Couldn’t fault anything about the lodge. Only negative thing I would say is the site is very dimly lit at night so if your out with your dog take a torch but didn’t stop us enjoying ourselves.

Stayed in the lodge next door (deer lodge) earlier in the year and it was superb, bear lodge is identical and is in a nice quiet corner of the site, everything was clean and tidy and the Prosecco was a really nice touch, even the carton of milk made it special, we got a tea and coffee when we arrived after a long drive. The power in the shower was amazing. Dog friendly. The lodge is only 10 minutes from Perth so nice and central for Stirling, Glasgow and Edinburgh. We will definitely be back in 2024.

We personally had a hard time getting a taxi to the main street and buses were quite a wait but as long as you don't mind a walk there and back its honestly fine, thats also not anything to do with the cabin or the park itself just the public transport so didn't effect our stay at all. The only negative i would say about the lodge is that we had to leave lol

Everything. Honesty, i couldn't fault a thing about the bear lodge, the park or the owners and staff. The cabin itself was immaculately clean and they thought of absolutely everything, even a chilled bottle of processo in the fridge. Our elderly dog felt calm and settled at the bear lodge, he loved it so much and quickly made himself at home. The owners were so lovely and friendly and we felt so welcomed and any of the staff we spoke to were lovely and friendly too. The park was well maintained and not far from the main street about a 30 minute walk where there is lots of places to drink and eat and also a co-op and most of the bars and restaurants are dog friendly too. Our lodge was right next to the river and we had a little sun room which we sat in at night and it was beautiful just the sounds of the river and nature, i will be returning again and have recommended it to many people.

Nothing! exceeded our expectations!

Another great stay with Laura and Shirley. Last year we stayed in Deer Lodge, which was amazing! This year we stayed in Bear Lodge, which was also fantastic! Bear Lodge has a wee summer house and an outdoor sitting area next to the burn. Lovely to sit and read in the evening with a glass of wine in hand! (there's a heater in the summer house, if needed) Laura and Shirley are exceptional hosts, very welcoming and friendly! Especially appreciated is the bottle of bubbly and milk waiting to welcome guests! Auchterarder is a great base for visiting areas round about, e.g. we visited Callander, Dunblane and Aberfoyle, all lovely! All in all a great stay and we'll be back! Also, most places welcome dogs, which is a big bonus!

Bear lodge is in a lovely location for experiencing the natural beauty of the local area. Auchterader is an easy walk and has a good selection of restaurants, shops and bars. There are some great little towns and places of interest nearby too!
