The Guest book at Whistlefield Lodges
Please enjoy these thoughts from our previous holiday takers... 2008 Great stay, good base to explore the area from! Food at whistlefield Inn great, very friendly people made us very welcome. Could never get fed up of this type of countryside and fantastic views. Obviously quite a romantic place too - he proposed and I said yes!! Lara and Michael Cranfield, Beds
Had a lovely relaxed holiday the whistlefield Inn is good! The Cabin was very comfortable, the weather has been pretty grim, not just rain but a monsoon! But would never get fed up of the view, it's outstanding!! Thanx 4 the mince pies & shortbread! Deliciouse! Hope to see you again soon! Maybe in the summer 08! Happy new Year! All the best for 2008! Don and Sue Preston, Lancs
Me and Glen came here for a wee break away from the hussle & bustle of our busy lives, and wow what an awesome time, we have had!! Tip go to Pucks Glen, awsome scenery it will blow you away, keep heating on when you go out...great when you get back in. Go to Quadmania and clay pidgeon shooting, great food whistlefield Inn...look at the stars! Glen and Carol Ann, Motherwell, Lanarkshire.

2007 What a brilliant week we have had. The cake was lovely and welcoming. The lodge very cosy and a great place to have as a hideaway for your honey moon like us. The views everywhere are fantastic with so much to see and do. There wasnt enough time to visit everything but we will be back to visit the places missed this time. The walks and gardens are a must for all nature lovers, but good footwhere is needed. A lot of places not open yet but the museum in Dunoon let us in despite being shut...well worth a visit there. Many thanks for giving us a wonderfull honeymoon. PS The birds that visit outside our window are lovely. Great to see Robins in April Especially with all this sunshine we are having Andy and Jayne Great week, weather sunny even the midges werent too bad! Recommend a trip on the Loch nice and relaxing time. Great cake, good accommmodation. Fishing trips:- Not worth fishing Loch Eck until end of July, but worth a trip to Loch Fyne for a mackeral and to scale the shores for mussels. Have a good holiday Ken and Nicky 06/07/06 Lovely Cabin! Great holidays! Pucks Glen - Great! Really enjoyable. Try swimming in the Loch!! Rent a boat from the Coylet if you like that kind of thing. Very good if the weather is nice!! Inverary castle good!! Try the Haggis not good!! Scotland great! My first time! I loved it here! Thanks Amber + Jade xxx Our 3rd time here and still just as wonderfull. Had a brill week. Weather has been mixed but still enjoyed everyday.

Went for a drive to Ardentinny very peacefull (saw a golden Eagle) Went for a walk in botanic gardens in the pouring rain not a good idea! Got lost but we did see a Red Squirrel and a Deer.

Stevie, Bernie and Rex Motherwell Had a bit of trouble finding the Cabin as arrived in the dark...but found the Cabin beyond my expectations. V clean and cosy. Slept really well with the peace and quiet. Pucks Glen is well worth a visit - if you have a short legged dog like mine they might struggle with the steps. Lots of activities to see and do in this area so will definately come back for a longer visit. Thanks Sue, Wakefield, West Yorkshire
Great holiday, although fishing has been terrible, please leave tips for when we come back!! Lisa and Rich Come over from the US for our honey moon and fell in love with Argyll. We adored Pucks Glen and the weather was amazing. The views from the bell tower in Inverary were fantastic and we cant wait to come back. Lynne and Moray Dawson Had a fab time here, my lovely boyfriend asked me to marry him while we were out on a boat in loch eck, it was so romantic. Also went to the botanic gardens which was breathtaking, we recommend going there and taking a picnic if the weathers nice. Hope you all have as good a time as we had. Love Michelle and Andrew
Had a lovely week- very peaceful. Weather has been lovely, some snow on wednesday + it rained on friday afternoon, apart from that its been dry + mostly sunny. Pucks Glen, Glenbranter (waterfalls) and benmore gardens are all lovely walks. Saw deer at the Ardnadam trail (which was a nice walk) Saw birds of prey at Ardnadam, Benmore gardens (viewpoint) and in Glen Massan. Whistlefield Inn - worth a visit - lovely + cosy!! Lovely area - enjoyed the forests and scenery. Hazel and Peter, Co Durham
