Spean Lodge in Spean Bridge: Photos and Reviews

Spean Lodge is a 200-year-old Georgian house set within large grounds designed by a horticulturalist from Kew Gardens 150 years ago. The lodge offers a guest lounge with an open fireplace, a spirits bar, and a selection of board games for evening use. Guests have access to a garden, a picnic area, and outdoor furniture, along with a live music venue on the property.

The property has five rooms including the Well Red Room, Blue Room, Deluxe Family Room, Superior Twin Room with Garden View, and the two-bedroom Wee Apartment or River View House. Each room has a private bathroom, tea and coffee maker, hairdryer, free toiletries, and a washing machine, with garden or river views. The beds and mattresses are frequently described as the most comfortable guests have ever slept on in Scotland.

Breakfast is served in a dining room with candles and an open fire, offering a choice of creamy porridge, fluffy scrambled eggs, black pudding, and other Scottish produce. The breakfast chef, Jackie, individually prepares each meal and can accommodate different preferences. An exceptional breakfast rating is consistently noted by guests, with many calling it the best they had during their entire trip.
