The Gate Lodge

We loved the location of the property and the ease of access. It has a rather random layout but we thought it added to the charm of the old building, with its high ceilings and sash cord windows. The property was lovely and warm for the time of year (November) and the facilities were great.

The property sits next to a main road and railway line but this didn't detract from our visit. There is also a need for external lighting from the parking area to the backdoor entrance. Luckily our phones had a charge in them when we first arrived.

It was well appointed and very comfortable with a lovely enclosed garden, private drive and great views over the Firth

No outside light at back for guests arriving in dark and unloading car Front door would appreciate a coat of paint

Great value and had everything you'll need for your stay. Lovely intetesting property

Lovely wee lodge! Clean tidy! Comfortable beds.

If anything to be picky would be the sofa not a comfortable sit.

Stunning cottage with everything you could think of for a great comfortable stay. Beautiful scenery and great location. Slight issue with the WiFi. However, they were extremely quick to rectify and have great communication.

The fire was unusable.

Location has good views. Period features

Traffic noise.

Very clean, well equipped.

Main bedroom is very close to a busy road and window has only single glazing so there's quite a lot of road noise. Might be a problem if you're a light sleeper.

Inside it is very modern , very clean. It has plenty of white goods, in fact most look brand new.

It’s unfortunate I have to say this but we arrived in the dark, parking without reversing camera would be a nightmare.No lightning in the parking area made it worse. Walking around the area is almost treacherous luckily I carry a torch in the car. A few things that you would only be aware of if you stayed, settee is probably the most uncomfortable one I have ever sat on, a length of wood under the cushion at the front is just painful after sitting for a few minutes. The bed seems to be made of a series of lumps, No ceiling bulbs working ! Dark brown Matt on dark brown wood floor is a trip hazard. A lot of vehicle noise in the bedroom. No dish washer tablets, we don’t have one and as we were only staying for a few days I wasn’t going to buy them. No small saucepan only large or very large. No small frying pans only very large one of which doesn’t register on the hot plates. Tin opener doesn’t work. Only one tea towel. No scrubber for washing up .
