About Otter Lodge

Welcome to our self catering two-bedroom lodge nestled at the foot of Ben More, offering captivating views of the surrounding glen and mountains. This charming retreat accommodates up to four guests and provides a welcoming atmosphere for a tranquil getaway.

As you step into Otter, you're greeted by a spacious living area adorned with modern décor and warm tones, seamlessly connecting to the dining space and fully-equipped kitchen. The open-plan layout encourages socialising and relaxation after a day of exploration round the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park.

The lodge's bedrooms are designed to ensure a peaceful night's rest. The master bedroom features a comfortable king-sized bed whilst the second bedroom offers twin beds. Both share a bathroom with full size bath with overhead power shower, perfect for families or friends traveling together.

The private balcony area with garden furniture, is ideal for al fresco dining or simply soaking in the Highland scenery whilst the birds feed on the feeders and red squirrels scramble through the forest trees.

Situated in a stunning natural setting, this lodge serves as an ideal base for exploring nearby hiking trails and attractions or simply unwinding in the serene surroundings.

Review posted 13th August; A really great base for exploring this beautiful part of Scotland, and lots to keep the family occupied, from canoes and bikes, to games and DVD's. Lodge very clean, well maintained and equipped, and with plenty of its own space. The loch and mountain views, the peace and restfulness of the place, even the purity of the tap water, all make you want to stay.

My daughter rented two cottages at Portnellan for the celebration of her 21st birthday. We had no idea what to expect before we arrived, and we had travelled from the United States to attend her birthday. The magic of Portnellan added to the magic of seeing my daughter turn 21. What a beautiful location, and the cottages were lovely vacation homes with everything we could need.

Everyone had a terrific time, the young ones and us old-timers! Thank you to the gracious staff (namely Cameron's family.) You made us feel welcome and made her celebration a delight!

Review posted 14th August; I highly recommend these cottages for anyone who loves a magical place to sleep and roam in one of the most magical places I've ever been!

Review posted 12th August; Outstanding as usual. A warm welcome from Cameron and family. Spotlessly clean lodge , stunning scenery and great touring base. Would recommend this to anyone looking for luxury self catering in Scotland.
