We visited Craiglea in August 2012 with some friends and enjoyed it so much that we persuaded our extended family to join us for the following year!
The lodge is furnished to a high level of luxury and comfort. We spent hours in the pool and sauna when we weren't hiking, fishing or other similar activities in the beautiful Scottish Highlands, and spent the long evenings relaxing in the expansive unspoilt grounds that go on for as far as the eye can see.
The adults and children loved it in equal measure and I couldn't recommend it enough.

I stayed at Craiglea Lodge together with friends. We had young children. I was impressed by the complete experience. The booking process was excellent and professional. We were met at the lodge by the local agent who showed us around and kindly saw to all our needs during the stay. Each room was well furnished and comfortable and as advertised. There's a great spacious area for dining/ relaxing. The star is the pool area which is absolutely lovely; the pool clean and warm with music with surround sound, and a table tennis table to top it all off. The kids had a great time during the day and adults had some private time at night. Would surely recommend to families with children and adult breaks

Since the eve commencing the 9th April until the sunrise of the Sunday passing I ventured to Craiglea with my peers. A delightful journey is was, I felt the epic adventure was nigh, if not for the Astra I travelled in, a limo would have been sufficient. A order was placed with Tesco of Wick, oh my I would order a hundred times over, food of gods arrived in flourishes of golden wonder. The swimming hole was spectacular and the view was miraculous, although some flaws mentioned in other reviews still remained.
Upon the days of swigging whisky I found comfort on the rug, twice this was. A fantastic time I really did have, the beach was grand and I saw some dogs, even a cat, I smiled the whole time for I was just so happy. The only time I was unhappy was when I drank too much gin and cried loads, literally buckets and screamed my heart out.

I stayed here recently as I was working locally. I can see the value of this accomodation for a large family or group of friends. Great value and excellent facilities, even smaller details like inflatibles for the pool and board games in the lounge area.
The only downside for me was the lack of a double bed and minor annoyances that I stress were minor. The views around the area are exceptional! The proprietor was also very helpful and accommodating to any needs.

In February 2015, me and 19 other friends went to stay at craiglea to enjoy our half term break. The lodge itself is fantastic for self catered accommodation with 3 fully furnished kitchens and living rooms with everything you could possible need. Having a pool and sauna was also a luxury, fully equipped with inflatables and towels and a speaker system! However it would have been an even bigger bonus had the Jacuzzi been warmer. The owners do not pester you or interrupt your stay but are on hand 24/7 to help with any issues you have which we felt was a perfect balance. The location is ideal, it is rural but still supplied by asda home delivery, which was how we stocked up for the week! It was just 20 minutes drive from nearby wick with local ammenities and some lovely pubs! Around the lodge is a very remote village which is located on the idyllic coastlines of east Scotland and surrounded by an adorable wood which was perfect for adventures. Craiglea is the perfect mix for parties and exploring, relaxing and celebrating and we would be more than happy to return again. It was also fantastic value at just £60 a head for a whole week!

17 of us stayed here for my 40th birthday. We had the best time.
Very high standard of decor, well equipped and lots of room.
Pool was great and entertained the kids all weekend.
Would definitely return and recommend highly to anyone wishing to travel near or far for a break.
Stayed on new years eve. Obviously given the date was going to be more expensive but really wasnt worth what we paid. Wifi apparently hadn't been fixed so we had no way to play music. Most of the bins in the bathrooms were still unemptied from previous guests which was disgusting. My partner had to sleep on a bed with no duvet just using a throw as a blanket as there wasn't one for him.
Place was fun because of company but wouldn't return for that price again.
