+ We have stayed in Loch Kinord Lodges in 2021 and decided to stay there again this year. We love the location - not only it's close to many great attractions, but the woodland walk behind the lodges is fantastic. Our lodge was clean and had everything we needed. Beds were super comfy, central heating warmed the whole lodge in 10 minutes (weather was a bit cold) and we just enjoyed relaxing atmosphere. Rooms are nice and spacious and place is well kept. Perfect place for family holidays. Staff was very nice and helpful. I must add that the bed in bigger bedroom is huge :) my wee boy got scared at night and came to our bed (with two adults in it) and there was still plenty of space to have comfortable night. We have stayed in Loch Kinord Lodges in 2021 and decided to stay there again this year. We love the location - not on...
