Lairds Lodge Country Estate

A beautiful home from home. Stunning grounds and pool. There is no typical restaurant on-site, or room service, but they do a set menu each evening at 7pm. This is delicious, so worth it. The staff were very attentive, warm and caring. Each morning at breakfast the manager asked us our plans for the day and provided recommendations and local tips. Thanks to this we managed to catch the Saturday market and dine at a local nearby restaurant (Zinzi, highly recommend!), which we would otherwise have missed. The hotel even drove us to/from the restaurant at a very reasonable cost and the driver was so nice. The room and bathroom, though really clean, is slightly dated. The bathroom more so than the room. The tiles had just been painted over and the taps really stiff. The shower pressure was rubbish. It could really do with a refresh. There was also a lack of attention to detail with no hooks for dressing gowns, a lack of plugs, hair dryer didn’t work etc. It wouldn’t put me off going back, but just not as luxurious as we expected. Otherwise a really good stay, I’d give 4.5 stars if I could.

We stayed at lairds lodge for two nights and wish we could stay longer!! The service is incredible and so genuine. The attention to detail combined with a friendly smile really did make this place stand out from the rest and after lots of travelling and different hotels, made for a homely feel too. Breakfast and dinner was brilliant, better than 5 star restaurants we had visited during the holiday. The style and decor is so quirky and creates for a really relaxing environment. If you are visiting Plet on the garden route this is a good option too.
