About the Lodge

The access to Dalnaspidal Lodge is along a private road, via a railway crossing. Located at the eastern shores of Loch Garry, this remote, spacious lodge offers charm and warmth and provides resplendent accommodation for up to 12 people. If required, the small but perfect Dalnaspidal Cottage furnished to the same exceptional standard can be made available at an extra charge. The nearby cottage provides self-contained accommodation for an additional four people, but there is ample room to dine together in the main lodge.

Loch Garry occupies a deep northeast-southwest aligned trench cut by glacial action, which has resulted in a dramatic landscape that guests can enjoy. The lodge is situated in a perfect location to explore the Cairngorm National park, Highland Perthshire, further afield to the beautiful west coast or the northern Highlands.

The large light and airy drawing-room has an open fire, plenty of deep sofas, comfortable chairs, and exceptional views of Loch Garry and the surrounding mountains. A door leads through to the large conservatory.

The conservatory runs along the entire length of the drawing-room and offers spectacular views directly down the loch. French windows lead out to the lawns, where garden furniture is provided for guests to relax outside.

An open fire, subtle lighting, and sumptuous textiles add to the celebration of luxurious finishes in this room.

Customer Testimonials

“Fabulous property. 5 Star luxury. Everything thought of, from water beside your bed to fully equipped kitchen, logs provided, full set of high quality toiletries in each bathroom. Everything about this is high quality. It’s recently renovated to an extremely high, tasteful standard. Was perfect for a special family get together. Plenty of space for 12 people. Fantastic views down to Loch Garry. Lots of walking opportunities right from the door. Don’t be put off by the proximity on the map to the A9. You can’t see or hear it from this property. Be prepared to be blown away by the scale and grandeur of this property.”
“We had a great stay and couldn’t fault the service throughout the weekend from the on-site team and in advance from your team.”

Julie Bird

Thank you for truly the most wonderful family holiday that we’ve ever shared. We had described the beauty of the location and of the house but seeing their faces, seeing it all for the first time, was magical. We hope to make it an annual event now!
