Reviews

We had three fabulous nights at Gilnockie at the end of February to celebrate multiple birthdays. Knowing the weather could not be depended on we chose a destination we wanted to spend the time in, and to this end Gilnockie was perfect. Great family time with two grown up kids and our Border Collie. The views are spectacular, even when misty (looks mysterious) or raining (looks romantic) and the fresh air and log fire make for wonderful lazy days.

Mr L,

The cabin had everything we needed, and when storm Eowyn cut the power, the gas hob really helped. The en suite bedroom downstairs was great for us as the dog is not allowed upstairs. There are numerous walks straight from the door. Excellent cabin, excellent views. We will book again.

Mr S,
