Jennifer Dick | January 2023

Kirsty is so welcoming and friendly, Hannah makes an amazing coffee, Pete’s dinners are a must do, they are epic. Especially the sorbet 😍 John is so amazing at what he does and makes every part of your stay so easy… it wouldn’t be the same without him
Becca Swan | Wedding

Can't recommend Headwaters Lodge highly enough to anyone thinking of getting married there! We decided to get married in the idyllic location so we could have a small intimate wedding. From the initial enquiry we were looked after by the staff - our day was perfect and the team when over and above to make sure of this! Beautiful venue, stunning location, committed and caring staff, wonderful food, comfortable accommodation and an unforgettable day. Couldn't have asked for more! Thank you so much ❤
