Guestbook for Portnellan
We are just back from the most amazing lodge ever! There were 8 in our party and we stayed in the Ghillies Lodge. It was 5 star and certainly earned every one of them! Myself and my husband wanted to spend new year with our kids and their partners and 2 of our friends and we couldnt have done it in a better place. We completely chilled out, got to spend quality time together in the most perfect surroundings. We didnt actually leave the lodge from the Friday to the Monday but thats exactly what we were looking for. The views were stunning and the lodge itself was massive so we all had our own space if we wanted it. It was one of these times when you walk into a place and say 'wow'! It was stunning. I read reviews before booking and they were all pretty much positive apart from people complaining about electricity and cleaning but trust me, when you see how Cameron looks after the place you wouldn't want to leave it any other way than the way it was when you arrived. Thats how it should be anyway, why should other people clean your mess! Some people are just lazy and like to have something to moan about. On the morning we were leaving it snowed, the scenery was breathtaking but we did worry about the road down from the lodge as it was at top of hill. Before we knew it tho, Cameron was out clearing all the roads from all the lodges. Cant ask for more than that can you! Highly recommended and cant wait to go again. The Dickson Family, West Lothian
"Thank you for your kindness to us. Beautiful place, wonderful location". Best Regards Maria and Thomas
"Cameron. We think you should pay a visit to all the holiday cottage owners from Dumfries to Westerross and show them how to run a holiday business."
"We've enjoyed a perfect stay in a beautiful glen. The memories of feeling at home in a lovely place are fine treasures to keep. Thank you for your hospitality and kind assistance." Maryke, Tom, Mieke and Mart
Our third visit and as always a lovely holiday. Excellent lodge and even rain did not spoil things. Thanks Cameron. See you again. (our family have visited here and stayed at the lodges eight times so must be good) Alan and Muriel Davis Perth Western Australia
This was one of the most eventful holidays we had. So much to see, so much to do...Thank you Cameron for your good advices and for the perfect lodge. We will surely recommend you to all our friends. Family v. Beers, Tilburg, Holland
Another wonderful time here in Portnellan. Weather beautiful and Pinemarten is the best lodge we've stayed in yet. The views were wonderful. Roll on our 6th visit. Paula, Dave, Simon and Katie. Durham.
Portnellan. Another word for "Perfection"
