Cameron came to welcome us to the property. He had kindly collected our online shopping and put it in the fridge for us. The lodge was beautiful and well-equipped. It even had a washing machine and a tumble dryer. The location was serene and simply amazing! Cameron was very helpful and had put lots of useful information in the lodge about the local area. We are already planning our next trip.
Some very negligible points that had no impact on us enjoying the trip
- The Internet was very poor. We didn't mind as we enjoyed the nature and tranquility instead
- The lights in the living area were quite dim and yellow.

Beautiful place at the foot of Ben More. A steep walk, great but dont do it the first day. We've visited for a week, lots to see and illusterous walks nearby.
Everything was great! No disapointments.

We loved the Mountain View from our lodge, we loved how much there was to walk around and look at on the site. We liked the little visitor centre and the nostalgia of picking DVD’s (as my 7 year old son didn’t have a clue what a DVD was). The games room was fun aswell. We had a perfect few days in the Osprey Lodge and will definitely come back to stay again.
There was nothing I can complain about our stay at the Osprey Lodge.

The lodge was clean, fully equipped for comfort living, water pressure was nice and mattress was comfortable as well. The view, wow, stunning and quiet, peaceful. Have spotted red squirrel while having a nice walk in the facility.

Comfortable beds. The authentic Indian take-away is highly recommended. Pick up in the village.
Long way round mountain to get to the last chalet. Not a particular good view from this 1bed chalet, electricity pole and white caravan up the mountain, of which I was jealous because it must have had stunning views. Chalet felt tired and ready for an update . No sun on patio around dinner time as advertised. Entrance into Portnellan looks like roadworks storage area, not very welcoming. Our stay was to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary which was notified when asked if there was a special occasion. No acknowledgment of it. Information on website seems to be outdated. No information received via email nor in the chalet with regards to hot water system which meant no hot water in the morning. Need to set timer to reheat water. Had great expectations after reading reviews. The 2 bed chalets were updated and large houses up the mountain looked lovely and had wonderful views.

Will definitely visit again!

Had a brilliant stay at the Pinemarten chalet, it had all the facilities we needed, clean, spacious and very comfortable. The views from the chalet are amazing!!

Very serviceable kitchen and comfortable living area. Central location for touring the West Highlands. Lucy and Cameron were delightful hosts and very helpful and knowledgeable about the area.
The view wasn’t particularly great from our unit compared to the others on the property but still quite nice and pleasant.

Location, view, warmth, wildlife and quietness
Hum from electrical cupboard in main bedroom disturbed sleep making bedroom useless for a good night’s sleep. Had to decamp to the sofa in living room.
Lots of promotional bumf obscured essential information about how to get hot water and Wi-Fi.
Was no personal contact with host whatsoever. Just prompt and helpful responses to questions about Wi-Fi and how to get hot water.
A Covid hangover seemed to be there to suit the hosts. We complied with the requirement to put all our bed linen and towels in a bag before vacating the property.

Superb location, very quiet on a beautiful estate. The lodges are private and not overlooked. Beautifully furnished, cosy & comfortable.

Hosts, accommodation, facilities, local activities, very comfortable.
Personally I think Booking.com should update their website to be inline with all the Portnellan challets.

in the original chalet there was no sky and poor wifi but Cameron and Lucy more than compensated by moving us into a luxury cabin, Happiness.

Lovely view. Very quiet and peaceful. Good location and a beautiful part of Scotland. Comfy beds and friendly, helpful management.
Some of the chalet had been modernised but not all of it and it felt like it was a bit mismatched - lovely modern new bathrooms but old fashioned living room furniture. All lovely and functional but maybe could do with updating all bits to the same standard.

Location was good, however not a very scenic view from our lodge.
No real scenic view of the surrounding area. Lodge structure was badly tilted, thought we where on a boat.

My father liked the comfortable bed.
I booked one property on this site as it was listed as wheelchair accessible.
My father and his carers had to be moved to another property within the estate due to lack of wheelchair accessibility. What wasn't mentioned at the time of moving to the other property was the cost, we were led to believe the owners were doing this as a kindness, not so much and a FURTHER £1200 was asked for OVER and ABOVE the (almost) £900 paid for initial booking.
Not cool. Not good business. My father has been left feeling completely ripped off. This was for a six day stay!
On a lighter and more positive note, my father was over the moon with the view from his bedroom, his very comfortable bed and thought Lucy was rather lovely and very kind.

The location was fantastic and the Idea behind all the cabins fantastic.
The only think we had a bit of problem with was the internet. we had it but it kept dropping out. Had a friend that need to send emails for work etc but found it difficult.

beautiful. clean. tidy. breathtaking views. modern. felt like home. cosy interiors. fully functional kitchen. amazing / large balcony.
most people don’t care about this, but I hate looking at my phone when on holidays. all the instructions were online as opposed to a traditional booklet or printed instructions. no human interaction either! we were stuck in the rain to get instructions for the game room code… (didn’t use it after all as wasn’t available in time) so if anyone interested, make sure you look through every single instruction as likely the staff support will be minimal as the model is “self catering” (again, this is the way the whole holiday / hotel business is heading to as an industry, just that I personally don’t like it)
10.0 / 10.0
Everything ! Such a glorious location, breathtaking views, and the chalet facilities were first class. I simply loved my stay there, I hardly ventured out of the property grounds. Cameron was a lovely host and really friendly.
Perfect in every way.
