This is a stunning place to stay! The views and the setting are exquisitely beautiful; the Highlands at their very best. The house is amazing. It is comfortable, functional, and extremely well equipped. It is the perfect place to retreat with a group of friends or with family. The host was very responsive to requests.

The setting and property are just wonderful. We enjoyed a wonderful week at New Lodge, the property was exceptionally well equipped, beautifully presented and offered everything we needed including a lovely welcome hamper. We loved the Highland cows throughout the house and were inspired to buy our own to bring home. Fabulous views and so peaceful.Read more I would recommend to anyone and hope to return to this wonderful part of the world again. Hide
