Abbey Lodge - Room 1

Comfy beds, well equipped, good location, lovely view, outdoor sitting area 😊

Squiky doors, not very soundproof

There were no breakfast facilities. In some websites it is advertised as a bed and breakfast. It offers bed only

As above, no breakfast. The property is a little drab and the room a little dreary. Didn't meet anyone, which surprised me for a rural location. The room was clean and tidy.

We stayed in room 2 which was gorgeous. We had a separate area with double bed with doorway to another area with bunks and table area. There was also an en-suite shower room. Our room was modern and tastefully decorated, we were very pleasantly surprised! The view from our room, right from the bed, was straight over the mountains. If you sit outside on the chairs you get the full view of both the mountains and the sea, stunning. There was a self check in system so we didn’t meet our host, but her communication throughout the stay was Evans she was very helpful. As stated, there are. No cooking facilities, but there was a fridge, kettle and tea and coffee. There are cups, glasses and cutlery but no plates or bowls. We were touring on motorcycles and there was plenty of room to store and dry all of our gear. Ardara town is lovely with lots of gift shops and pubs. There is a garage and a general store a few minutes walk away for supplies with the main town about 5 minutes walk. Would definitely recommend this property and be delighted to return.

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like, but a few things to consider! The property was a bit tricky to find as there was no signage, we weren’t sure we had found the correct place! There are thankfully 2 entrances-the lane via the community centre that we were advised to take was very difficult with motorcycles and we got stuck several times as it was very steep and stoney. There is a tarmac lane just opposite Ardara Autoparts on Hillhead Road which we used once we found it. The carpark is also quite steep but we parked bikes under our window which was on the flat. As others have said, there are no plates or bowls, but we bought variety boxes of cereal and poured the milk straight in and that kept us going until getting breakfast out! Others have noted that en-suite is a bit dated, but it was very clean.

The room was excellent and had everything we needed for our stay. It was only a five minute walk down to Ardara and the views were spectacular

The shower was very fiddly to get to a reasonable temperature and was extremely hot if the setting moved but with a new temperature control it would be great

The property was centrally located and the decor was stylish.

There is was a bit of an issue during check in when our room was still in a mess from previous visitors the day before . Mary was helpful and let us stay in the upstairs rooms. These rooms were cold and the shower water took ages to heat up. No towels and no basic amenities like bins either

The rooms were really nice and cosy . The view from the rooms and even from the beds were beautiful . We got 4 rainy days out of 4 days staying but anyway it was great

There is no plates but I new it from previous reviews so I took it some.

clean, beds were really good

the shower is not good, no pressure and the warm water runs out quickly
