5/5 Stars Air BNB Reviews - June 2024

All 8 of us really enjoyed our stay in Glen Massan. The lodge was very well equipped and in beautiful surroundings. It's only a short walk to Benmore botanic gardens and the garden is beautiful too. We also enjoyed the hot tub!

The house is spacious, comfortable and everything you could possibly need is provided. The owner was also very helpful in helping us figure out the hot tub. Thank you!

 

A fabulous base for a relaxing holiday
VRBO Home Away Review 5/5 Stayed Aug 2020
Everything about The Ranch was fabulous.

The owner, Dara, was super helpful before and during our stay, offering advice and tips about the local area as well as everything to do with the house.

The location is simply stunning with a small river at the bottom of the garden and a river beach about 2 minutes walk away. There are countless gorgeous walks, waterfalls and beaches in the area.

The Ranch itself is so comfortable and spacious. The beds are comfy, there are 3 bathrooms including a jacuzzi bath in the main bedroom ensuite.

We are a family of 6 and The Ranch suited us perfectly. I'd highly recommend for a stay in the area. We would happily have stayed longer.

5/5 Star Review Stayed 31 August 2020

Fantastic accommodation
5/5 VRBO Home and Away Review Stayed Feb 2020
Eight of us had a fantastic time in the accommodation at the Ranch. The accommodation was excellent and very clean and tidy on our arrival. The hot tub was fantastic. The under floor heating in the property meant that it was very cosy all of the time - good as the weather was wet and windy!!! Fantastic to have three bathrooms at the property too.

The only thing I would have liked would have been a security light at the front of the property as it was very dark entering the property, particularly as there was a small step on the path which we could not see.

Overall an excellent property and would certainly stay again.

 

Amazing Christmas

Snowy weekend

4.8/5 Star Upfront Review Stayed Feb 2018

We had a lovely snowy weekend at the cottage, slightly put of at first by the fact the house was attached however once through the front door this became irrelevant as the rooms all face the rear of the property which looks out to a lovely garden and river with no one over looking. The property was to a high standard and easy to find using the directions given.the hot tub was great and would recommend this property to anyone.
