We are a family of four and had a wonderful week at the lodge.
It was very clean and well equipped. There was a very generous amount of luxury toiletries, which we appreciated.
We all enjoyed seeing the beautiful red squirrels.
Thank you Gerry and Susan

Thank you Gerry & Susan for letting us rent you lovely lodge Ar Fasgadh.
We have visited the lodge on numerous occasions and always feel welcomed and at home. Torbeg is a very special place, very peaceful with lots of visiting red squirrels, rabbits & native birds thanks to the nuts & birdseed they supply. You really learn to relax into island time at Ar Fasgadh. All home comforts and more are provided for by Gerry and Susan and we wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend staying there.
We have made many happy memories there.

We've just spent a week at Ar Fasgadh . The lodge was so nice inside and out. The setting is lovely, and to be able to watch red squirrels feeding on nuts in the garden every day was a real treat. The inside of the lodge is perfect too, the attention to detail is evident everywhere. Thank you Gerry and Susan for enabling us to have a lovely holiday, and well done to you both. You're doing a great job . I would definitely recommend your lodge to anyone wanting to holiday on Arran and we would love to return one day.

I have been holidaying in Arran for 30 years and have stayed in many different properties over that time but can say honestly that I have never stayed in better accommodation on the island than Ar Fasgadh. The lodge is beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. Gerry and Susan are wonderful hosts, so welcoming and the welcome pack of local produce was really thoughtful. We will certainly be back to Ar Fasgadh and will be recommending the lodge to anyone we know visiting the Island.

We enjoyed another wonderful holiday at Ar Fasgadh.
Gerry and Susan are so welcoming and very helpful, with any information we needed.
The lodge was spotlessly clean, and so well equiped with everything you could need. The welcome pack they left us was a great starter for our stay, and a very kind touch.
If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is the perfect place, red squirrels playing outside the window, Amazing.
We would definitely recommend Ar Fasgadh to anyone.

Ar Fasgadh was the perfect base for a wonderful week on Arran. Gerry and Susan made sure we were well looked after providing us with lots of information before our stay and a welcome hamper to settle in - a nice touch. The lodge was maintained to an excellent standard and equipped with everything you could think of. We loved seeing the red squirrels from the windows, and down at Blackwaterfoot beach we saw sea otters, and on one day a large pod of dolphins swim by. I'd highly recommend the lodge to anyone who wants to spend time on Arran.

A lodge with EVERYTHING and high quality. Owners are excellent communicators and have thought of everything a mixed age group may need on holiday. From toys for little ones through games and equipment for all ages. Also a superb welcome pack full of local produce.
 
"Fantastic 5* Lodge"
Reviewed for a stay in July 2024
Absolutely fabulous lodge. Gerry and Susan have lovingly kitted out the lodge with all the amenities that you could possibly wish for. Tastefully decorated and extremely comfortable with some lovely finishing touches, such as quality linen, Sense of Arran toiletries and a welcome basket filled with other Arran goodies. Some homely touches including hair drier & even hot water bottles ( not that we needed them). Had a fantastic stay and Gerry was in touch as and when required. Thanks to you both for allowing us to have the use of your beautiful lodge. See you next time. Andy & Jackie
