The host/hostess extremely friendly. The evening meals superb and took extra note of my diet requirements. My room was fine but no chair or place to hang damp towel to dry out. The room was in an annexe and I had to go outside to access all amenities - lounge, dining room, guests’ kitchen. No kettle in the room so this kitchen was essential for out of hours cuppa. Very minor complaints all forgiven due to service and meals.

Thank you.
I will try in future to let guests know when they have been allocated rooms in the annex so they know what to expect in advance.
We choose not to provide extra hospitality trays in the rooms as this would inevitably increase the cost to our guests due to the extra work required. Instead we do offer a whole kitchen full of appliances and free tea, coffee etc there.

Nice proprietors, so-so accommodations
Posted 20 Jul 2019 on HotelsProbably other rooms that this YOUTH HOSTEL (not hotel, not lodge) offers were better than ours. We definitely did not overpay, and got what we paid for.
Very nice proprietors as I mentioned and great location, but keep in mind that even some box wine has a really nice label.

This INDEPENDENT HOSTEL has no desire to be a hotel or a lodge. We are very happy to be a friendly, family run hostel. We enjoy spending time with our guests and offering facilities such as a fully equipped kitchen as well as a comfortable lounge with games and books to borrow.
We do offer the cheapest private rooms currently available in the area. They are basic but we concentrate on offering comfortable beds for a good night's sleep, a quiet atmosphere and good quality hot showers.

Fraoch Lodge
Posted 20 Apr 2019 on HotelsRebecca and Andy were very friendly and accommodating.
I was able to get a good early breakfast before leaving for work.
The room was clean and had plenty of cupboard space.
With the weather being so good, there was no need to use the drying room.
The area was a great place to go for an evening walk, with the Boat Inn offering good food.

Nice friendly place
Posted 17 Apr 2019 on HotelsThe host was very accommodating and friendly. We got a room on the upper floor. The place was clean and the beds were comfortable but the room was cold, the heater doesn't warm up the room that well and the shower area was really small. The dining area was warm and cozy with a good nice view of the outside especially when it snowed.

It's a shame you didn't mention that you found the room cold at the time when we could have turned up the heating. At this point we can't change that.

Very nice accommodation with opportunity to be self catering as well, with shared kitchen. Very close to all the walking we wanted to do, with a nice wee basic local shop as well, very close by.
Would love to stay during the Winter months and experience the lovely stove burning away in the living/dining area.
The only thing I was disappointed about was the unavailability of a cooked breakfast.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know that you enjoyed your stay at Fraoch Lodge. If you do return in the winter we will be sure to light the fire and don't worry we will definitely have cooked breakfasts available then.
In future if we are away ourselves we will try to make sure that our cover staff are able to provide cooked breakfast options where necessary.

All the rooms have mirrors in the room area. Those with en suite bathrooms also have mirrors in the bathroom too. You must have missed the mirror in your room, or else it has disappeared over the season. However, as I don't know which room you were in, I will check them all over the next couple of weeks. Unfortunately I also have no ides which mattresses you were commenting on but don't worry we have plans to replace the remaining mattresses, which we didn't do last year.
Thank you for your comments.

A lovely B&B, the staff were really friendly and the facilities were great, particularly the kitchen area for guests to use.
Great location with lots of local walks and places to visit.
