Woodcock Lodge - Luxurious log cabin in Argyll

Nestled near Lochgilphead, Woodcock Lodge is a luxurious, Scandi-style retreat designed to offer couples complete privacy and comfort amid one of Scotland’s most peaceful and unspoilt glens. Although its sister lodge, Wildcat, sits 100 yards away, Woodcock remains entirely secluded.
Guests can enjoy an atmospheric barbecue in the year-round BBQ hut or unwind in the private hot tub beneath a canopy of stars, with the patio softly lit by fairy lights. Inside, the lodge combines rustic warmth with modern comforts: a cosy log burner, a wide-screen smart TV with Netflix, and large windows that frame the surrounding wilderness. The fully equipped kitchen makes self-catering effortless, while the inviting bedroom—dressed with luxurious linens and robes—promises restful, indulgent sleep.
Woodcock Lodge is proudly dog-friendly, welcoming pets and offering plenty of space to explore and exercise. Designed primarily for couples seeking tranquility and comfort, it also happily accommodates babes in arms.
