We loved our stay at Brander Lodge, especially the delicious dinner and the beautiful view of local wildlife right outside our room. The team's exceptional hospitality made our trip truly special.

great access to nature trails and local attractions

I found the staff here to be wonderfully friendly, and the hotel was very clean, making my stay comfortable and enjoyable. The nearby Glen Nant National Nature Reserve offers stunning walking trails for anyone who loves exploring the great outdoors.

Scenic outdoor access, Chalet accommodations with kitchen, Dog-friendly policies

Cleaning standards need to improve, as hairs were found in beds!!! Delays in dinner service made meals frustrating!!! It would be better if rooms matched their descriptions more accurately!!!

I loved the delicious, creative dinner—especially the venison, and the cozy bar area was perfect for relaxing. The peaceful garden walk was an unexpected bonus! I would definitely choose this place again.

The food was delicious, but our room had an issue with spiders.

would love to come back

i recently stayed at the hotel again and was really impressed by the lovely meals offered. the food, especially the local dishes prepared by the chef, truly exceeded my expectations. the staff were friendly and attentive, making our weekend getaway feel special.

wifi connection was spotty at times.

The warm lounge with inviting decor felt like a cozy hug, making me feel right at home, perfect for relaxing afternoons with friends or family. Accessibility was handled well, ensuring everyone could enjoy the lovely surroundings.

More seating in dining areas would be nice.

Had a fantastic time with my friends! We explored two local distilleries and enjoyed the friendly, attentive staff. The food was top-notch and the atmosphere made it even better. Rooms were spacious and fit our needs perfectly, especially with our pooch. Highly recommend this place for a fun getaway!

We had some issues with patio doors in our room that wouldn't lock, which made us a bit uneasy at night.

The surrounding views were stunning, and the direct access to the garden from the room was a delightful touch. Staff were exceptionally friendly and made us feel welcomed at all times. Although the hotel was generally quiet, there were occasional noises from other guests that were a bit disruptive. Dining options were fantastic, with fresh and tasty food, including traditional Irish pancakes that we thoroughly enjoyed. All in all, a charming retreat with some minor disturbances.

A Delightful Retreat for Scenic Explorations

We enjoyed a fantastic stay, with the river area providing a serene escape. The staff were extraordinarily welcoming, making us feel at home. Don't miss the outside seating after a day of hiking—perfect for unwinding with a local whiskey.

Do recommend for a weekend escape

Comfortable room, welcoming staff, with a lovely breakfast that offered a variety of selections, including hot and delicious options to start your day, making it a great place to relax after exploring nearby attractions.

Nothing to fault.

Lovely, relaxing stay

My Dad and I had a fantastic night here! We were welcomed by the friendly owner and enjoyed relaxing on the balcony with scenic views and the sounds of nature. The room was immaculate and comfy, and the food was delicious, making our stay feel special. I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a peaceful retreat away from the busy areas.

The room was super comfy with a nice clean bathroom. We had these amazing French doors that opened to a lovely patio, really enjoyed waking up to that view. The space was great and made the stay feel more relaxed. Only thing was that there wasn't any cleaning on the second day, which was a bummer. But overall, it was a pleasant experience!

great spot for nature lovers and peaceful walks

I recently enjoyed a wonderful birthday celebration and the staff went above and beyond to make everything perfect, with a lovely lounge area by a roaring log fire that added to the cozy atmosphere during my stay. plus, just a short stroll away, you can explore the scenic beauty of Glen Nant National Nature Reserve and the historic Bonawe Iron Furnace, making it an ideal base for leisurely walks and landmark discoveries.
