Absolutely perfect
My friend and I arrived a little early, but to a welcoming and smiling Lorna. The property was immaculate, very comfortable both sitting area and beds. We didn't want for anything - the breakfast hamper was a welcome boon, the hot tub lovely and warm, and facilities in the lodge brilliant. The toiletries smelt delicious too. I'll definitely be back - when up that way again - would thoroughly recommend to anyone wanting somewhere wonderful to relax. Thanks for the hospitality Lorna.

Dog friendly, great views
We enjoyed our stay here. Wee one enjoyed the cabin and our dog enjoyed herself too. Safe and gated so the furry one can roam free. Jacuzzi and bbq was great. Well prepared for the furry one, bowls, towel, treats and bags so, we didnt need to bring anything but food.

Beautiful little lodge and exceptionally clean
We spent 3 nights at this beautiful little lodge with our 3 girls and our dog. The lodge is absolutely beautiful and the hot tub is an added bonus. Lorna welcomed us on arrival and had even left us a welcome hamper, which saved us doing a shop on our first night, after a long journey. We would definitely recommend it. The lodge is so clean and modern, it’s an absolute credit to Lorna. Thank you for having us, hopefully we will be back again soon. From The Mallards

About the host

Hosted by Lorna Hutchison

Host profile image
I am from the Orkney Islands and moved to the mainland 22 years ago. Having been brought up on a farm I love the outdoors and all animals. I'm a keen gardener and keep active walking my two dogs. I love to meet up with family and close friends especially at some of my favourite restaurants close by.
From designing Rowanlea Lodge to the finished build has been a great adventure. I have thoroughly enjoyed doing the interior design and would love to build again in the future.

Why they chose this property

Although in a rural location the cabin is close to many small villages, towns, beaches and beautiful countryside. If you need to get away from it all this is the perfect location.

What makes this property unique

You will love my place. The Scottish Douglas Fir trees that have each been carved by hand and used to provide the solid structure of Rowanlea Lodge to the tasteful decor and luxurious furnishings. After a day exploring you can relax outside at the front of the cabin until the sun goes down and take in the spectacular view. If it's a little cold the wood burner will give you that cozy feel and the view is just as lovely through the double patio doors.
I always greet guests on arrival and I'm available to answer any questions about the surrounding area and places of interest to visit. A welcome breakfast hamper sourced from our local farm shop is provided to get your holiday off to a great start, all linen, towels and luxury soaps, free WI-FI, logs and kindling are provided. Our cabin is well equipped for guests so they can settle in and make the most of their holiday.
We look forward to your visit.
