Spectacular Views, Beautiful House, and a Sauna!
The first thing we noticed about Saltspring Lodge was the view. You can see right down the glen to the sea loch at the bottom. We never got tired of it.
The lodge itself is brand new and had everything we needed for a week with two young children. A lovely kitchen and sitting room, and a handy utility room downstairs, with a big double room and a loo. Upstairs was the master bedroom and an en suite. All were beautifully presented and spotless.
Coming from the South Birmingham suburbs, we felt like we were firmly in the highland wilderness but the lodge but the lodge is only a ten minute drive from Oban, where we could do a supermarket run very easily. We had a few great days out to Dunstaffnage Castle, beaches, but we could also have a wander closer to home and had some excellent meals at The Barn Bar, which is only a short walk away.
Julie and Charlie were absolutely fantastic hosts: welcoming, warm, helpful and full of invaluable local knowledge. The highlight for the kids was undoubtedly the chance to spend a few hours in the wood-fired hot tub, and they loved the outdoor baths. The grown ups appreciated the sauna. It really made our experience at Saltspring Lodge that little bit more special and relaxing.
It’s the best experience we’ve had with a rental in Scotland by miles. We will definitely be back!
