The lodge is so peaceful and quiet with everything you need (spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, comfy beds, fully fitted kitchen) and the local village only 10 minRead mores drive.

Weve stayed in many different holiday flats, lodges, houses, etc over the years. Many were ok. A few were pretty good. Very few were outstanding. This though tops the lot - its faultless. After visiting for the 1st time in April we couldnt wait to get back here which we did a week ago. Its a cosy home from home. You feel like youve left civilisatioRead moren behind but its only a 10 minute drive to the classy local village. The welcome & support from the host is outstanding too. Fabulous! Hide

Duchal Lodge was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We had a lovely peaceful break. Margaret was the perfect host and left a selection of home baking which went down a treat. The lodge had everything that we required to make it feel like home. The beds were very comfortable and the views were outstanding. The enclosed hot tub was amazing and it 's the cleanest I have been in as well as being lovely and warm. We hope to go back. Faye and Brian McRitchie

Margaret and James are super hosts, nothing is too much trouble for them and Margarets delicious home baking was a lovely treat. The lodge had everything we could possib ly have needed during our stay, very well equipped. Private and peaceful, large garden, patio area ideal for dogs and children to explore. Get booked

Sarah

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!

Fiona

Fantastic house in fantastic location. You have magnificent views on all sides. Margaret and James are lovely hosts, her home baking was delicious. It is very quiet, the only sounds are the highland cattle in the neighbouring fields. The lodge has all the equipment you require, all the furnishings are very good quality and comfortable outdoor seati ng. The hot tub is a bonus being under cover. Our dogs enjoyed the space and the lovely walks straight from the lodge door. We will return.

Georgina

Beautiful place! Everything you could possibly need is in this holiday home.cant recommend it enough

Having stayed at many cottages over the years and throughout the country , Dunchal lodge is by far the best and we would highly recommend you book and enjoy as much as we did . The owners James and Margaret are so friendly and helpful and clearly they take pride in what they do and in the service provided . The location is perfect , so peaceful and scenic , the cottage is spotlessly clean , very well equipped and comfortable . The hot tub is an added bonus . We had a fab time & will be back

A beautiful lodge with lovely hosts. Can't recommend highly enough. A wonderful place with everything you could ever think to need. Comfortable and relaxing with the added luxury of the hot tub. Calm and quiet surroundings but only a short drive to Glasgow and main connecting roads throughout Scotland.

Heather

The cottage was superb & the hot tub was amazing We found everything you could ask for was in the cottage It was great to see the Cows & Sheep up close on the farm The location is great for going on trips to the west coast of Scotland & onwards to the Islands & also only 30 minutes from Loch Lomond. We will definitely be going back to stay James & Margaret were great hosts

Shona

This was our second stay at Duchal and it was just as brilliant as our first. Even though you are only 5 mins from the town, it feels like you in the middle of nowhere! The lodge is equipped with everything you need tv has Netflix, prime, Disney + etc. We had a chef come cook for us one night which was amazing!! The hosts are fantastic and the welc ome pack with home baking is the best we have ever had at lodge. We love Duchal lodge including all the animals! Book it, youll love it!

Sarah

We had a fantastic time at Duchal Lodge. Beautiful lodge, stocked fully with everything you need making it a home from home. The views were breathtaking, witnessing lambs and calves be born. Margaret & James were wonderful hosts, providing a lovely welcome pack including AMAZING home baking from Margaret. She even baked my husband an additional cak e which went down a treat. A superb place. We have already book to return next March and we are counting down the days x

Karen

The Lodge is in a super location and perfect for dog owners - there are many lovely walks in the area and some fantastic dog friendly pubs and restaurants nearby. The accommodation is wonderful - we had the most amazing stay - thanks Margaret and James - we will be back!

Tracey

From the moment you arrive being met with such a friendly welcome by Margaret & James, the beautiful location, the high quality of the accommodation & facilities, then discover the welcome hamper which includes a selection of Margarets delicious home baking, you immediately enter a world of relaxation. In our 20+ years uk self catering with dogs th is is the most luxurious, spacious & secure holiday accommodation our pups have stayed in. We have already booked for next year, its that perfect.

Joanna

We had a lovely stay. Margaret and James were most welcoming and were always close by if anything was needed. It's a beautiful lodge, very accessible and comfortable inside with plenty of outside space - there was nothing more that we could possibly have wanted. The lodge is one on its own, situated on a farm, so we had the added pleasure of lookin g directly out on to Highland cattle and sheep. On the one hand, quiet and secluded but also very close to Glasgow. Perfect!

Amy

Lovely lodge and excellent location. We went with our kids and found there was so much to do if you wanted to (and are willing to drive) but equally a great space to chill at the lodge in the hot tub when you wanted. Hosts made us feel extremely welcome and well looked after. Very clean and well maintained, with everything you need for a very comfo rtable stay. Little dog loved the walks and roaming round the secure garden. Highly recommend. Well be back.

Hopkins

Lovely place, it's only 20 minutes from my home but feels like holidaying in the middle of nowhere. The covered over hot tub is a dream as can be use in all weathers. The owners are lovely and the treats they supply (especially Margaret's home baking) go above and beyond. Would 100% recommend to everyone
