COVID 19
Here at Ardoch Lodge we want to reassure our guests that even though we are known for our high cleaning standards, we are going that extra mile to deep clean and sanitise the cabins and cottage after every visit. It is important to us that everyone feels safe and confident spending time with us. We want to emphasise that we are a perfect secluded location to escape to and enjoy nature at its best.

If we are forced to close due to Covid restrictions enforced by the Scottish Government we would ask guests to reschedule their stay, if this is not possible we will be happy to issue a full refund.
