Great stay away.
Property had all we needed for a weekend break away. Alastairs communication was excellent and he made sure we were kept up to date with check in and check out.
Location was beautiful and close to local shops and beauty spots!
We had two young children with us and they enjoyed the stay as much as the adults!
If returning to the area we would stay at Alastairs again.

Long weekend
Overall very lovely stay. Property was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our weekend. Owner sent a message and called to welcome us and was helpful on the phone. We were also able to check out a bit later than 10am as there was no one following us. This was very helpful given we had my teenagers who tend to enjoy a lie-in! The views are stunning, area clean and the property is near lots of nice walks. Definitely return again and recommend if looking for a relaxing break.

It find it disappointing that this guest has decided to pen and submit this review almost three weeks after what was a very unfortunate and unanticipated turn of events whilst neglecting to mention some very important facts. The facts are: There was a serious mix up with a temporary cleaner that resulted in Ms Milne arriving to a house that had not been prepared or cleaned after the guests who had vacated that day at 11am ("like someone had been using the accommodation"). That is why the beds were unmade, there were towels lying around and the house hadn't been cleaned or tidied. The cleaner did subsequently arrive in the early evening and apologised profusely for not preparing the Lodge in time for their arrival. The cleaner then offered to prepare the Lodge while Ms Milne and her partner went out for dinner but they refused. If they had accepted and stayed I would have paid for their dinner and they could have had a pleasant stay. However, Ms Milne decided that they were not going to stay so she vacated that night and did not actually stay in Lodge at all. I was on holiday at the time which is partially the reason why there was breakdown in the normal changeover procedure and a temporary cleaner was being used. As soon as I heard what had happened I was horrified and apologised profusely and immediately refunded Ms Milne in full. This is the first time this has happened in over ten years of receiving guests to North Lodge and if you read previous reviews here and on the North Lodge air b n b pages you will see that all of our many guests are very happy with the Lodge and the personal care and attention that they receive when staying at North Lodge. Please read other reviews before basing any decision to stay on this review.
Kind Regards

Moldy sleeping rooms, a great health risk :-(
Our stay was compromised very strongly, because we found out after 5-6 days that all sleeping rooms were moldy, which is a great health risk. In the beginning we thought it was just the smell of a house that has not been in use for a longer time. Unfortunately, we were proven wrong. If no improvements are being made to the accomodation, it is a great health risk to anybody to stay there even one night.
Other than that, Scotland is a very beautiful country. Especially Puck's Glenn is beautiful and nearly mystical and a nice, rather short hike even with children.
Visit the Cafe Blairmore with nice offers and try their Afternoon-Tea (which has to be pre-booked). It gives you a good impression of a wonderful Scottish Tea Time with a beautiful sight of the Firth of Clyde. :-)

Thank you for the review. What you have neglected to say is that you asked for a FULL refund after already staying in the property for over a week before suddenly noticing a smell. There have been no other such claims by guests on this platform or others and I have hosted many happy guests. You have provided zero evidence of your claims and I refute them all.

Falsely advertised,damp, no toilet roll, no curtains, cold, no hot tub as advertised, 1 log for fire
Photo of stick man in hot tub & words HOT TUB available for guest use, NO hot tub, 3 bedrooms & only 1 had curtains so woke at 4.30am by sun light. Smells of damp. Pictures on listing of log fire but 1 log, so cant use it to toast marshmallows for daughter or warm room as owner controls heating fully, you have to email if want heating on before 7am, up at 5am due to no curtains. On arriving after driving 5 hrs needed toilet, 1/3 of 1 loo roll for 4 nights stay, ower told me to buy logs as its summer, id just drove again to buy loo roll, we left after 1 night as called owner whom refused to refund 1p, only offered to pay for logs after asked for refund, absolutely ridiculously having to sit and wait to 7am for heating to come on, we had clothing, i need dried for that morning, despite host going into the listing and removing hot tub wording, i had screen shot of the hot tub with his property number on it, so luckily i wasnt able to be gaslighted, owner had me thinking i was going mad, packing swimming costumes for our hot tub holiday. theres no welcome basket, no booklet on how things work in the house and he wouldn't hear any of what we where saying, the customer was wrong, no refund at all. But he ll pay for logs only if u mention refund. bring own loo roll, curtains if staying here & a coat to wear indoors if ur up before 7am as theres no heating to dry wet clothing if youve been caught in rain. Very stressfull having to constantly email host constantly!!!!

Beautiful setting
We had a lovely week in Kilmun. The kitchen and bathrooms are great. The soft furnishings in the living area are very dated but the space is ideal. Beds are clean and comfortable but the cupboards and drawers are cluttered. With a good clean and freshen up this would be an amazing flat.

Wer Ruhe und Erholung sucht, ist hier richtig
Das Haus ist geräumig, vor allem das Wohn- und Esszimmer ist sehr gemütlich. Man kann im Kamin Feuer machen, das war für uns ein Highlight. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, wer kochen kann, hat hier kein Problem, etwas zu zaubern.
Unsere Kinder waren begeistert, dass sie Vögel und Eichhörnchen füttern konnten. Hinter dem Haus gibt es einen Wasserfall und vor dem Haus den Fluss.
Es ist himmlisch ruhig, kaum ein Auto fährt vorbei.
Die Nachbarn waren sehr nett.
Wegen des Warmwasser mussten wir mit Herrn Rees telefonieren, der es uns dann sofort genau erklärt hat. Überhaupt konnten wir uns mit jeder Frage an ihn wenden, er war immer sehr nett am Telefon.
Die Lage war traumhaft, zur nächsten Kleinstadt, in der es alles gibt, was man braucht, sind es ca. 10 min mit dem Auto.
Parkplatz ist auch vorhanden.
Wir waren sehr zufrieden und können die Lodge wärmstens empfehlen.
Der Preis ist auch sehr moderat bei dieser Größe.
Vielen Dank für den wunderschönen Urlaub.

Im glad that you had such a nice time at the Lodge. This Autumn, the house is being renovated with a brand new craft made kitchen with local wood, we are installing a new heating system, taking out the tired electric shower and installing a modern second toilet and completetly redecorating. It would be lovely if yo came back and stayed in the revamped Lodge.

Sale et vètuste
Bonjour, nous ne recommandons absolument pas cette location qui est sale, vètuste, humide, et une odeur horrible. Toiles d'araignées et araignées dans toutes les pièces.
Nous avons constaté plusieurs meubles de la cuisine délabrés et sale, de ce fait nous n'avons pu utiliser la cuisine, ce qui nous a obligé de manger aux restaurants.
Les photos ont un aspect beaucoup plus jeune et moderne par rapport à la réalité.
Nous avons fait 3000kms pour réserver un logements aussi lamentable et inssaluble...
J'aurais honte de louer un logement comme celui-ci, pour toutes ces raisons nous avons quitté le logement un jour plus tôt... Christelle, Alain, et leurs Enfants,

I am sorry that Christelle was so disappointed in the house. I informed Christelle prior to her three night stay that if she was unhappy about anything or wished me to answer any of her queries then she was to call me. We have very small spiders and they leave tiny patches of web. The cleaner should have cleaned these areas but clearly failed to. I will have a word with her. The kitchen is now getting a bit tired and is going to be replaced entirely over the winter. There are various works proposed to the house this winter. Although the kitchen units are getting a bit old I fail to see how this would prevent anyone from using the kitchen to cook. This is a little odd. Anyway, I am sorry that Christelle was unhappy. I only wish that she had contacted me to let me know what she was unhappy about and I would have endeavoured to make good her concerns. For example, the cleaner could have gone in and cleaned any spiders webs that were visible. If Christelle wants to contact me I am willing to provide a partial refund.
Kind Regards
Alastair

Great house in a great area
This house was perfect for us. We were a family of 5, 2 parents and 3 teenage/grown-up children. The house was spacious and every thing worked just fine.
The area is also great. We visited Benmore Botanic Gardens, Pucks Glen and the Aboretum, all three within 2 miles and all 3 definetly worth visiting. Especially Pucks Glen.

Good spot for a family get together
The property suited us well - we were getting together with our 2 adult children and their partners. We loved the front room/diner and all other rooms were fine. Warmed up nicely once we got heating on. Great place from which to explore local countryside. Visited Ben More Botanical Gardens and Pucks Glen - both well worth a visit. Altogether we had a great few days away.

Hello. My name is Alastair Rees and I own North Lodge. Although I live in the East of Scotland, I come from the Kilmun area and have family and many friends there. That is why I purchased North Lodge. It allows me and my family to visit my family in the area. It is a beautiful part of the world that is close to Glasgow and Edinburgh but feels a million miles away. My aim is to ensure that you have a wonderful time when you stay at North Lodge and I am always aiming to improve things wherever possible and encourage guests to let me know how things can be improved. I provide local maps and guides in the Lodge with local knowledge of places to visit and things to do.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
I bought this property principally because of its beautiful location. I grew up in the Kilmun and Rashfield area and know it well. The school I went to is now a well known chainsaw carvers property and is well worth a visit! I still have family and many friends in the area and use the property often for weekend visits with my own family. That way I can ensure that it remains comfortable and is well maintained. I love the area primarily because it is absolutely beautiful at any time of the year. Winter time can be fantastic when there are dry sunny days and you can sit on the terrace in a sun trap and believe it or not, bask in the Scottish winter sun! It is peaceful and has views over the river that are constantly changing due to the tidal nature of the river at this point. There is always something to grab your attention. including seals at high tide, ospreys fishing at the head of the loch and even otters can be seen if you are patient and careful.
この宿泊施設の特徴
The wonderful views from the covered terrace which is a great suntrap are the highlight of this property overlooking the beautiful tidal River Echaig. From the comfort of the benches, you can sip a G & T while watching Herons, geese, ducks, otters, kingfishers, ospreys and even seals (at high tide)! Delightful Red squirrels feed from the nut feeder inches from the kitchen sink and many species of birds can be seen with the highlight being our recent seasonal visitor the osprey often seen fishing at the head of the Loch.
