Heron Lodge

I was really surprised by the land the owner had. They had their own forest for kids to explore and beautiful log cabins. It was like being in a Hollywood movie set and listening to Steven Spielberg say Action I couldnt believe my eyes when I arrived. Thanks for a wonderful experience Helen & David.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Heron Lodge. The host welcomed us on arrival to and gave us some information about the lodge and the area. The lodge is beautiful, clean and extremely well equipped. The location is great for exploring with several historic sites and walks etc nearby. The host provided an extensive list of suggested places to visit and recommended restaurants etc which was very helpful. It is also only about a ten minute drive to the centre of Inverness with shopping, bars, restaurants and supermarkets. We couldnt fault our stay in any way and hope to stay at Heron lodge again in the future.

We had a fantastic week. Amazing lodge in a beautiful location. The lodge was immaculate and had everything we needed and very dog friendly. Highly recommended.

The cabin was fantastic a real home from home. The cleanliness and provisions were second to none. The hot tub was a great addition and again spotlessly clean. A real credit to the lovely owners. The location was lovely and peaceful yet only a short 5 mile trip to Inverness and ideally placed to discover the Black Isle, further north or even across to the west side of Scotland and the western isles.

Fantastic week spent at Heron lodge, could not ask for a better location or accommodation if you want to unwind and explore the highlands. The lodge was amazing and even better than expected with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. We were greeted by the owner who was extremely helpful and gave us plenty of ideas of things to do. There were so many highlights from the week and one we will not forget for a long time. Loch Ness was stunning and close by but surprisingly not over run with visitors as I would have expected. There were so many places to see that we will be back again soon. Book soon you do not want to miss out on experiencing Heron lodge or the other lodge close by Moorhen lodge.

Excellent lodge with hot tub. Great communication from the property owners prior to and during our stay. Lovely welcome pack on arrival including starter pack for log burner. Lodge is perfectly positioned for day trips to surrounding areas Inverness, Loch Ness, Culloden, Chanonry Point and many more!. We stayed for 7 nights and were not short of things to do with 2 children under 9 and our dog. Highly recommended you wont be disappointed!

Fabulous peaceful welcoming place to stay, Every attention to detail to make our stay perfect was taken care of, The lodge is immaculate, beautifully presented and everything you could need is in the lodge, Host where fantastic and welcoming and really helpful with local information.

Amazing property we loved it

Absolutely fabulous lodge, spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable and really well equipped. Dogs made to feel welcome. Hot tub an added bonus.Great location for exploring the Black Isle, Sutherland and Inverness. Would I go back ? Absolutely ! Easily one if not the best lodge Ive been to.

Excellent holiday in a beautiful lodge. We felt very priviledged to be there. The location was brilliant in such lovely woods together with the birds. We admire the way in which you are trying to be as green as possible without losing the luxury of everything involved in staying at the lodge. The lodge was very well furnished and we were not short of anything. The surrounding area was very enjoyable to explore especially dolphin watching for a good hour or more off Chanonry Point. We had another day out where we called in at the stunning resort of Eagles Brae where we photographed the friendly deer and other wild life. Together with the Cairngorm National park and stunning scenery around the Moray Firth we had a great week.

Our stay at Heron Lodge was incredible! Everything we needed was available and the hot tub was very welcome after long days hiking. We absolutely loved it.

Absolutely amazing place so clean and quiet. Will return 100 close enough for everything on your doorstep but 1.5 miles and your away from everything the perfect break. Chris & Nicky Halesowen

This was the best place we have ever stayed & gutted to leave will definitely return! A beautiful log cabin with everything you would ever need & immaculately clean. Welcome gift pack & lovely friendly & helpful hosts. We actually sat in the hot tub one night with snow swirling around our heads my little girl was in awe!? Also enjoyed waking up to the birds & watching them feed beautiful red squirrel visitor too wow! We also saw a tiny tree creeper & a woodpecker. The area is amazing lovely little local walk to the loch through a beautiful glen. Then Glen Affric & the Cairngorms & Fairy Glen great tiny pub in village & wonderful drives to amazing scenery mpuntains, trees, lochs, sea & castles! We really really didnt want to leave & are very sad to be home apart from to see our cat. Our little dog came with us & loved it too! Amazing holiday thank you to Helen & David for making it happen! Emma, John, Gracie & Harry me

Everything about our stay has been absolutely perfect! We loved watching the birds and squirrels and so did the dogs! The hot tub was perfect to come back to after our trips out sightseeing and the log fire was so cosy. Helen and David are so helpful and go above and beyond to make sure your visit is everything you want. The tips of where to go with the dogs were so welcomed. Although we were tucked away in the depths of the forest, Inverness was only 10 minutes away but you'd never know! We got breakfast from the bakery down the road each morning too. Thank you Helen and David, we are so sad to have to leave and we'll definitely be back if you'll have us!.

Fantastic lodge in a superb setting

Loved every minute of our stay at the exquisite Heron Lodge. This is the best log cabin we've stayed in and we've stayed in quite a few around the uk. We thought the lodge was immaculate and the location superb, and the welcome hamper was a lovely touch. We couldn't really fault the lodge at all so we're sure we'll return again at some point in the future. Highly recommended.

We genuinely loved everything about this place. It strikes a fantastic balance between modern comforts and a truly rustic area, sitting in the hot tub whilst looking out into the forest and listening to the weather. Following that up with then being able to sit in the warmth and comfort of the cabin with the log fire burning and watch a movie or two. Even if we did feel like venturing out, we were only 10 15 minutes away from Inverness proper so never felt too isolated. On top of this the owners are amazingly communicative and approachable and made sure our stay was perfect. Thoroughly recommended across the board.

Amazing lodge best we have ever stayed in so peaceful and well looked after. Toilet roll, dishwasher tablets, washing machine tablets, washing up liquid, soap, handwash, tea towels, hand and bath towels, flannels, oven gloves, hot tub towels are all provided so dont need to take own which is very handy, saving room in the carless to pack. Highly recommend this place if like to be somewhere peaceful.

Fantastic log cabin in a great location we will definitely return

Everything you need is at Heron Lodge. The owners are particularly keen on green issues in and surrounding the Lodges. You are in an area of oustanding natural beauty so for example don't bring fairy liquid or dishwasher tablets as they aren't on mains drainage or sewerage, they have a digester so salts and any other cleaning products are not advised. Everything is very close by and there are some very good pubs with great food. Glen Affric is a must. Make sure you prebook attractions to avoid dissapointment.

The lodge is just perfect. Great location, everything you could possibly need provided, the hosts really have thought of everything. Great base for sight seeing, loads of places you can visit not too far from lodge. We had such a relaxing break, our dog thoroughly enjoyed it too. Hope to be back in the near future. Highly recommend staying here.

The Heron Lodge was a fantastic location for a holiday. The accommodation was very comfortable and very well kitted out. The hot tub and bbq were very well used. The area was excellent for walking and cycling. The hosts could not have done enough for us. Thoroughly recommended.

The owners of the lodges are lovely people. ..nothing is too much trouble, so peaceful...we will go back.

Fantastic lodge. We had a brilliant stay with our dogs. Loads to do nearby. The owners are very lovely too. Thank you for the goodies basket upon our arrival. Well be coming back.

Fabulous lodge and a perfect getaway. Ideal for some relaxation and quiet time, yet close enough to shops should you need anything. The lodge was in very clean condition and the owners were superb and happy to help or advise at any time. The wood burning stove and the hot tub were a delight, and we will most certainly be back in the near future.

Brilliant location with lots to see and do. The owners were helpful and friendly and had thought of everything to make the lodge a home from home. Would recommend this property.

Totally amazing! !! The lodge was wonderful with so many small details considered. The owners were absolutely lovely. The location is perfect, isolated yet only a 10 minute drive to Inverness and central to explore the highlands. Our expectations were exceeded and we will definitely be back to stay in the near future.

An amazing lodge with fantastic owners near by should you need them. Would happily recommend heron lodge to anyone.

The lodge and setting allowed us to just chill out relax and recover from a busy year

Fantastic lovely cabin. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay

I cant emphasise enough just how much our expectations were exceeded at Heron Lodge from the warm welcome to the immaculate and perfectly appointed lodge. Everything had been carefully considered to make our stay as luxurious and comfortable as possible. I wouldnt hesitate for a second coming back here again.

This was by far one the most beautiful holiday accommodations we have ever stayed at. Very high standard of cleanliness and comfort,surrounded by lovely woodlands.The hot tub was a welcome bonus,and our hosts couldn't do enough to make us welcome.

Heron lodge was a fabulous place to stay We wanted a quiet location with high standard accomodation which was precisely what we got The woodland setting is so tranquil and calming Yet only a 5 minute drive away you have great roads to travel across Scotland far and wide and local villages such as North Kessock and Munlochy with great places to eat out. A super dog friendly lodge with walks on your doorstep. Will return one day sooon and would recommend to any one seeking a peaceful location

We had a fantastic week away was just like home loved it, will definitely be coming back.

Excellent cottage with friendly and helpful owners Brilliant area to explore ... Excellent cottage with friendly and helpful owners Brilliant area to explore everyone we met was very friendly Had some excellent fresh salmon from the fish van Really liked beach at Nairn good fish and chips on main street Train to Kyle of Lochalsh was very good as was the Baxters food visitor centre

Absolutely brilliant hosts, stunning location and quality log cabin. We would definitely return. Simply superb! Best place we have ever stayed.

Everything you could ever need packed into a beautiful and traditional log cabin in an ideal location. Lovely owners whom made our stay perfect. Thank you

This lodge was better than advertised! Completely secluded and quiet, with every home comfort it gave us everything we wanted for a complete break. The hot tub was a special favourite and the setting in the woods was a magical feeling. The hosts also could not do enough to make us feel comfortable and were available should we need anything but never interrupted our holiday time. Could not top this!

Me, my husband and two dogs stayed in Heron Lodge. We could not have been happier. The log cabin is beautiful and in lovely surroundings. Everything was provided for us and the owners went above and beyond to make our stay stress free including a lovely welcome pack and lots of information of the surrounding area. Plenty of lovely walks for the dogs and the locals are also very friendly. We also enjoyed the hot tub in the evening to relax after the walks. We have recommended the lodges to family and friends and hope to return soon!
