Kennacraig Lodge was unreservedly the best accommodation we have ever stayed in. The owners provided absolutely everything in their beautiful property to ensure that we had a relaxing fun filled holiday. They provided everything for our 1 yr old granddaughter, our young children and parents and grandfather. Large selection of books, games, snooker table, badminton, volleyball, crab fishing equipment and lots more. Spacious comfortable rooms and beds with tasteful artworks and furniture. We would highly commend the location and quality of this property.

Fabulous stay
We had a marvellous time staying at Kennacraig with our two young girls and grandparents. The weather was amazing, sunshine everyday for 6 days. We were very impressed with everything provided in the Lodge and the views and outdoor space were fantastic. We went to a local wedding and wanted to make a holiday out of the trip, it all worked out perfectly. We contacted the manager once and they responded promptly.

This property was very sweet. Literally in the middle of a sheep pasture. My friends and I enjoyed every second of this experience.
