"Glencarron Lodge was ideal for our big family get-together when we were 'ancestor hunting' in the area. The very spacious house meant we didn't feel on top of one another. Plenty of room to sit together in the lounge and the dining room. We enjoyed the typical hunting lodge decor."

"Fantastic guest house where you are greeted with a welcome scotch or sherry. Whilst the room and en-suite were small, they were very well maintained and quaint, we loved it! The breakfast and staff were second to none and the location with views of the harbour is quite stunning. A great stay that we’d recommend for anyone."
