Great B&B!
Lorene was a lovely host, we enjoyed an evening chat with her. Breakfast is really good (I especially loved super tasty cereal :-) with fresh fruits) & proper Italian coffee. Her place is just wonderful - very clean, modern and well located to enjoy the piece and quiet of Kinloch.

Home away from home
My Mum (visiting me from Taiwan) and I both felt at when we walked into the lodge. Everything we saw was pleasing, tidy and tasteful. The environment was peaceful and relaxing. It was raining hard and cold on our revival but the whole house was warm and dry. The host was friendy and easy to have conversations. The beds were super comfortable and the bathroom was very clean and specious.
