RiverBeds Luxury Wee Lodges with Hot Tubs @ Woodlands Glencoe - Ballachulish

Our stay was absolutely amazing! The place was so peaceful, clean, and perfect for relaxation. The hospitality was outstanding — we truly felt welcomed. There was also a food truck nearby serving halal burgers, which were incredibly delicious! The jacuzzi was a great touch; the water was hot and ready at all times. Breakfast was a bit limited, but everything we tried was fresh and very tasty. Highly recommended for a calm and cozy getaway!

We are just back from a last-minute overnight stay here at Woodlands in Glen Coe and we were blown away with the riverbed by the lake experience. Despite booking at 9pm the night before with a ‘deal’ rate, we were welcomed with such thoughtful and generous extra little touches—bathrobes and slippers, a hot tub pre-heated ready for us to enjoy, and homemade cookies from Amber. The surprise breakfast basket left at our door in the morning had us in ‘awe’ and along with being a lovely end to our mini stay, it was delicious. The riverbed pod felt luxurious, and we fell in love with Glen Coe and Woodlands, during our first ever visit to the area. Though it was our first child-free night in a decade, we’re already planning on returning when we get the chance. Thank you for making our stay feel extra special. Ps. The young gentleman at reception was exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, and full of helpful tips about local sights, dining, and even a free ferry ride.

We visited this week and absolutely loved the place. I booked an Itison deal which was absolutely amazing value for money. The hot tub is lovely and great that it’s sunk into the decking for privacy. |The pod itself was brilliant, just enough room for two and the bed was really comfy. Loved the table and chairs on the decking.||We had glorious sunshine for April and it definitely made our trip.||My other half liked the course for golf, couple holes trickier than expected.||We visited the food truck for breakfast and the food and service was lovely. We would have used it for dinner but my other half is allergic to fish and the menu was mostly seafood, would say that was the only negative but that’s just personal for us.

Went for a relaxing holiday with my partner and had a fantastic time! We really appreciated the vegan breakfast option which was delicious. The lodges are very well designed and perfectly located right beside the river. They offer great activities, we tried golfing, Segway riding and archery, all of which were really fun and the instructors were all great! Overall an amazing experience with great views ✨ if you go in the summer beware of midges

If you’ve ever dreamed of showering while sitting on a toilet while elbowing your travel companion in the ribs because there’s no space to turn around — congratulations, your fantasy lodge exists! Wee Lodges delivers an experience so cramped and uncomfortable, it should be studied by NASA for space capsule design.

They proudly advertise this plastic shoebox as a “4-star” stay. Honestly, that’s adorable. If this is 4 stars, a broom closet deserves a Michelin Guide listing. The interior is so tiny that once you bring your luggage in, there’s nowhere to sit — unless you enjoy perching on your suitcase and calling it rustic charm.

And let’s talk highlights. The food truck parked outside — yes, the food truck — was genuinely good. Which should tell you everything about the accommodations. When the best part of your “lodge” experience is a meal served from a van, you know you've made a tragic mistake.

This place didn’t just disappoint — it derailed our Scotland trip. Avoid at all costs unless you’re packing a sense of humor, zero luggage, and dreams of extreme discomfort.

Just back from an amazing stay at woodlands. This was our 3rd time. We have stayed in the riverbeds twice & this trip we were upgraded to the seabed which was a lovely surprise & with the Prosecco. This setting was truly amazing, the views stunning & facilities brilliant, including the projector & sound system. Breakfast as always was delicious. Being in the hot tub looking over Lock Linnie was superb. Can’t recommend this enough for a truly relaxing break.

Amazing place to stay, lovely lodges with hot tubs - love the breakfast basket they do each morning such a lovely touch! only negative is the bathroom/shower situation it can get quite a damp smell after showering which is quite overpowering we have had to buy candles to keep the room smelling fresh. Maybe some in bathroom fresheners would be good Or some toilet gels etc to keep the damp smell away!

If your idea of luxury is showering while straddling a toilet, having a noisy fan on 24/7 and it smelling of damp with damp-stained walls then do book… Otherwise avoid at all costs.

They bribe people with a bottle of Prosecco for positive social media, and clearly have a good marketing team, so the photos look amazing. But don’t be fooled.
We had a truly awful experience here - so bad we booked into another hotel for 2 nights because we couldn’t face staying there.

The lodge is tiny. Fair enough - but the bathroom is like a cupboard and the entire lodge becomes very damp. The walls were stained. You have to have the fan on 24/7 but it is very noisy so no chance of sleep.

You can stay at multiple hotels nearby for half the price but double the size of room, cleaner and more comfortable.
