Such a beautiful location to explore locally or further afield - great for dog walking and some lovely places to eat out. The lodge was clean and tidy and because it's on its own, you really have a very peaceful stay. The covered hot tub is a luxury, especially with Scottish weather! The hosts Margaret and James are extremely accommodating and Marg aret's home baking on arrival was absolutely delicious - such a lovely treat to arrive to! We hope to return soon :)

Joann

If youre looking for peace and serenity this is the place to go. When all you can see around you is fields with cattle and sheep you know youre away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The lodge is very comfortable, and that includes the beds just lovely. We didnt venture much. But thats what we wanted/needed a truly relaxing break. The ho t tub is great and as we arrived when the weather changed for the worst, ideal being undercover. Margaret & James are fabulous hosts. Thanks

Sarah

This lodge was absolutely perfect for me and my dog. A beautiful large well maintained enclosed garden for him to play in. It had everything you could possibly need in self catering accommodation. The enclosed hot tub and sunset views were spectacular. And the home baking - well, just the icing on the cake really. Id definitely recommend this place and the owners couldnt have been more welcoming / friendly. 5 stars from me and the pup! :-) Well definitely be back!

Elizabeth

James and Margaret were the best holiday hosts - so friendly and helpful. Loved Margaret's home baking and James going out of his way to give us close views of newly born calves and lambs. The location is so peaceful - lovely walks from the lodge and local villages a short car ride away. The lodge is immaculate, spacious and with all the facilities - en suite, main bathroom, TVs in bedrooms and of course the hot tub! we felt excellent value for money . Highly recommended - we will return!

Philippa

The most incredible getaway any of us have had. Margaret is such an incredible host, arriving to a host of freshly baked treats! What more could you ask for? The space is spotlessly clean, the beds luxurious and comfy. Everything you could ever need to cook with in the kitchen. The hottub is massive, a real treat after a day of rambling around sayi ng hello to all the highland coos! Never had such attentive lovely hosts and we cannot wait to come back again.

James

We recently chose Duchal Lodge to celebrate my husbands birthday and it did not disappoint! The location was great, very secluded yet accessible to local villages and only 30 mins to Glasgow. The Lodge itself was beautiful. It was clean, spacious and very well equipped. The hot tub being under cover is a great idea. A few welcoming home bakes were enjoyed by everyone. The highlight for me was nothing being too much trouble for Margret, she helped to make our weekend very special. X

Graeme

We really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was fantastic and would definitely come back. The location was very secluded and the hot tub jacuzzi was fantastic. Fantastic facilities and very quiet.

Joenalyn

The cottage is very clean and comfortable, all essentials provided and have a nice view of the surrounding, it's aldo perfect for the dog to roam about as its all gated. We also had a nice home baking and a bottle of proseco which is really amazing.

Debbie

We arrived to a very worm welcome from a lovely lady called Margret. (Owner) Duchal lodge is set in some beautiful farm land with rolling hills all around. Its fully equipped with everything you need for your stay & more A Very clean & comfortable home from home & the hot tub was amazing too. We wouldnt hesitate to recommend this lovely place for a holiday. Looking forward to hopefully going back soon.

Lorraine

Spotless, clean & tidy lodge. Lovely area to relax and enjoy the peace. Very quiet & lovely views of cows & sheep from all windows. Everything you need for your stay. Hosts couldnt be more attentive. Lovely goodies in welcome basket and lots of home baking ready on arrival. Looking forward to visiting again.

William

Our stay at the Duchal Lodge was perfect. The lodge is extremely well appointed, very comfortable beds and excellent enclosed outdoor space for our dog to explore safely. The owners left the most complete welcome basket we have ever received, from multiple home baking samples to Prosecco and more! The USP of the lodge is it stands alone with nothin g but fields and some cattle to share it with. Its very peaceful and relaxing yet only 5 mins from the nearby town for supplies or restaurants.

Laura

We absolutely loved our stay here! The lodge is gorgeous and so well equipped. Margaret and James were absolutely lovely and Margarets baking was such a treat- best shortbread ever! Our little girls loved being with the sheep and cows and its perfectly situated for Glasgow, the coast and Loch Lomond. The hot tub is also fab and the whole place is s o well looked after. Wed definitely stay here again! Thanks so much for the stay!

Rosemarie

You have thought of everything possible to make your guests feel welcomed and more than comfortable throughout their stay. We enjoyed every moment, we would highly recommend you and fingers crossed will get to come again. A huge than you to you both, James and Margaret

Katrina

This was our third stay at Duchal Lodge and have already booked to go again in 2023. We love this place and is ideal and perfect for our needs. James and Margaret the hosts are lovely and really care about making your stay a memorable one. Margaret's baking never disappoints and the hot tub is lovely to chill out in at the end of the day. The locat ion is perfect, lovely and quiet. My greyhounds also love having the freedom of the garden as its all enclosed. xxx

Maria

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Duchal Lodge. If you're looking for an idyllic location and luxury accommodation, this is the cottage for you. Our welcome pack was sumptuous and generous (thank you!) and we all loved the hot tub! Our dog was safe and secure, and has never slept better on any holiday. We definitely recommend this cottage.

Vicky

Truly wonderful lodge - bigger and even better than the photos suggest. It feels like home in a matter of hours. Margaret and James are very keen to ensure your holiday is a success - it's lovely to have such caring hosts to hand if needed - thank you for the warm welcome! The views are a delight - the twinkling lights of Glasgow are a different wo rld to the calm surrounding the property. I would loved to have stayed longer :-)

Jeremy

Gutted we had to leave. Margaret and James are fantastic hosts. We wanted a peaceful holiday and Duchal lodge is perfect for this. Set in the middle of fields filled with young cows and bullocks, about 10 foot away from your bedroom window, we talked to them every morning. The welcome pack is the best i have ever seen and even home cooking!. Very w ell equipped, clean and well presented, and a covered hot tub. Perfect for us three and a Goldendoodle. Cannot fault. Cheers.

John

Fantastic Lodge and Hot tub was great. Very peaceful location and great host's. Good garden for kid's to play in. Highly recommend!
