Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
We were 1st time visitors to Butt Lodge but plan to come back very soon. Cath & Matt were exceptional hosts & the lodge itself was just stunning. Exceptionally clean, lovely white towels in bathroom as well as an array of toiletries just everything you'd want for a beak away. Oh & the breakfasts were absolutely delicious. We couldn't fault Butt Lodge at all & can't wait to come back!
We loved everything about our stay at Butt Lodge; if you are thinking of booking, do it! Cath & Mac were exceptional hosts, we really can’t thank them enough for their hospitality. They both made us feel welcome and relaxed despite travelling with a young baby. Mac is an outstanding chef and we thoroughly enjoyed both breakfast and dinner there every day. Cath is a warm, friendly host who makes you feel comfortable. We couldn’t recommend a stay a Butt Lodge more.
The lodge is located in Lochranza a small and peaceful population in the north of the island, we didn't see any shops and there were only a couple of bars in the village but this wasn't a problem for us .
Cath and her husband were very welcoming and helpful. The bedroom was on the small side but it had everything we needed. The bathroom was renovated, fresh and clean.
We also got to see the deer grazing at dusk on the golf course right in front of our window. Dinner and breakfast were excellent!
What a hidden Gem! Cath and Mac were the perfect hosts, rhe room was perfect (superior double) with a fabulous view of the Deer at 6am...just perfect. The food was delicious, Mac made the perfect t evening meal and breakfast, everything was cooked to order and fresh. We would definitely recommend Butt Lodge for a fab stay.
Butt Lodge is in a superb location and has a lovely homely feel as soon as you walk through the door. The hosts couldn't be more helpful, kind and informative and the cooked breakfasts and evening meals are just superb. We had 2 dogs with us who were also made welcome and it was great to walk out to stunning countryside and coastline.
Butt Lodge is amazing. The hosts Cath and Mac are extremely friendly and Mac is an amazing chef -- the breakfasts and dinner were really nice. The location is beautiful and the rooms are clean and large. I particular liked the little touches: proper fresh juice, homemade jam/marmalade, nice soft towels. They even made flapjacks for us for our hike up the mountain.
I had a lovely stay at Butt Lodge. Mac's beautifully prepared meals and Cath's hostessing skills make for a dream team. Lochranza is such a pictureque and peaceful area. My room was perfect and well located for seeing the deer, and I also really enjoyed seeing the seals and birdlife on my coastal walk.
Thanks too for the help with Storm Kathleen!
Everything about Butt Lodge was wonderful! We stayed 3 nights and wish we could have stayed a week. The room was comfortable and well equipped. The meals were fabulous, and the location was perfect. Staff took care of our every need. Walking was easy and the calmness and quiet at the Lodge was perfect. I couldn't imaging a better place on Arran to stay. I cannot wait to make a trip back.
Loved everything about our stay at Butt Lodge. The warm and friendly welcome, the most comfiest bed (didn't want to get out of it in the morning), the breakfast was delicious and hot, the location is just stunning. We would highly recommend Butt Lodge and will definitely visit again.
Cathy and Mac (owners) were so welcoming and friendly. The lodge is in a stunning rural location and was so clean and cosy especially after two nights of camping! We are absolutely gutted we were too late to book dinner as the food is all home cooked and sounded absolutely amazing, but we were fortunate enough to have breakfast which was outstanding - the food was so local and fresh and they serve amazing coffee. A highlight was Cathy's home made blackberry and apple jam!
