Fabulous stay

We had a marvellous time staying at Kennacraig with our two young girls and grandparents. The weather was amazing, sunshine everyday for 6 days. We were very impressed with everything provided in the Lodge and the views and outdoor space were fantastic. We went to a local wedding and wanted to make a holiday out of the trip, it all worked out perfectly. We contacted the manager once and they responded promptly.
