The park is situated in a great part of Scotland with lovely scenery not to far from dunfermline and it's an easy taxi ride away. Very peaceful and when in the hot tub you have the pleasure of star gazing. The staff are always around and not intrusive at all on our first night our heating wasn't firing up and the staff where there before we even had a chance to contact them. The problem was resolved easily and we moved to another lodge as that suited us. The facilities where all first class. The staff where saying it is in the middle of a revamp which will make it even easier. Also the ducks and chickens wandering around and looking for a bite to eat was a nice touch we will definitely be back next year. Top class facility

Great cabins with good facilities. Far enough from a town that you feel "away" whilst being close enough that 4 rolls for Sunday breakfast is only a 5 minutes drive. 15 minutes from a big leisure park with loads of restaurants and just down the hill from loch glow which is awesome for all types of fishing

Had a great time here as short break. Staff were excellent, and the cabin was superb. well laid out with TV, cooker, microwave etc.. Even though the weather was cold and a bit thundery, sitting in the outdoor hot tub was excellent, and very private. Nice secluded location, but also not miles away from civilisation if you want to go into town.. could sit on the porch all day and watch the ducks run up and down.!!

Don’t believe the negative reviews! Just back from a lovely two night break in ochil 9 to celebrate my 40th birthday. Lodge is surprisingly big and all the important areas are clean and comfortable. Massage chair and hot tub were a huge hit! Small niggles, the kettle was useless, no remote for the tv in the bedroom and the Wi-Fi doesn’t work but none of that affected us, we weren’t there to watch tv! Good location, if we didn’t see cars in the other lodges we would have believed we were the only people on site. Didn’t hear a peep, super private and very quiet. We would return.
