Very warm, comfortable and clean accommodation, welcome pack, well kept lodge park and very friendly and helpful neighbour (on site caretaker, in effect). Attractive location and the town, plus other nearby towns, has plenty of amenities. Dollar and Alva Glens are spectacular and shouldn't be missed, and for walkers the Ochils are on the doorstep.

Excellent accommodation very clean and tidy. Sue next door was also very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay in this very quiet location. One thing to note is we found the shower way too hot with no obvious way of cooling it without changing the boiler settings which obviously we would not try and do !!! The hot temperature is in our opinion dangerous. Other than that an excellent experience and thank you for the welcome pack 😊
