This traditional log cabin is the perfect home-from-home for people keen to explore the area’s many natural, cultural and historic sites, as well as couples, families and friends looking for relaxing quality time.
The famous Puck’s Glen walking trails begin behind the lodges and Benmore Botanical Gardens are a short walk away along a scenic track. The lodge is one of 18 that form the quiet, privately-owned Lamont Lodges which see many visitors returning year after year.
Ruskin Lodge can accommodate up to six people in 3 bedrooms: two double rooms (with king-sized beds) and one twin room (with full-sized single beds).
Guests are provided with the use of hotel-quality luxury towels and bed linen at no extra cost.
You can relax on a large, private, covered veranda and take in the surrounding forests and mountains. We regularly see red squirrels, many types of birds and occasionally deer.

THE AREA
The famous Puck's Glen walking trails begin behind the lodges and Benmore Botanical Gardens are a short walk away along a scenic track. The lodge is one of a small group that form the quiet, privately-owned Lamont Lodges which see many visitors returning year after year.
Tourists 'in-the-know' stay in Cowal. It is a haven for wildlife with red squirrels, otters and rare bird species inhabiting some of Scotland's most unspoilt and dramatic landscapes. Within a small area you can explore sandy beaches, rugged hills, lush ancient forests and impressive mountain ranges.
There are also an excellent range of outdoor activities, including golf, fishing, horse-riding, mountain-biking and stalking, and visitors can enjoy many cultural events including the Cowal Highland Games, the largest in the world, in August each year.
There are some excellent restaurants, cafes and inns in the area as well as traditional shops, tourist facilities and indoor activities in the nearby town of Dunoon.
We look forward to welcoming you to Ruskin Lodge!
