Squirrel Lodge

Great stay, fab location with a Ben Nevis view. Very clean and comfortable. Positive: Great location, very clean, good communication

There was a a storm happening during my staying period, which caused an outage to many places. However all the business Positive: The place setup is nice Negative: There was a a storm happening during my staying period, which caused an outage to many places. However all the business properties like hotels, lodges, stores, restaurants, etc were all still operating through generators to ensure business continuity to its customers. However, the squirrel lodge got nothing and I was out of power and hot water for 3 out of 4 days of stay, which makes all the services of their staying facility being useless. And when I called them and texted them about it they refused to take accountability saying that this outage impacted the entire area when in its like I said they are not a residential area to compare with people homes and they need to ensure a backup plan in place just like all the nearby businesses next to them (all the B&B and hotels that are 5-10 minutes near them were having electricity on generators as well). Thanks to them my trip to the highlands was not pleasant at all. Imagine staying in complete darkness for 3 nights and its very cold and you can’t shower, you can’t see anything without turning a flash light of your phone. And no one cares! Like even if I didn’t call or text they wouldn’t even bother to check on their guests. Not recommended at all.

Excellent well appointed cabin with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Positive: This was a great location for exploring the Highlands. It had the best views for seeing Ben Nevis without cloud right from the deck while enjoying your morning coffee. Being rural meant it was very quiet, dark and relaxing. The cabin was very well appointed with everything I needed - felt like a true home away from home. Negative: The shower was not great. The pressure was very low and didn’t maintain a constant temperature.

Nice looking but wouldn’t return for the stated reasons Positive: Nice looking place. Animals live in the insulation, wife thought we were getting broken into. For obvious reasons sleep was seriously effected Negative: Shower is not great. Expected to clean and empty bins. Odd smell, not a dirty smell, just a smell. Animals living in the insulation that move around at night sounding like a person attempting to enter the room.

Positive: Perfect little place for a couple with all amenities provided Negative: Everything was good
