Pine Marten Reviews

Michael
Fantastic lodge with a peaceful outlook and top rate facilities. We loved the hot tub, the kitchen wanted for nothing, and the accommodation was lovely and warm throughout. In nearby Dornoch, we especially loved Greens for meals, and of course the golf in the area is magnificent.
Stephen
Nice place to stay, great location.
We had a great stay and would certainly return. Very clean and comfortable. Its a credit to the owners
Lovely place to get away too, if your into your beach walks and good food it is a great area to be in. If your into your whisky it is prefect. Dornoch is the place to be in the Malt Whisky industry on the mainland.
William
Pine Marten is a gorgeous lodge in a stunning location Fabulous view with full sun all day long Really high standard of accommodation with brilliant attention to detail re appliances and layout Rooms with deck outlook very spacious Had to spread out showers to manage the hot water but no biggie! Fabby wee welcome pack was a great touch We loved our stay and hope to return soon
Nicole
We had a lovely time in Pine Martin Lodge, the space was great for 5 adults and 2 dogs. Outdoor space was great for dogs that can be off lead and lovely patio area to relax if you get the weather. There is a small enclosed stoned area at the rear of the house but the majority of the outdoor space is not enclosed. The Lodge was spotless, not one thing out of place. Some of the group found the beds very comfortable but others didn't which I guess is a personal preference. Very quiet and secluded which was brilliant. Great location to visit different parts of the Highlands.
Wonderful house in a lovely area. Loved our stay.
Jennifer
We were so impressed with the quality and comfort that Pine Martin had to offer. We loved the location and the property had absolutely everything that we needed. June, the owner who I met by chance was really nice and she supplied extra toysbooks that she thought our kids might like.
Katheryn
A beautiful cottage in a stunning location. Very comfortable and well equipped for our stay. We really appreciated the welcome treat basket, and the gorgeous Christmas decorations were a lovely surprise. Hot tub was fabulous! Owners provided useful communications and information. The only slight negative is that the towel provision was limited to one relatively small towel per person, so I recommend you bring extra towels especially if you want to use the hot tub which you definitely should!. Thank you for a wonderful and peaceful NYE family break.
Frances
We had a great week stay at Christmas . The lodge was decorated for us and had a huge lit tree outside . The lodge was cosy and clean . The beds were comfortable . The kitchen had everything we needed . We used the bbq and chiminea on the patio It is set in a lovely peaceful location but not too far from Dornoch . The hot tub was very nice especially after our sea swims ! We would definitely recommend Pine Marten Lodge
Jessica
Thank you for the welcome gifts. Your property is one of the best we have stayed in. It really showed that you have thought of everything from a coffee machine to a hot tub, all these details added to our stay. We hope to return soon.
The accommodation was amazing, clean warm and comfortable. Only gripe was that it was listed as had an open fire but only had a fire affect fire in the lounge, needs clarification! A few recommendations would be hooks for dressing gowns towels by or close to hot tub, and a flat mob or a dustpan n brush other wise no complaints, beds large and comfortable. Location marvelous! Highlights were deer passing and star gazing in the hot tub. Definitely will re book
An amazing beautiful relaxed place. From the stag in the forest to the stars in the hot tub, a truly tranquil place. Well equipped, comfortable and wouldn't hesitate book again.
We had a great long weekend at Pine Marten. We loved the property, excellent facilities, hot tub was great. Fab location. Our only feedback would be that seating is tight for 6 adults on the 2 sofas. We ended up bringing in the cushions from the outdoor seats for some os us to sit on in the evening
Tracey
A very tranquil location. The accommodation is well equipped and beautifully presented and maintained. I would definitely stay again and explore more of the locality. Owners are very considerate and nothing is too much trouble.
It was one of the best cottages we had on our scottland tour.
For tranquillity in abundance this lodge was perfect, we have two small dogs, one of whom is now blind and deaf, he loved the fact he could come and go from the large paved area accessed from the lounge. The lodge was spotlessly clean, warm, felt cozy, modern but with traditional elements cleverly mixed in. Was also the perfect spot to visit lovely Dornoch and explore the east side of NC500.
Heather
An excellent, well equipped lodge in a beautiful, peaceful setting. Perfect if you want to get away from it all, explore the beautiful coastline arround Dornoch, play fabulous golf courses or just relax in the hot tub we did all of the above !
Rebecca
We loved the lodge, had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The area was so peaceful and the hot tub was fantastic, we would love to stay again.
Peaceful location. Fantastic lodge. Amazing hot tub. Highly recommend.
Thomas
Excellent challet, pure bliss, fixtures and fittings were immaculate and great hosts will definitely be coming back. thank you for a great weekend.
