Lovely communal area with balcony . The comfortable couches and large table in the lounge and kitchen area . Nice and quiet . Loved the hot tub and the short walk across to the restaurant. Loved the walks and grounds and garden areas well maintained. Hot tub checked every morning by staff. Great place for a group holiday or families for fishing and golf and able to bring dogs with you too
Balconies could do with a wash and hose down as loads of spider webs . No brush available to sweep all the leaves off the balcony. Although balcony was great , trees blocked our view of the loch and the sunrise/sunset. Other lodges didn’t have that obstruction, could do with cutting back the height of trees directly in front of Glen Finlet lodge.

Great stay in bankside bothy. Lovely wee pet friendly cabin with a good sized secure garden. The cabin was very comfortable, great beds and a nice comfy sofa. The bathroom was a decent size and the shower was good. The hotel tub was amazing once it was hot enough to use. The Forbes of kingennie resort is beautiful with great facilities.
The hotel tub was set at 15 degrees on arrival and we had to turn it up ourselves so it was too cold to use for the first night of our stay. Although the cabin sleeps 4 people it is quite small and only really has inside seating for 2. It would be fine for a small family but not ideal for 4 adults.

Clean, good amenities, lovely location, private. A double edged sword for this one - hot tub was very clean and not hugely chlorinated - most likely due to them cleaning it so regularly.
The hot tub was still cold when we checked in because it’s emptied and cleaned thoroughly, but it meant we couldn’t use it until 10pm at night, then you aren’t allowed to use it on the morning you leave because it’s emptied and cleaned for the next person early. It meant that we only got to use it for a short time and very late at night. As I said though, double edge sword as it was great as it was so clean but didn’t get that much use as was at a wedding during the day.

The restored Boathouse is in a stunning location overlooking one of the ponds. Very quiet and peaceful with great wildlife. The 'lodge' is very comfortable.
The fixtures and fittimgs, whilst sumptuous are a little 'style over substance'. There is hardly any countertop space to prepare meals, should you wish to self-cater. The bathroom is open plan, i.e. no door and it opens out onto the bedroom. One can be fully seen by any occupants of the bedroom whilst bathing or showering. There is a glass screen beside the loo, but no door, so whilst not seen one can be heard. This may not suit everyone and is not 'highlighted' in the blurb.

A fantastic family getaway! The cabin was spacious, spotless, and offered breathtaking views. The location itself is stunning—an ideal setting for a peaceful holiday with loved ones. We especially enjoyed relaxing in the bar area and had a great time at the quiz night. Plus, it’s one of the most dog-friendly places we’ve ever stayed, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
If we had to mention one small thing, the kitchen could’ve used a few more serving bowls and plates, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience.

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.

The compact shepherd's hut was well designed and comfortable. Activities on offer were excellent, including golf and fishing. Very peaceful and private. The service from staff in the bar and restaurant was superb, very attentive and professional.
We paid extra for having our dog (normal I suppose for extra cleaning) but there wasn’t even a dog bowl for water. The garden space outside also had gaps at the bottom of the fence where our dog would go exploring so it wasn’t secure enough.

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.
