Kirkstone Lodge

The lodge was fabulous in every aspect, was easily accessible and had stunning views around it! Booked it for a couple of nights and wish it had been longer, everything was neat and tidied and decorated stunningly inside, would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a scenic break for a few days with some friends and family!

De ruimte en comfort in appartement, de ligging in natuur, het uitzicht, de houtbrander, de gescheiden kamers, de ruime keuken en eettafel, de stilte 's nachts. Heel veel dus.

lampje in de afzuigkap is kapot

The location was great, nice views, good access to the Spey pathway. The lodge was a decent size, good sized living/dining area. The kitchen was ideal with 2 ovens, air fryer and coffee machine (we didn't use it i think). Good parking, couple of seating areas, one at the hot tub/sauna and one at the other side of the kitchen. The rooms were nice, Velux windows etc. Nice touches with dog treats and Scooby balls. Decent bike shed to store our mountain bikes. Closed off garden, dog could run around. Good sound system and decent TV. Some lovely walks and small lochs up in the forest.

Nothing much to say, it's a house. The main issue for me is the discrepancy between the information on booking.com and the information you receive from the lodge company. I have messaged back and forth with a few questions and it looks to me that either, 1. Booking.com is not displaying all the terms and conditions that the lodge company has given them( this was the email i received today from the lodge company) or, 2. You need to book direct with the lodge company on their website for all the terms and conditions. Booking.com listed the property as free cancellation, this was not the case as once the property was paid in full, we received the contract that stated what you would lose if you cancelled ( i have included a screenshot). The security deposit is stated as being collected 7 days prior to arrival, but it was included in the bill and not as a pre-approval 7 days prior, i messaged asking about this to the lodge company and was instructed that they said people prefer it that way, told today that they usually take the pre-approval over the phone so why include it in the bill. The lodge must be cleaned before leaving, this includes taking all the rubbish and recycling to the bins at the road. I have included a couple of screenshots of the bill etc, the lodge company is stating booking.com have the information and they haven't displayed it all. It's a decent lodge, i wouldn't say luxury but reasonable, bit of paint and tidy up would be excellent.

The property was spacious, clean, had plenty of facilities. It was in an amazing location, very quiet and peaceful. The best part of all was the stunning view from the living room window looking over the hills. Plenty of parking and garden space to do a BBQ and relax.

The living room TV can be a bit bigger based on the distance from the sofas. One of the bathroom locks were not working the best (still worked).

Very spacious, hot tub was good, sauna was good, even had a bose sound bar for the tunes inside. Plenty of cups and glasses, place was clean, loved the giant windows in the living room over looking the Highlands. Would 100% book again

Only recommendation i would make if there was a waterproof plug outside for a speaker during the day while chilling. Other than that I had no issues

Great house in a really quiet location with excellent walking seconds away. Great hot tub and sauna.

Nothing. Would visit again.
