We loved everything, from the house to the scenery, to the warm welcome and to the amazing staff. This place exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed every moment being here, we enjoyed the bonfire, the hiking and just taking in the breath taking views. An awesome getaway. Highly recommended and will definitely visit again.

The lodge was an awesome spot in nature, next to a waterfall and natural pool. Amazing views from the deck watching the animals in the distance. Lovely dama for dishing and great walks. Staff were very friendly and helpful and generous.

“Beautiful Getaway with Friendly Staff”
Tillietudlem is in the most beautiful location, with streams passing right outside the spacious accommodation. There are wide views and it's a great place if you enjoy the outdoors and fishing. It's a real escape from city life, just keep in mind that there is no cell reception and wifi is only available at the main cottage - this is both a positive and a negative depending on the kind of getaway you are planning.
