Has a great time, a chilled girls family getaway for a special birthday.
It exceeded my expectations. For a farm house surrounded by nature, the house was squeaky clean, beautifully decorated with almost all the amenities required. The hot tub was cherry on top. It’s private and a literal animal sanctuary so whether you decide to just relax there over a weekend, you’d not be bored. Cat was really friendly and wonderful to speak with. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to relax over a weekend surrounded by animals and nature in complete privacy.
Cat & Ella were so lovely from the time we arrived until we left. They were so approachable and friendly. Our 9 year old grandaughter Harper had a constant flow of non stop questions. They were happy to spend time chatting and answering everything they could. What an absolute lovely place from the Chickens to the Horses and the ever so friendly Dalmations. We were even able to feed the lambs. We 100% enjoyed our stay. Lodge was extremely clean and there were books, games & jigsaws so something for everyone. The hot tub is a great addition. Would highly recommend.
We loved it! Our 2 girls fell in love with the beautiful dogs and were really sad to leave them behind. The lodge was just perfect, comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. Lots of games, book etc for kids to play with. We parked up, stayed for 2 nights and didn’t feel the need to leave. We felt at peace here, loved the animals, feeding the lambs, spending time with the dogs and spending time in the hot tub ❤️ Cat & Ellie were wonderful friendly hosts and we enjoyed learning about the animals stories and how they came to live on this lovely farm ❤️
We had such an amazing time at the cottage. It's on a working animal farm, which made the whole experience feel special and different. What really got us was the animals— dogs (lots of them), sheep, horses, peacocks and chickens wandering around. There's loads of space to explore and just chill out, which was perfect for us. The cottage itself was kept well, colourful and has everything we needed. Great place if you have kids or large family. The hut tub was an added plus, especially after long days out. Cat made this place even more special. She's warm and welcoming and made us feel like you're staying with a friend rather than checking into somewhere. Highly recommend and will definitely come back again.
We had the most wonderful stay at Glen Bay Lodge. I booked it while working at a wedding nearby, hoping my family would enjoy a little countryside escape, and it exceeded every expectation. The highlight was bottle-feeding the lambs. Cat generously took the time to let us do this on both days, creating memories my children will never forget. You can see how much love and care she puts into both her animals and her guests. The Dalmatians were an absolute joy and quickly became firm favourites with the whole family. What made this stay so special was watching my children swap screens for fields, animals, fresh air and adventure. They were able to simply be children again. The lodge was comfortable, peaceful and perfectly positioned to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We left feeling refreshed, reconnected and already planning a return visit.
What a wonderful stay at Glen Roe Lodge with 5 of my friends for a belated birthday weekend, an animal lover’s dream! The cabin was stunning, perfectly sized and decorated beautifully, so clean too! Cat was such a friendly host ❤️ she takes great care of the animals and guests are able to access the animals whenever which was amazing! We will definitely be back 🫶🫶
Absolutely stunning place the views are incredible. Cat was a lovely host, very warm, friendly & helpful. It’s lovely to walk around and meet the animals and the dogs are cuties. Only downside - couldn’t have the doors open due to doggos coming in and it was extremely warm when we were there and sometimes eating outside was hard work as they obvs could smell it and wanted it ! Other than that the stay was lovely and would visit again
Fantastic location very peaceful owner was very accommodating, lodge was very clean warm and cosy, hot was also clean and ready to be use, any issues owner was more than happy to help lucky we didnt have any. Also at the end of our stay we were offered the chance to bottle feed the lambs which was a nice way to end the trip
Our family of three had a great time at the farm, and it was the perfect way to cap off our trip to Scotland! We had some issues with our rental car that prevented us from getting groceries on our way in, but Cat went above and beyond to provide us with enough farm-fresh provisions to get by until we could get food. The animals at the farm were incredibly friendly, and we particularly loved feeding the baby lambs. Cat shared so much of her knowledge and love for the animals that my six year old now insists she wants to be just like Farmer Cat when she grows up. Thanks for an incredible and unique experience!
What a wonderful stay we had. My partner and our 2 kids (4 &2) went to stay for the weekend in may. We were looking forward to a little getaway with some animal watching and what a treat it was to be right in the thick of it. We were greeted by a pack of 6 dogs. The happiest, friendliest dogs we’ve ever encountered! We took a shine to them right away and they were so good with the kids. And Cat herself too. What a woman! She had just helped birth lambs upon our arrival and still had the grace and patience to welcome us warmly. She made us feel right at home and you could tell a lot about her character by the way all the animals on the farm were. They were all extremely sociable, happy beings and her relationship with every single of them was lovely to see. The little lodge was so cozy. The beds were comfy, the views were spectacular and the hot tub was a really great bonus. We didn’t want to leave after the two days but will definitely revisit. Thanks for a great weekend!
Had the most amazing stay at the farm, loved meeting all the animals. Cat was so friendly and helpful, and showed us around the farm. We also done the feeding/cuddling the lambs experience which was a highlight for everyone! We loved getting to play with the Dalmatian’s every day (shout out to Cheeky chaps). The cabin was exactly as pictured, clean and comfortable. The hot tub was perfectly clean and was perfect for relaxing in the evening. We used the bbq during the day which was also great! The location is easy to find and Cat was super helpful in answering all our questions. Would definitely recommend and we are already talking about returning!!
The lodge was fantastic, all the amenities myself and the gang needed. What was a gruelling working week was made better for having Cat's place to retreat to. From a well equipped kitchen and comfy beds to hot showers and plenty of space, it was everything we needed to get the job done. My only regret is that we didn't get to spend more time there. Will certainly be returning to visit for pleasure in the future!
Firstly I want to thank cat for creating such a lovely environment for all the animals, the care and love she has for them is so heart warming. We were welcomed in the most fantastic way with all the dogs and a warm welcome from cat herself, she given us loads of helpful information on arrival and wished us a great stay. When we stepped in the lodge WOW the decor, the cleanliness the atmosphere.. just totally amazing and more we could have asked for. The hot tub was sooo warm and cosey at night to relax in and watch the stars above with the sounds of the river just behind us! We also took a tour around the farm with cat and we got to feed all the cute animals and learn about each animal and their backgrounds. I can’t fault the place one single bit, it was absolutely fantastic from arrival to departure although we would have loved to stay longer 🤣! We are already planning our next trip with the kids! Thank you so so much cat Im so happy to have spent my 30th birthday here! See you soon!

Lovely lodge in peaceful surroundings, perfect for a serene getaway. Cat and her sister are fantastic friendly hosts, always available without being intrusive. Lodge was clean and well equipped. Also it was nice and warm inside in the freezing Scottish winter weather. Local villages with shops just a 10 minute drive away. Daughter loved the animals, will definitely recommend to friends and hope to return.
Wanted a relaxing weekend away and Cat's place was phenomenal! Close enough if you wanted to go out for a meal in the local area but also isolated enough that it was so peaceful and relaxing! Cat's even let us say hi to all the animals on the farm and was extremely friendly. I'd absolutely recommend this place to anyone. Thanks for having us!
We had a fabulous stay at Cats property! If weather had allowed we would have made more use of the hot tub but that’s Scottish weather for you! Comfortable and clean and nice and private! Couldn’t have asked for better! Would revisit for sure!
Such an amazing place to stay. Cat is a fantastic host.
We had a vow-renewal celebration to go to and Cat’s place was situated close by. We stayed for 3 nights and loved it ! I’m a big animal lover and loved the fact that Cat rescues animals and looks after and provides them their forever home ! We could wander around at our leisure and encounter the Highland cows, goats, horses, sheep, chickens not forgetting her dogs and cat who were all friendly and loved the attention ! Cat (with her dogs) welcomed us when we arrived and was extremely friendly and accommodating. I had messaged her earlier to ask if we could come earlier than the arrival time stated and she was fine with it. The lodge was comfortable and clean and had everything we required for our stay (except towels but we knew that beforehand) We thoroughly enjoyed our experience there and would highly recommend especially to all animal lovers ! Thank you Cat xx
