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.

 

 

 

Outstanding lodge, beautifully furnished, extremely comfortable and equipped to a very high standard. There is a variety of outdoor seating on the decked area which is a pleasant spot to watch the red squirrels and catch the sun. For children, the hosts have equipped the lodge with a variety of toys both indoor and outdoor. Hosts are very warm and welcoming and provided a very generous welcome box. Highly recommend this lodge, you will not be disappointed.

 

An Fasgadh is a fabulous lodge situated on a pleasant quiet site conveniently situated near Blackwaterfoot Village on the island of Arran. Blackwaterfoot has a well-stocked store and Post-Office, local bakery, general store, and butcher. The Kinloch Hotel and Shiskine Golf Course Clubhouse are worth visiting. The local 12 hole golf course is unique. A super beach, interesting rocks and lots of sand when tide out. Nearby Kings Caves and the Machrie standing stones are well worth visiting. Gerry and Susan, the owners, have equipped the lodge extremely well with everything provided for a holiday on Arran. It is like home from home. Lovely bed linen, plenty of towels and toiletries provided. The welcome box is a really thoughtful touch - with local products and a bottle of fizz to start the holiday. There is even a bottle of local fresh milk provided for your first cuppa. There is a well stocked store-room at the back of the lodge containing with a great variety of items for young and older holiday makers to have some outdoor fun - from golf clubs, kites, balls and so much more. There is a huge balcony around the lodge with plenty of space. It catches the sun at different times of day. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the wildlife eating from the many feeders hung from nearby trees. Red squirrels and birds were abundant. We have stayed at An Fasgadh for two years running and can thoroughly recommend as an excellent holiday experience. Many thanks to Gerry and Susan as going out of their way posting a forgotten item to us at home and for being easily contactable if any issue were to arise.

 

 

We can't believe that you could find anywhere better to stay on this beautiful, fascinating island. The lodge is ideally placed in a quiet setting overlooking distant hills but only a mile from Blackwaterfoot that caters for all one's basic necessities. The lodge is spotlessly clean, modern, and extremely well equipped. Susan and Gerry are exemplary hosts for whom nothing is to much trouble. We would certainly choose to stay here again if we visit the island again. 

 

 

Gerry and Susan's lodge is fabulous. Tranquil setting just a short distance from Blackwaterfoot - in my opinion the best place to stay in Arran. Really well equipped and such care taken with all the added touches, the welcome package is fabulous. Gerry and Susan provide loads of info about the island and really look after you. I couldn't think of a better place to stay on this amazing island.
