The lodge is absolutely perfect, spotless, cosy warm, comfy beds, kitchen well stocked, fantastic fridge freezer etc, lovely shower, nice snug, exceptionally quiet site and beautiful area. The site does not cater for re-cycling your rubbish, but if you are like us and feel guilty putting a bottle or cardboard in the general waste, there are re-cycling bins 5 mins down the road on the car park at the golf club. We had a lovely week at Avonal lodge and will not hesitate to return there. Would highly recommend it.

Just cant fault anything about the Lodge. On reading the comments in the visitors book within the premises, a number of the entry's are from returning visitors, which really says all one needs to know. Similarly, we would have no hesitation in returning and hopefully will do so one day. Thanks to Allan & Pat (owners) for checking in to see that we were happy and to Douglas (site manager) for a warm welcome on arrival. A tremendous base for exploring to whole of central Scotland.
