We had an amazing trip to Scotland staying in this lovely lodge. It was in a beautiful quiet location and a good base for visiting other areas. The accommodation was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Thanks for a great review!! Glad you had a great time :)
Gorgeous lodge in a perfect location. It was an ideal home from home with everything we needed there. We had pre-arranged a Tesco delivery, when we arrived it had all been put away for us, such a lovely gesture! The decor was lovely, the gardens beautiful and our stay was just perfect. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Hi Angela !!
Thanks for the great review, we are so happy you had a wonderful holiday and putting the shopping away for you was absolutely no problem. Hopefully see you again in the not to distant future :)
We received a warm welcome and everything was explained upon arrival.
We decided to find a central base to explore the Highlands by car and Torcroft was just ideal. Ullapool, Fort William, Fort Augustus, Aviemore, Cairngorm National Park, Plodda Falls, Glen Affric and Isle of Skye are all doable as day trips.
Returning home each evening to cosy, comfortable and well equipped cabin.

Hi Mike
Thanks for the lovely review, we are so glad you had a great holiday , look forward to seeing you again soon.
Lucy & Simon.
Lovely, warm, well equipped lodge in a beautiful location. We stayed in Meikle, which has 4 very nice bedrooms. We would definitely like to come back, there is so much to see and do within a short drive.
The best location in Scotland to be centrally located. Gorgeous place. Staff was wonderful and friendly. Cabin are clean and well maintained. Perfect for a self sufficient vacation very eco friendly.

Many thanks for your review , glad you enjoyed your stay!!
So I read every review about the Torcroft Lodges before booking. We stayed for one week in cabin 5, so this whole review is based on that particular cabin. I read about everything from rusty nails to electric meters. Our cabin was very clean upon our arrival and the metal between floors was on the newer side. Simon did load about 13 one euro coins in our electric meter before arrival and this lasted us until two days before leaving. It takes about 3 coins a day to run the cabin. Simon originally installed the meters to make us think on how we use power. A bit of a pain on vacation, but no big deal. Internet was on the slow side, but cellular reception was good and had about 20 channels on the television. The location is central to so much in Northern Scotland and in a nice wooded area. Parking is right on the side of our cabin. If your looking for 5 star accommodations this is not for you, but if you want a great spot to base your travels at a decent price this is ideal. I would stay here again in a minute.
Highly recommended! This is a great place with lot of love and warmth, such a lovely vintage house!

Well-equipped lodge near Loch Ness & Woods
Very friendly and helpful owner of the Lodge met us as we arrived. Location is very close to Loch Ness, although if visitors wish to get to a Loch Ness beach they will need to drive to the other side of the Loch. Cabin is near wooded areas with many picnic sites and trails to explore. The cabin was clean, well equipped and cosy. Would highly recommend. We would love to visit again!
We are on a vacation trip to London and the Scottish highlands. We are traveling with family of 4. I booked this cabin because of the recommendations of prior guests. The reviews and pictures do not do this place justice. The cabin is lovely with the owners caring for every detail.. it is immaculately clean. Lucy and Simon leave you coffee, tea, sugar and biscuits to get started when you arrive. Excellent location for exploring highlands. Would love to return and stay longer. The cabin is equipped with everything you need and is in a lovely setting.
Beautiful area, close to the sweet village of Drumnadrochit, where we were able to have tea at a local tearoom, every day. The lodge was comfy and the owners were exceptionally kind. Cannot wait to return!
We arrived over a day late (36+ hours) due to flight issues, and late at night. We were warmly greeted by our host into our lovely 2-bedroom cabin. The lodge was comfortable and tastefully decorated. The setting is quiet, peaceful and incredibly beautiful. If we ever get the chance to visit Scotland again, I’d be more than half staying here.
Stayed a week in Torcroft Lodges ( No 3 ). It is a great base to eplore Loch Ness and the Highlands. It was homely, clean, had all the essentials you need for a self catering holiday. Lucy and Simon are on site and are the perfect host, always helpful if needed. I highly recommend Torcroft Lodges.
Absolutely loved it, enjoyed it....perfect for the family....can't imagine to stay in hotel in 1 room with the kids. This was just perfect. Nice, quiet, felt secure, lovely location...... we stayed for the week...no problem whatsoever... .recommend.
We stayed in lodge 3 found it clean and tidy tea coffee and biscuits provided as well as fresh milk in the fridge. A vase of fresh flowers was an unexpected bonus. But a lovely touch.
We were welcomed by Simon who was very friendly and approachable..
The lodge was ideally located for what we wanted to do and see. We are hoping to stay again at some time.

great relaxing break
Good place to stay Simon very helpful.Great nights sleep.
Downside is place got cold and was not told til half way up they have £1 coin electric meters.So spent a lot on keeping place warm.Bathroom and hall always cold no matter if you put all heaters on .If you take kids please be careful as stood on a rusty nail and only just avoided a trip to hospital.
Cosy little cottages, which are a bit out of town, were well equiped and had a pleasant view towards the lawn and forest.
We totally enjoyed our stay here.
We had a really wonderful stay. The hosts were very helpful and welcoming. The lodges were very clean and tidy and there lots of extra touches such as board games CD player and CD's also DVD's and a welcoming supply small supply of tea coffee sugar and milk. It's also in an ideal spot for touring the Highlands
We stayed here May 9th-May 12th. Simon was there to greet us the moment we pulled up. He was very friendly and showed us around the property. It's in a lovely area not far from Drumnadrochit along Loch Ness. We used this as our base for exploring Loch Ness, Isle of Skye, John O'Groats/Orkney Islands and the Cairngorms. We were in Lodge 5 and it was so comfortable and clean. They had tea supplies and cookies set out for us when we arrived. It felt like we were going home very night. I will definitely be staying at these lodges again on future trips!
Perfect location to explore Loch Ness and the Highlands. The kids could play outside and parents could relax! Friendly welcome from Simon & Lucy and couldn't have asked for a better week in Scotland.
We stayed at lodge #5 for 9 nights for our honeymoon. Everything was great. Simon was SO nice and the lodge had everything we needed to feel at home. Being able to use a kitchen saved us so much money. I would recommend to anyone who asks and would love to go back!
Sehr schöne Lodges mit herrlich ruhiger Umgebung. Alles sehr sauber und auch sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Eigene Küche, geräumiges Wohnzimmer sowie 2 Schlafzimmer Flur und Bad. Zudem ein großer Garten mit eigener Bank und Tisch zum frühstücken. Absolut empfehlenswert um nach einem langen Ausflug zu entspannen und Kräfte für den nächsten Tag zu sammeln.
Pasamos 9 días en Torcroft Lodges y nos sentimos como en casa.
La casa es muy confortable y muy bien equipada.
El entorno es naturaleza pura, con mucha tranquilidad.
Recomendamos totalmente esta opción de alojamiento.

Accueil convivial par Simon, qui nous a présenté le lodge et répondu à nos questions de visites et très bien conseillé.
Parfait pour rayonner sur le Lochness, les Highland et le nord de l'Écosse. Randonnées dans le Glen affric et dans les environs très agréables.
Lodge composé d'un salon avec cuisine aménagee, 2 chambres, SDB. Très spacieux et propre. Grand jardin avec table de jardin. Un paquett de gâteaux et du lait dans le frigo nous attendait.
Laverie commune aux 2 autres Lodges avec machines à laver le linge et sèche-linge. Prévoir 1 pièce de £1 pour le compteur électrique et pour le sèche-linge.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour (10 jours). Tout était parfait. Idéal pour se ressourcer. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.
