The estate offers two unique and historically interesting properties, The Boathouse and Otter Lodge, both beautifully renovated to provide luxury self-catering holiday accommodation in this lovely corner of the Highlands of Scotland. Otter Lodge is an imposing stone building set in the valley below the lake, close to the Horseshoe Falls. It used to be the ‘Powerhouse’ power generating station supplying electricity to the Estate, and the water which used to power the turbines can still be seen running beneath the house, through the viewing window in the living room floor. Derelict and roofless for many years, Otter Lodge was lovingly restored and is now an elegant and luxurious self-catering holiday home. It has two bedrooms (one king and one twin) and two bathrooms, sleeping four guests. Accommodation is entirely on the ground floor, making it accessible for those with limited mobility. Layout: Entrance Hall leads into an expansive living / dining room with dramatic high vaulted ceiling, giving an extra sense of spaciousness to an already large room, which provides a lounge area around the feature fireplace. The huge Gothic window with window seat is a lovely place to sit and admire the stream flowing beneath the house. Furnished to an impeccable standard with large comfortable sofas, and dining table and six chairs. French doors lead out to the patio area with outdoor / garden furniture. The kitchen is fully equipped with electric oven and hob, microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washer/dryer. The window at the end of the kitchen looks across the Goose burn to the bluebell wood - a special delight around May time. The master bedroom is spacious with a king-size bed and plenty of hanging and drawer space. The en-suite bathroom encompasses a bath, wash hand basin, and W.C. The twin bedroom comprises two single beds, and plenty of hanging and drawer space. The second bathroom contains a shower, wash hand basin and W.C. The outside area has a patio with timber garden furniture, and ample car parking. Heating and electricity included in your rental. We provide all bedding, bed linen and towels, TV, and WiFi (subject to fair usage policy). Dogs are welcome at an added fee of £20 per dog. Please note: Gardens/Outside areas not necessarily dog proof, even if fenced/walled, so dogs must be kept under control at all times, especially near farm animals. - EPC rating D - Highland Council Short Term Let Licence no.

S. , United Kingdom 01 Oct, 2020   Furnishings and Equipment: 8.00 Location: 10.00 Cleanliness: 10.00 Overall Service from Country Cottage Holiday: 9.00 9.25 was this review useful? superb location, spacious, clean, very comfortable, quiet The utensils and utilities in the kitchen were like they were rationed! and the bare minimum provided. e.g if you wanted whisky (likely in Scotland) there was only a large wine glass or water tumbler. You have to wash up between courses as if you use the diswasher you run out of crockery or glasses. Dreadful if you are a keen cook want to self cater. This seems to be an issue with many places. I suspect most guests just go out to eat or have tea and toast or heat something in a microwave. The provision of good vegetarian food in restaurants is so poor that you needs to cook for yourself. There is only so much pasta and risotto one can eat! G.

Beautiful cottage in a fab setting. It was lovely on a sunny day just eating a picnic lunch by the stream in the garden. The estate itself is lovely just to walk about in.

I hadn't expected to like Otter Lodge as much as the Boat House but it was gorgeous.The massive lounge is a wonderful space and we all want to come back. P.

Lovely and historic rural setting. Spacious and well-equipped. Spotlessly clean. We felt like lords of the manor. Close to villages with good pubs and shops. An excellent base to travel north, south, east and west. Otter Lodge is the benchmark against which all other holiday homes are judged and found wanting! Definitely 11 out of 10. A couple of minor matters which we reported to the housekeeper in a note when we left. Loose toilet seats, instruction manuals missing, couldn't work tv etc but nothing that detracted from our enjoyment of Otter Lodge and its environs. H.

The lodge is charming; set in beautiful surroundings where we had privacy without isolation and lovely walks on the estate. There is easy access to delightful villages and a fabulous walking beach - all within a few miles. It was ideal for what we wanted We loved the lodge and Gillian could not have been more helpful. The lodge is immaculate. We mainly cooked at the lodge and got used to the eccentricities of the cooker. We also struggled to keep the heating off ! My ancient dachshund had the time of his life.
