Location was stunning. View from upstairs was amazing. Would have been fab to site out on the balcony but unfortunately was not the right time of year. Due to no freezer facilities we were supplied an ice bucket and could walk to the bar to get if filled with ice. Which was fine until it got dark
No freezer or freezer compartment in fridge. Central heating was roasting hot upstairs but bedroom were freezing cold. Even turning the controller on the radiators didn't help. Tap in kitchen dripped constantly. Didn't spoil our weekend thought. Good definitely outdated the bad

The staff. The food . The room. All amazing. Couldnt fault it. They handle allergies for food very well too. I ordered something i thought was safe. The kitchen caught it as i made them aware. Offered me a wide range of other choices. All staff friendly and kind. Couldnt do enough to make sure you were happy and comfortable. Very clean room. VERY. We strugfled with the heating and fireplace and someone was out in minutes and helped us. Food was delicious. Best steak we have had in a long time. Wine list was great and great options to pair with food. Romantic night away achieved. Thank you!
Only thing i think we worried about was the firmness of the matress. But was actually pretty comfortable.

Tranquil setting. Excellent restaurant. Waitress in restaurant absolutely first class and excellent chef! We thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal.
Lack of bedside cabinets, or shelf at side of bed. Could be much cleaner. Floor wasn’t particularly clean, especially around bed. As bed close to wall, each time we got into bed we were accompanied by dust and grit from the floor which wasn’t pleasant. Lots of dusty cobwebs. Requires a good clean, not just a whip round which makes it look clean on first entrance. On leaving, staff member (when eventually found someone for reception), did not ask if we enjoyed our stay, quite disinterested in customer. Disappointing as place could be so much better.

Beautiful views. Comfortable accomodation. Loved the cosy feel and the bath and wood burner. Staff really friendly and helpful. Food was excellent too. We found it to be very relaxing.
We couldn"t work the tempreature on the thermostat and found it too warm. Especially at night when the doors closed. The huts location could be more private. Fishermen positioned themself lake side at the foot of our cabin and as the hot tub isnt covered, it felt intrusive. Fortunately they didnt stay too long. We went for food and drinks and they were away on our return otherwise id have had to ask them to move on. The bedroom would benefit from a bedside table/shelf for your phone or bottled water. Also some chairs to sit on outwith the sunshine. We were fortunate to get good weather and had to then sit on the astrograss. The swing is nice but not practical.

The location, secluded and quiet . Beautiful views. Short walk to clubhouse, the boathouse was lovely and warm, clean and inviting. If you have mobility problems you may struggle with the ramp down to the boathouse as you park your car further up and have to walk down.
Nothing bad but a few suggestions Pop a few scourers in the kitchen for doing dishes Have a rubber mat in bathroom for when coming out the bath it gets slippy. The sound system in the house needs updated

The shepherd hut was beautiful, it has everything you needed and was spotless. It was amazing sleeping under the stars, very magical. The Bed was comfortable as was the sofa. The bath was amazing, l enjoyed relaxing in it every day. Never used the sauna but looked clean and smelt fresh. I liked the picnic bench too, weather was lovely so l was able to sit out.
The only thing l would possibly say was maybe 2 dish towels as the draining board made the water move over the work top. Wasn't really an issue as had the heating on so dried it on that but maybe in the summer you might need two. Also 2 toilet rolls as 1 wasn't enough.

The size of the property (Glen Lyon) exceeded my expectations, it was so spacious and I loved that there were baby gates so my toddler could not fall down the stairs when crawling around.
Our cabin was not ready for our arrival which was absolutely fine as the lovely staff at the reception offered us complimentary drinks while we waited. The issue was the cleaning process seemed to be a little rushed, when we went in there were puddles of water on the floor and didn’t have access to an ironing board, and some basic kitchen utensils that our other family members in a smaller cabin had and luckily let us use. We are understanding that lateness can happen and we had no problem to wait that little bit extra, just a little more attention to things missing from the cabin, overall a fabulous stay though, will continue to book

The resort is for relaxing and quiet...obviously great for fishermen which we weren't but did enjoy watching them throgh the poring rain! The staff were informal and friendly going the extra step with a smile. Will be back with the whole family dogs and all!
Actually only "observation' was I was inundated with emails on terms and conditions before arriving and "payment due". I phoned to confirm all was well and received an apology...so no problem and then promptly received another load of emails...lol..maybe something to look at...bit off putting before even arriving.

We had a great time in the lodge, it has everything you need in it, hot tub was amazing, beds very comfy, plenty drawers for storage, well equipped kitchen, we didn’t want to leave, we also had a 3 year old with us and she had a ball, great that it’s all enclosed so she couldn’t get out, stuff were all very welcoming and. Lovely
We didn’t not like anything, only thing I would suggest is a coat hook as there was no wear ti put ours

The staff were super friendly and helpful, could not do enough for us. All the extra's youd could add (at a discounted price) were great and the location was perfect.
People passing by could see us in our hot tub so more fencing for added privacy would be a great touch. The hot water being on a timer was a little inconveinient as when we came out the hot tub, we had to have a cold shower.
