Torcroft Lodge
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.

Fantastic stay!
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.

Perfect base for exploring the highlands.
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.

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.

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.

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!

Excellent, excellent, excellent!
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!

Beautiful home away from home
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.

Highland Heaven
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.

Ideally located
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.

Lovely little place to stay
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!

Cottage close to Loch Ness
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!

Absolut idyllische Lage
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.

Excellent séjour à Torcroft Lodges
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.
