"This was our 3rd VRBO stay on our tour of Scotland in a transit van. We were a family of 5 adults and Lodge 10 was a great base camp with ample parking from which we explored the area. The Lodge was airy and bright despite the stubborn fog. The only reason we give this property 4 stars instead of 5 is there were some things in need of maintenance and sprucing up. But, we would gladly stay here again!"
