"A really great base for exploring this beautiful part of Scotland, and lots to keep the family occupied, from canoes and bikes, to games and DVD's. Lodge very clean, well maintained and equipped, and with plenty of its own space. The loch and mountain views, the peace and restfulness of the place, even the purity of the tap water, all make you want to stay. Review posted 13th August."

"My daughter rented two cottages at Portnellan for the celebration of her 21st birthday. We had no idea what to expect before we arrived, and we had travelled from the United States to attend her birthday. The magic of Portnellan added to the magic of seeing my daughter turn 21. What a beautiful location, and the cottages were lovely vacation homes with everything we could need."

"Everyone had a terrific time, the young ones and us old-timers! Thank you to the gracious staff (namely Cameron's family.) You made us feel welcome and made her celebration a delight!"

"I highly recommend these cottages for anyone who loves a magical place to sleep and roam in one of the most magical places I've ever been! Review posted 14th August."

"Outstanding as usual. A warm welcome from Cameron and family. Spotlessly clean lodge , stunning scenery and great touring base. Would recommend this to anyone looking for luxury self catering in Scotland. Review posted 12th August"

Great location, beautiful views
The property is beautifully tranquil with outstanding views and is a great base for exploring the Highlands. It took us a little over an hour to get to the property from Glasgow airport. We were able to easily do day trips to Stirling, Oban and Fort William from Portnellan Estates. Crianlarich is well labelled and easy to find based on road signs. The property has some gorgeous hiking trails that can be accessed easily from the cottages. We stayed in the comfortable Ptarmigan cottage (2 bedroom) for 3 nights and were in awe of the beautiful views from the front window. We travelled with our 2 boys (age 9 & 11) and we all LOVED the location, trails, seeing the chickens/ducks, playing ping pong in the gamesroom and use of DVD library. Owners and staff were very friendly and offered to help us if we needed anything at all. We supplied our own shampoo, conditioner and bathroom soap which would have been a nice thing for the property to supply, although I’m sure they would accommodate, if requested. The kitchen was fully equipped. The hot water situation is quirky (according to North American standards) but you just have to push a button in the kitchen to “boost” the hot water and all is well for hot showers for everyone in the family. Overall, We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautifully tranquil property.

Wonderful lodge, great host
This is a wonderful place and a wonderful lodge. Manager/Owner Cameron was very welcoming and supportive. The lodge is very well maintained and equipped. Many lovely details, including a busy bird feeder on the porch. Free kajaks. We will be back. But: You need a car for this location. We were travelling by train. The place is approx 4 km from Crianlarich station and from the local Londis store, and shopping etc was difficult.

Genieten!
Voor ons gezin was dit een prima locatie om een heerlijke week door te brengen. Cameron van Portnellan was erg behulpzaam en vriendelijk. Prachtige watervallen in de buurt en heerlijke wandelingen kunnen maken.
