The Meikle Lodge, for example, felt thoughtfully appointed, balancing modern conveniences like WiFi and USB sockets with the surprising inclusion of guitars, a detail that speaks volumes about the thoughtful nature of the hosts. It strikes a refined balance, offering a peaceful retreat with the practicalities of a well-equipped self-catering kitchen, making it an exceptionally comforting base for exploring the Highlands.”
