Guest Reviews
- Carina (10/5): We really enjoyed it!!! Everything was perfect! - Perfect
- Eleanor (10/5): Peaceful and relaxing holiday in excellent accommodation. - Thistle Lodge is very comfortable and tastefully decorated with a well equipped kitchen. It is a 20 minute walk to Dollar and convenient as a base for driving to nearby visitor attractions such as The Japanese Garden at Cowden, Castle Campbell and the Royal Burgh of Culross. Nothing to dislike
- Kimberley (10/5): - Tranquil, extremely clean and peaceful location
- Greg (10/5): Beautiful property with lovely view. - This has to be the nicest accommodation of this type we have stayed in. Nicely furnished and well laid out and well looked after. We particularly liked the Thistle Lodge theme with decorations running throughout, gave the place a lovely feel.
Comfortable and clean with decent facilities and good water pressure in the shower.
A nice addition of shortbread and pastries was waiting for us which was appreciated.
We like the setting with the lounge doors overlooking a field with sheep and the mountains behind. Peaceful.
The location is good with a pleasant little river walk running alongside the site - ideal for a morning dog walk.
Overall we had a lovely stay and would happily return again one day. When it was time to leave - we will return!
(The only genuine niggle for us was the WiFi. It kept dropping randomly from our phones and it made online tv channels difficult to watch on the provided tv. The programmes kept freezing or switching off altogether. Quite frustrating but we don’t tend to watch that much tv so it wasn’t a huge problem. Just a bit annoying. )
- Neermala (10/5): We had a Relaxing and enjoyable stay. The location of the lodge allowed us to travel around the local countryside. - Its was comfortable and cozy. Full amenities provided.The view from the lodge is soothing and the site is quiet. Nil
- Susanshaw (10/5): Little home from home - Little home from home. Very neat and tidy, comfortable and had everything we needed. Nice walk into village and great for working off evening bar supper!
- david (10/5): Great accommodation at a great price - It is in great spot, just outside the lovely village of Dollar. It was very clean and tidy with a lovely view from the lounge double doors . The beds were comfy, and overall the lodge had a nice modern feel to it. Nothing
- Leah (10/5): -
- Krumpár (9/5): Perfect family holiday - it has a very well equipped kitchen and cosy living room with a castle view i guess it is hard water, and somehow, it doesn't taste good. Single beds are very short
- Jo Rafferty (10/5): Beautiful lodge, wonderful stay - Recently home from New Year in Thistle Lodge. The lodge is beautiful and there really is everything that you could possibly need. Everything has been thought of and the lodge itself is so welcoming and cosy. Finished to the highest standard. The welcome basket of shortbread and pastries was a really lovely touch 🙂. The lodge is set on a lovely secure gated site with beautiful views out of the french doors in the living area of the surrounding hills, the village is just a short walk away with everything you could need if you want to venture out. We had a lovely relaxing time as a couple with our wee spaniel for the new year and wouldn't hesitate to go back. Lawrence the host was very attentive and on hand if we needed him. Highly recommend. There's nothing not to like!
- Jayne (10/5): -
- Gina (9/5): - The lodge had everything we needed. The owner was very attentive, checking in with us and securing outside furniture, when storm Amy hit the area. Would definitely return. We loved it. Unfortunately the main bed was very uncomfortable. You could see and feel every spring. We used quilts off the other beds to improve the mattress so didn't really spoil our stay. There was a topper on the mattress already so we believe attempts had been made to improve it but it could really do with replacing. Considering the high quality kitchen and general finishing in the lodge it was a shame it let it down or we would have said 10 plus accross the board.
- Gillian (10/5): Relaxing stay, & hope to return. - Comfortable & clean & enjoyed the peace & quiet, as well as views of Ochils.
We used our Netflix login to watch films & relaxed outside on decking - weather very kind to us! Nothing comes to mind, we’d like to stay again.
- Amanda (10/5): - Quiet, All perfect

- Siky (10/5): Peaceful and Comfortable! - We had a wonderful stay at Thistle Lodge in Dollar. The location is absolutely beautiful, nestled in a quiet, scenic area with lovely views and lots of greenery. It was the perfect peaceful retreat for our family.
The lodge itself was spotless, cozy, and very well-equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed for self-catering, and the living space was ideal for relaxing after a day out.
- Marie (10/5): 5 🌟 - Second time staying here and it just gets better each time, its peaceful and surrounded with lots of nature. Lodge is spotlessly clean, has everything you need, including a washing machine with washing pods ready to use. My dog loves it up here. Lovely river walk next to the lodges, we seen deers run across the field and right on the door step seen little birds feeding its young in a little bird house on the decking. Weather didn't stop us from exploring the surrounding areas. Again cant thank the hoists enough they are always happy to help and check in to see if everything's okay. Fab stay and will always return to this one in future. Highly recommend. There is nothing a dont like about this stay, looking in to booking again.

- Alison (9/5): Great wee lodge in a lovely location. - Great location. Walks from door. Short walk into Dollar. Lovely views. Very helpful hosts when we had a small problem.
- Andrea (9/5): Superb -
- Elzbieta (10/5): Exceptional - We spent Christmas at Thistle Lodge. All was prepared for our arrival, even a small Christmas tree and Christmas decorations.
The lodge was equipped in all necessities and was comfortable.
Although it was windy and cold, it was warm and cosy inside. There were many blankets for our use in case we needed them.
Everything was clean and sparkly. Perfect! N/a
- Joanne (10/5): Everything you could need was provided - Excellent communication from start to finish. Spotlessly clean.
- Helen (9/5): Lovely place for a short break. Lots to do in the local area and just a short walk into Dollar. - Great location. Very cosy and clean property. No corkscrew! Luckily we had one in the car.
- Astra (10/5): Exceptional! Comfortable and Cosy - The views due to location are absolutely exceptional!
Warm and welcoming when you first enter and an absolutely comfortable stay! Not having a curtain across the door to pull across, in the evenings sitting there with all curtains closed making the place cost then seemed a little odd to just have the door with a clear view out.
- Rrolinski (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (10/5): Would recommend for a chilled break away with beautiful scenery . - The lodge was extremely cosy and clean with everything you needed(lots of little extras) for a wonderful break with our dog . Beautiful views of the mountains and castle from decking with a lovely river side walk on the other side. We walked to the village and had a lovely meal in the Aviary next to a great friendly little pub, had a nice larger pub across the road . The castle is well worth visiting up a steep hill but with two car parks on route and a beautiful glen where brave people had a dip . Beautiful places to visit and lots of walks . We drove to Loch Lomond stunning especially a little place called Luss. Nothing to not like .
