Last minute getaway the weekend before the twins returned to school after the summer holidays.

Arrived at Loch Rannoch Highland Club to find reception closed and our lodge occupied. Got some mobile reception and owner had left a message to say we'd been switched as double booked. Turned out to be a result as this was an upgrade to a bigger lodge with lovely views.
