Our little castle in Scotland

In a nice, quiet area, this awesome-looking little castle was a perfect landing for our long days visiting Scotland. Well furnished, comfortable beds, and good service when required. Everything was well indicated, and everything needed was there. Highlights: beautiful house! Two bathrooms/showers, great living room, well-furnished kitchen. Lowlight: if I had to be really picky, maybe the front door handle should be changed and the fuse box should be better indicated. Overall, one of the best VRBO we did so far! Highly recommended!

A wonderful place to stay

We had a wonderful week at East Lodge. It is so comfortable and welcoming and really well appointed. We did a lot of sightseeing in the area but also appreciated how comfortable East Lodge is on the days when we decided to take things easy and simply relax. Highly recommended. We hope to return soon.

Lodge at Dalvey

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The Lodge is beautifully restored and very well equipped. Lots of very thoughtful extras were provided. This is the home where three generations of my family lived and worked as Gamekeeper on the Estate so it was a very special trip down memory lane for us. Will definitely be back. Thank you to Julie and Caroline for the opportunity.
