The lodge was lovely, the owners left welcome gifts and the attention to detail didnt go unnoticed. They truly did think of everything to make the stay memorable. The Galloway dark skies didnt disappoint and Saturday night was absolutely spectacular for the star gazers! The lodge was secluded enough to escape but close enough to stock up on Read moresupplies. If I had more time I wouldve loved to have stayed longer. Hide

Would definitely recommend if looking for luxurious, romantic and a great location. Loved the fact that people who were booked into a Lodge were the only ones who had access to the area - there was a barrier you had to pass through. Lodge was clean, comfortable and the views were fantastic too. Plenty of walks from the lodge too.

We have stayed twice so far this year in the Platinum Lodges, and it has been the most wonderful, relaxing and enjoyable stay both times. The attention to detail and cleanliness in the lodges is absolutely first class. The little touches like beautiful flowers on arrival, treats for us and our doggies, and the most beautiful views from the well kepRead moret hot tubs is just out of this world and will keep us coming back for many more adventures on this beautiful piece of land!

This is a truly special holiday lodge. Spectacular views to the sea and towards the Lake District on a clear day. The Lodge is so well equipped we needed for nothing. Easy access for the less able, a couple of steps to get indoors then everything easily accessible including walk in shower. Very comfy king size bed. Very cosy even on colder eveningsRead more. The owners left us a welcome tray with tasty tablet, chocolate and biscuits all locally sourced. She had kindly popped milk in the fridge too. Hide
