Mallard Lodge Reviews

Stunning views and great location. The lodge itself could have been cleaner, we ended up finding an vape down the side of the couch.. And please note, if you want ice for your drinks, there is no freezer. The bedroom was spacious but the mattress could do with replacing to a more comfortable one But overall, we had a lovely stay and enjoyed the hot tub very much. Booking was easy and checking in and out with the key safe was great

Stephanie

My fianc, our dog and I had a lovely few nights stay here. It was cosy, relaxing and the perfect place to unwind. There was a great variety of activities to choose from during our stay, and we decided to try the clay shooting and air rifle. A big thank you to Brian for taking us clay shooting and showing us the ropes, and to Jay for helping us and showing us how to use the air rifle. We really enjoyed both activities and had such a great time. Jay was incredibly welcoming, generous and kind, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Well definitely be booking to stay again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with plenty to do!

Me and my partner recently stayed at the mallard lodge with our dog. Facilities were clean and easy accessible. Jay was very accommodating and also gave us please ty of privacy. It was also a bonus she had a little dog which was extremely friendly and playful. The dogs had fields to run around in. Grounds were lovely for walks. We enjoyed the scenery and the wildlife. Lodge and hottub were clean and decor up to good standard. Would definitely go back

Great little cabin. Clearly quite new. Immaculate. Easy to find following the directions. Beautiful view across the lake and countryside and so far from any traffic that you can literally escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The host welcomed us and was very friendly. Couldnt ask for more. Will definitely return.

Amazing lodge to stay at. Enjoyed waking up in the morning looking over the lake and a lovely view. The owner, Jay, was very welcoming and very helpful. Invited us in for drinks and boardgames one evening. Really nice location with plenty to do on site and around. Inside was brilliant. All rooms are great, everything you need is there. Nice to have a hot tub that your able to use aswell as a great sized shower too. Highly recommend to anyone thats looking for a relaxing holiday at a nice place of scenery!

The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable, only saw her a couple of times ... The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable, only saw her a couple of times but she was very approachable , hot tub could do with a little maintenance

Property could have been cleaner and could do with a really deep clean Apart from that has everything you need for a nice stay Not so good when people are out clay pigeon shooting most of the day but didnt start until 10am ish so not a big deal as we were out for the day but definitely a watch out !

William

It was a nice break storm Dave so weather not great, everything in the lodge was functional, I had to fix the w Roller blinds in the bedroom no Biggie, it would benefit from some fimer touches, like for instance a shower mat to stand on instead of having to use a hand towel but overall pretty good. Roof rattled quite a lot due to the wind, the electrics tripped once due to to many appliances on at once IE heater, kettle, very helpful the owner's came to reset it straight away. The bin is at the beginning of the drive around a mile down the road don't walk unless you want to get the steps in

Was not happy overall. Bed not comfy. Waiting on water heating up for shower. Cleanliness throughout was bad.

Had such a wonderful team cant thank the owner enough. The location was amazing and the lodge was beautiful and the Hot Tub was great. Definitely going back and a big thank you to the owner. and the owners dog was beautiful.

Nicola

Ashley

Darren

This cottage was a disgrace, we were driving around trying to find it for over an hour, we had to ask somebody, and they told us it was 2 miles down this dirt track, so we find it, the floor was full of dust, cobwebs everywhere and grime in all corners, the cups in the cupboard had been drank out of, then instead of washing, were put straight back in cupboard, there was no ttowel,paint was peeling off bathroom skirting board, there was hair everywhere in the bedroom, pet hair and human hair, the carpet was thick with them, the bed was broken, and a block of wood was holding one end of the bed up, there was no pillow cases on some of the pillows, at 4. 30 am my partner had woken up and was covered head to toe in a rash, we packed up straight away and came home, it was a nightmare, we had tried contacting the phone number left in the lodge but it was never answered, i got in touch with sykes to get my money back, but could have to wait 30 days just for a reply,

Debbie

We loved our 2 night stay, the weather wasn't on our side but you don't rely on sunshine when on holiday in Scotland. We used the muti activity option also and loved that so would definitely recommend.

Our stay was amazing loved every minute and didnt want to leave. Gorgeous views and owner was very helpful.

Lovely peaceful place to stay, plenty to do in area, beautiful views, nice clean cabin, lovely owner who was very helpful.

Rosanna

Angela
