, local walks, and the welcoming atmosphere. The property is well-equipped for a relaxing stay, with several mentions of a warm welcome and a well-maintained environment.
Cleanliness
Guests consistently described the lodge as clean and well-presented. The welcome hamper was appreciated and added to the impression of a tidy and cared-for property. There was a single mention of a need for cleaning under the shower, but this appears to be an isolated incident.
Location
The location is highly regarded for its tranquillity, natural beauty, and proximity to local amenities and nature trails. The peaceful setting in the woods and the availability of scenic walks right from the doorstep were particularly appreciated.
Comfort
The lodge is frequently described as cosy, comfortable, and well-equipped, with comfortable beds and a warm atmosphere. The presence of central heating and a welcoming interior contributed to the high level of comfort experienced by guests.
Facilities
Facilities are generally praised, including the well-stocked kitchen and the inclusion of a washing machine and dryer. However, there were some concerns about maintenance, such as the noisy boiler, the need for better lighting in the kitchen, and the cleanliness of some kitchen items.
Thoughtfulness
Many reviews mention thoughtful gestures such as welcome hampers with treats for both guests and dogs, which contributed to a positive experience. While these gifts are warmly received, it's important to note that such personal touches, though common, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
A cosy yet spacious log cabin, privately situated in a pretty woodland setting, on the outskirts of the spa town of Strathpeffer in the wonderful Scottish Highlands. This charming log cabin is one of a few similar cottages occupying this tranquil location, an ideal base for small groups of family or friends who will appreciate the history of the village, and the beauty of the surrounding countryside. This ground floor Highland cottage has two neat bedrooms and a family bathroom, and the bright and airy open plan living area has a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable settees, and French doors leading to a large private balcony, a simply perfect place for a quiet read and a glass of wine. The surrounding Blackmuir Wood is ideal for gentle walks and offers lovely westerly mountain views, with links to other well-signposted walks around the town. Strathpeffer also boasts excellent cycle paths, and the chance to hire bikes in the village if required! The area is rich in wildlife and close by you will find the RSPB Tollie Red Kites nature reserve, where red kites can be viewed from a specially-converted farmstead building. Strathpeffer is ideally placed for touring the wider area of the Northern Highlands, and Loch Ness, the Isle of Skye, and the Cairngorm National Park can be accessed quite easily. However, during the summer months ensure you are back in time to hear the District Pipe Band and Highland dancers performing for visitors on Saturday evenings, a truly wonderful experience! After a day exploring this wonderful, unspoilt region, this Strathpeffer log cabin is the perfect Highland holiday home to return to. Note: This property is 20 yards away from Ref: 30494, together they sleep 8.
The pretty spa village of Strathpeffer offers shops, pubs, restaurants and a golf course, as well as craft shops and the Highland Museum of Childhood in a former Victorian railway station. The area also boasts walks, cycle routes and fishing.
