Lock in a great price for Gulabin Lodge - rated 8.8 by recent guests.

to get started.

Great location. Nice lounge with log fire. Clean room, comfortable bed. Well equipped kitchen with plenty of cooking facilities and utensils. Helpful, friendly staff.

Scotfree53, United Kingdom

One night stay to break the journey. So very good value. I have no complains despite not used to not having ensuite bathroom.

Layla, United Kingdom

The location is ideal and the rooms are fine. Parking plentiful and safe as houses.

Paul, United Kingdom

Excellent comfortable beds. Very large well equipped facilities. Good for families or groups.

Josephine, United Kingdom

I liked the number of available wc and shower facilities, this insured that there was always availability and no waiting around

Charlotte, United Kingdom

A good place to stay when doing the Cateran trail. The location is fantastic. Great scenery. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The room is very basic but that is to be expected of a lodge. You really need to bring food as the only place to get something is a nearby hotel which is very expensive and does not serve non-residents when busy.

Benedikt, Germany

It was okay. The host was cool and easygoing, definitely have a chat with him while being there ;]

Jacktom, Poland

Our host was extremely helpful.The facility is self-catering (any supplies you need make sure to bring with you) and if you want full value out of the well equipped kitchen it's worth staying more than one night. Many great outdoor things to do and two cute lounge rooms with fire places stocked with wood ready to go. The rooms and shared bathrooms are basic and clean. 10/10 for groups. There is an excellent drying room which is fantastic for travellers on the go.

Adrian, Australia

The space in the lodge and peacefulness of the surroundings. The lodge is modern but retains a traditional character as well as seen in the sitting rooms. Highly recommended for groups with the considerable activities for young people on site (climbing frames and zip wire). The outdoor centre also has a cafe on site.

Catherine, United Kingdom

Excellent self-catering - one of the best equipped kitchens I have ever used in hostels/lodges, immaculately clean, and comfy beds and new, white clean linen. Phil, the manager was lovely and helpful too.

눉I have no complaints except the WiFi weren’t great- very slow. Because of no phone signal WiFi only means of communicating but that’s to be expected the place being remote. The mattress on bunk beds weren't comfortable according to my friends who slept on them but again for the price we pay per night can’t expect too much. We were just passing through - I would stay there again & would recommend it. Thank you
