Rionnag Lodge Reviews

Joanne

Hubby & I loved our stay at Rionnag Lodge Terry & Janet's attention to detail is second to none! Immaculately clean & fresh on arrival, where everything you could possibly need, and more, is provided. We recieved an extremely generous welcome hamper, which was very much appreciated & enjoyed throughout our stay. This place really is 'top notch', & then some! We watched the Northern Lights dance and enjoyed several melting sunsets over the Minch & islands from the balcony! The warming wood burning stove, lifts the spirits on dismal, drizzly days and the outdoor facilities, hot tub & waterfall shower, are a welcome treat after a rigorous walk, or long day out sightseeing! Sadly, we didn't have time to try the fresh seafood, courtesy of host Terry, who is also the local fish guy, but we did sample the tremendous steak from local butcher Ken Morrison, Gairloch so good, we went back for more the very next day! Gairloch is a wonderful community, well served by the farm shop, butchers, Gale community centre, book shop, and much more all of which we thoroughly recommend. So, to the property itself a shining star, Rionnag means star, in the Wester Ross firmament! Staying in this house is like recieving a week long hug! Giant, wooden bath you can float in! Waterfall shower. Under floor heating. Flumptious towels. Cosy dressing gowns. Tremendously comfy bed in the feature bedroom, can't comment on other beds, as we only used the one bedroom. Spacious & luxurious accommodation. Every mod con, including coffee maker & hand blender, for soup making! Stunning location. Peace & quiet. Fabulous service all round 100 recommend . . . only sorry we had to leave a day early due to work commitments . . . we will be back!

Thomas

3rd time at this property & one to remember as we got married here. The owners pushed the boat out to make for an unforgettable week. Thank you so much to Terry & Janet.

Eileen

You have a stunning lodge with a fantastic view. Everything was there to make my holiday perfect. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Thank you

Danielle

Rionnag Lodge was beautiful to stay in for the week. The house had everything we needed and the lovely hamper and Prosecco was very much appreciated. The house was spotlessly clean, lovely furnishings and has magnificent views. We met Terry a few times and he was lovely, very friendly and welcoming. The fish was delicious as well thank you! The surrounding area is lovely, pebble and sandy beaches around, lovely lighthouse, great little shops in the village a short drive away and everyone we met was very friendly! The Farmshop, Info centre and cafe and the museum were all great. Wed love to go back after Easter another year to take advantage of the kayaking, horse riding and boat trips on offer but we got an amazing week this year with exceptional weather and a very laid back atmosphere in the village. Thanks very much for our holiday, wed absolutely recommend!

Joanne

Beautiful lodge with amazing views. very comfortable, lovely warm underfloor heating throughout, and wifi good considering location too. Quality high end fixtures and fitting and beds very comfortable. Everything you needed was there for you. The best welcome hamper ever! Wouldnt hesitate to recommend and book again. Thank you for a fantastic stay

An amazing property. If you are looking for a remote get away in an outstanding property look no further. The added luxury of the hot tub hidden beneath the house, it being tucked away is genius! Trust me! The lovely hamper and fizz on arrival is fab touch! Thanks for letting us stay in your amazing house. 1010!!

Stuart

Beautifully located, well equipped house, with stunning views and sunsets weather permitting. Excellent fresh seafood available on request, and when available. Perfect location to explore the area, play golf or walk.

This is a truly stunning location, a beautiful property with an ever changing view. The property is faultless and has been equipped with absolutely everything you could think of. The welcome hamper and Prosecco on arrival was a lovely surprise. The location is extremely quiet, which is exactly what we were looking for. Its a 5 minute walk to the local pebbly beach but, if you continue for a mile you will find your own stunning sandy cove. A beautiful remote location with stunning panoramic views from the property, the hot tub was a great addition too. Thank you for making our stay so memorable.

This is a stunning property in a stunning location. The house was spotless, has great facilities and is very well equipped. This was only enhanced by the friendliness of the hosts. The area is fairly remote but we knew that. Not a problem for us as the turn of every corner produced a Wow! Look at that. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Excellent home clean warm well equipped with everything needed. Beautiful unique house in a beautiful area

Louise

Wonderful location. Well equipped and very comfortable holiday house. Kind and friendly host.

Edward

We had a lovely stay at Rionnag Lodge. Situated in an unbelievably tranquil location, everything about this property is 1st Class. We liked it so much that we booked to return while still staying there. Thank you, Janet and Terry, for the welcome basket and prosecco. Much appreciated.

Excellent home clean warm well equipped with everything needed. Beautiful unique house in a beautiful area

A first class property in every way location, design, comfort, furnishings, cleanliness, welcome hamper and very helpful owners. Absolutely perfect!

Heather

Rionnag Lodge was the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in. Very clean, well maintained and equipped with everything you could need, with the exception of a manual can opener! Beautiful beach within walking distance, amazing views and stunning sunsets whilst relaxing in the hot tub. The magnum size Prosecco and hamper of goodies was a very nice surprize. Shame we didn't know the local fish delivery man lives next door, we would've ordered lots of seafood but didn't find out until reading the Visitor Comment Book on the last day! Thank you for a wonderful week, with perfect weather too!, we shall definitely recommend Rionnag Lodge and lhhscotland website to friends and family.

Lesley

Beutiful home beutiful veiws nothing negative to say would definitely visit again

Rionnag Lodge did not disappoint it is a beautiful place to stay. The hamper wuth goodies and the Prosecco in the fridge was a lovely surprise. The hot tub was an amazing treat this week and the scenery was beautiful. We have come back fully recharged if you want to get away from a busy life like we did this is the place to stay.

Thomas

This is the 2nd time at this property & it is so good we have booked it for a 3rd visit. Can't praise the house & owners enough.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Rionnag Lodge. It's a very peaceful location with stunning views, and a beautiful coastline to explore on leisurely walks. The accommodation is very comfortable and had everything we could need for a relaxed stay with family. The small person wants to know when we can go back.

Lingesh

Excellent property in a lovely location. Well facilitated & well catered for. The owners were very helpful and welcoming. We enjoyed fantastic views in Aultgrishan.

Claire

Excellent property, everything of high quality, lots of little extras you wouldn't expect. Beautiful setting.

We really enjoyed our stay at Rionnag. The house is superb, thoughtfully designed, well furnished and very comfortable, an absolute credit to the owners. The views from the house are stunning and we were treated to a couple of fabulous sunsets. After a days exploring it was wonderful to return to Rionnag and watch the constantly changing view to Skye and Lewis. There are some beautiful and mostly empty beaches within easy reach of here and some lovely walks. We have stayed in a few of LHHs houses and Rionnag is the best yet. No home is perfect but Rionnag is very close to it!

Rionnag was amazing. Great views and so peaceful. The cleanliness, the amenities, the property, the whole package was of the highest standard. The kitchen was better equipped than ours. You can see the effort Janet and Terry have put into this property and its upkeep.

Lisa Thomas

This place is just perfect. Peace & quiet. Comfort and relaxing. The property has everything you can think of and the owners have certainly thought about everything, there is nothing missing, nothing more you would want or need. They are very helpful if you need them and are on hand. The hot tub was just great. This is a 5 star property and more.

Sharon Johnston

September 2020. We had a wonderful stay at Rionnag lodge! A stunning home from home with every need catered for. Every inch of this house has been carefully planned for visitors to enjoy. The attention to detail is first class, from the fluffy towels, Denby dinnerware to the hot tub & robes, it really was superb. Positioned to enjoy the most spectacular views over the Minch to the Hebrides, we watched numerous amazing sunsets during our holiday. We would definitely return. Huge thanks to the owners Terry & Janet, theyve got a hidden gem of a place here, would highly recommend a stay.

Zoe Todd

We had a wonderful break at Rionnag Lodge the view from the floor to ceiling window over to Skye and LewisHarris is just amazing. We found ourselves sitting in the lovely sitting room simply admiring the view. Fully equipped kitchen, modern fittings and spacious accommodation that we simply loved. The hot tub was a bonus and the surrounding area beautiful to explore. When the sun came out what a spectacular place to be. Highly recommended and the owners next door very friendly and helpful even some fresh fish for us to cook for dinner. Definitely would go back.

Christopher Hudson
