February 4, 2022 by Alison in

Had a relaxing few days at Glenfruin Lodge. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, love the wood burning stove !
Had a walk down to Duck Bay and back on our second day – It was farther than we first thought !
Sore legs and hips for two days, The Lodge offered everything we needed and we were warmly welcomed by Alison.
We look forward to visiting again when we are next in the area.
