Balgedie Lodge – Accessible Scottish Lodge

Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Easter Balgedie, Balgedie Lodge is the perfect escape for those seeking an accessible and relaxing holiday in Central Scotland. This charming holiday home has been lovingly renovated to ensure it’s welcoming and comfortable for everyone, including guests with mobility needs. The lodge is all on one level, with thoughtful features like a wheelchair-accessible ensuite wet room, wide doorways, and level access throughout, making it a truly inclusive retreat.

Inside, the lodge feels warm and inviting, with space to sleep up to five guests across three bedrooms: a cozy double, a flexible twin that can convert to a double on request, and a single room. For families, an additional child’s bed or cot can be arranged with prior notice. The sitting room, with its crackling open fire and comfortable sofas, is the heart of the home—a wonderful spot to unwind with a good book, watch a movie, or enjoy a family singalong at the piano.

The sunroom is a guest favorite, offering stunning views of Loch Leven and the dramatic Lomond Hills. It’s the perfect place to soak up the scenery, whether you’re sipping your morning coffee or watching a spectacular sunset with a glass of wine in hand. Outside, the enclosed garden is ideal for children and pets, complete with outdoor furniture, a covered patio, and a barbecue for al fresco dining. Guests traveling with dogs will also love the newly extended back garden, a secure space where pets can run freely and play.

Balgedie Lodge is perfectly situated for exploring the area. Loch Leven’s Heritage Trail, a fully accessible path, winds around the water’s edge, offering breathtaking views and opportunities to spot local wildlife. History buffs can take a boat trip to Castle Island, where Mary Queen of Scots was once imprisoned, while food lovers will enjoy the award-winning Loch Leven’s Larder, just a short stroll away. For a friendly pint or hearty meal, Balgedie Toll Tavern and other nearby pubs welcome visitors with their warm hospitality.

Whether you’re here to enjoy the tranquility of the countryside, explore Scotland’s rich history, or simply relax in a beautiful setting, Balgedie Lodge has everything you need for a memorable stay. It’s dog-friendly, family-friendly, and thoughtfully equipped to ensure every guest feels at home.
