Refurbished Stylish, Comfy & Cosy traditional log cabin, dogs & families welcome

The lodge is perfect for couples wanting a romantic getaway, friends looking for an escape to the country, and families needing some quality time together. The lodge sleeps up to six people in three bedrooms. There is one king-sized beds and two twin rooms with two single beds in each. Hotel quality luxury bed linen and towels are provided for all guests.

ARE YOUR DATES ALREADY BOOKED? Check out Ruskin Lodge North, 6 Lamont Lodges instead.

The lodge is part of a small collection of traditional privately-owned log cabins which see guests returning year after year. Ruskin Lodge South was previously known as Puck's Lodge and is in an elevated, quiet and bright spot. It enjoys views of the surrounding forests and mountains.

The well-equipped kitchen has an alcove dining area which seats six. The living room has two giant picture-frame windows with views of the surrounding hills and woodland, and has a large TV, DVD player, hifi with radio, small library of books and board games.

Ruskin Lodge South is a great base to explore Cowal. It is surrounded by ancient woodland, close to Loch Eck and the Holy Loch and is just a short drive away from Dunoon and all the amenities the town has to offer. Bute, the Arrochar Alps, Loch Awe, Loch Etive, Tighnabruaich, Inveraray and Loch Lomond can be reached by car or ferry, offering great day trips and spectacular journeys through some of Scotland’s most romantic, scenic and dramatic landscapes.

Come and stay at Ruskin Lodge South, whether you are looking for a relaxing getaway with friends & family, a romantic holiday with your loved one, or a comfortable base to explore Cowal.

You can relax on a large, private, covered veranda and take in the surrounding forests and mountains. We regularly see red squirrels, many types of unusual birds and deer.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Comfortable and relax place to stay.

Shelagh and Bob were great hostess and very helpful from the beginning and we appreciated all the help provided. The lodge was cosy and very comfortable. The place was very clean and full equipped, specially the kitchen and lots of warm rugs for the nights!. The double bed was so good and we slept like rocks! Amazing walks and landscapes were we were. Specially Puck’s Glenn was absolutely fantastic and very near to us as we have small children they enjoyed the walks and water falls around the area. Thank you!. The lodge is very well located to go different places. We went to Stirling, Glasgow, Loch Eck and Firking Point.

PUCKS LODGE

Shelagh and Bob were really helpful in advance of the holiday, supplying information about the local area. I was also reassured that if COVID upset our plans it would be possible to postpone the trip,( as well as cancellation at pretty short notice) The lodge is warm and spacious,with extras that I didn't expect like heated towel rain and tumble drier. The bedrooms were very comfortable and there was lots of light with the big windows. There is a well equipped kitchen and good shower over the bath. The site is very quiet with lots of walks on the doorstep. Inveraray and the Isle of Bute are easy day trips Just a shame the squirrels didn't decide to drop in !!

A great location

The lodge is perfectly situated in woodland and the lodges are spaced well apart. The lodge was excellent with a very large living room and spacious dining kitchen in addition to 3 spacious bedrooms. The huge widows give great views out. A resident heron, loads of red squirrels and deer in the morning made for a pleasant distraction. Loch Eck and the botanical gardens are right on the doorstep and you are within short driving distance from loads of good walking. This lodge would be great for families, couples or groups and was very dog friendly by the look of it.

The lovation was lovely but very limited things to do, we drove around alot trying to find days out

The property is lovely decorated and homely feel, beds were really comfy but the cleanliness was very poor, we appreciate it is dog friendly but to be covered in other dogs hair isn't great, when we didn't bring a dog. Also check tea pots when cleaning too. I am not sure where the smell comes from but maybe the carpets could do with a deep clean. Sorry for the negative comments i hate to be negative but felt I had to say something.
