About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

On a private hill farm estate. Set in stunning scenery close to the coast.

South Lodge is a single storey self-catering holiday cottage nestled into the side of the wood. The cottage is in an elevated position looking over to the main estate house and the loch and hills beyond.

You enter the cottage up three steps to the porch where you can leave all your wellies and coats, then onto the landing which has two doors. The right hand door leads to a large comfortable bedroom with a super king sized four poster bed. The bedroom has fitted cupboards, a chest of drawers, dressing table and two double glazed windows looking out across the woods and lawns. The door to the left leads into the cosy, relaxing sitting room with log burner, smart free sat TV, docking station, comfy sofa and chair. The two double glazed windows also have beautiful views.

Off the far end of the sitting room is a door which leads to the kitchen and shower room.

The kitchen to the right is well equipped with fridge freezer, washing machine, electric cooker and microwave and all the equipment you would need to prepare food.

The shower room to the left has a large walk in Aqualisa shower with excellent pressure, basin and WC.

This charming cottage has its own garden laid mostly to lawn with a selection of garden furniture and a mobile Barbecue for summer evenings. If you are quiet you can spot the red squirrels feeding regularly off the cottages own bird table which we feed.

An open shed provides ideal storage for bikes or a roof box and room for off road parking.

There is also a large log shed and logs are provided free but some need to be split with the axe provided.

South Lodge has everything you would need and is a true ‘Home from Home’.

The cottage is very pretty and very tastefully decorated. The bed is very comfortable and we slept well. The estate is lovely and we really appreciated the walk suggestions provided. Our only criticism is that the property is not properly ventilated and it was very damp (even with some black mould in one or two places, which was concerning).

Particularly enjoyed the spaciousness and comfort of the accommodation. The maps for walks in and around the estate were an unexpected bonus, which was taken full advantage of. A surprising coincidental connection to the estate owner. The flapjacks were the best we'd ever tasted (recipe?)! The only disappointment was the DVD/CD player incompatible with the TV/sound system, so were unable to enjoy the music and movies we'd brought. Otherwise, a well deserved 5 stars!

Just what we were looking for
Lovely cottage in fantastic location. A peaceful setting close to nature. The whole region has loads of places of interest and beautiful settings. We had our dog with us and everywhere we visited was dog friendly. A great place to go on long walks, explore historical landmarks or just relax and take things easy. I would definitely return. Having excellent weather definitely added to our experience.

Beautiful location
Cottage was well equipped and cleaned to high Covid-19 specification. Location was beautiful and peaceful - on a private estate road with no public traffic. Plenty of fabulous walks on the estate and the surrounding area. Totally recommend the host's home-made flapjack.

Sweet cottage surrounded by flowers with all amenities
We had a wonderful week. The location is perfect - so much to do and see close by and very dog friendly. Our West Highland White Terrier loved rediscovering her roots. Willa was welcoming and available to resolve any issues. We hope to return!

A lovely cottage in a beautiful area
The cottage was exactly what we expected. It was a good size particularly the bedroom and plenty big enough for the two of us and our two dogs. It has everything you need, and being able to light a fire when you have been out walking all day in the cold is just the best thing and it really does warm the whole cottage. It is located in a beautiful area and we enjoyed some great walks around the estate seeing some amazing wildlife. The area has a beautiful coastline and plenty of places to visit. Kilmory Knap Chapel is a must to see along with Kilmory beach. Our dogs love the sea! We didn't eat out but we did see quite a few dog friendly pubs and cafes while we were travelling around. We would definitely recommend this cottage and the surrounding area.

Very nice and helpful hosts on the farm at Loch Ederline. The cottage is very tastefully decorated and has all the essentials for a stay. You can do a lot, it's quiet and close to nature.
