"The views out of the large glass wall never got tiring."
Five lodges on a hillside in South West Scotland. Eight metres of glass, and the Solway Firth in front of you. On a clear day you can see the Lake District. On a good evening, the Isle of Man.
Gatehouse Luxury Lodges sits two miles outside Gatehouse of Fleet in Dumfries and Galloway — quiet enough that the red kites circle overhead, close enough that you can walk into town through Cally Woods without getting in a car. Three of the five lodges welcome dogs. All five are single-level and accessible. None of them have hot tubs, and our guests tell us they don’t miss them.
The lodges were designed and built by me, James, and I still run the place personally. Most guests come for the view and the quiet. A good number come back.
If that sounds like your kind of break, take a look below.
We recently enjoyed our third stay in 12 months at Gatehouse Luxury Lodges, so it is not difficult to ascertain that we are very pleased with the lodges and the location. The lodges themselves are well equipped and the views are fabulous. What is not to enjoy about watching deer, red kites and rabbits from your lodge, whilst having your morning coffee? Not to mention the sun rises, sun sets and the stars at night…
James is a great host and even though I have not met him in person, we have had plenty of text chats where he has offered help and advice about places to go, things to see and walks to do in the area. On our most recent visit we arrived to find that there was a problem with a broken toilet seat. This was swiftly fixed and a new toilet seat in place within an hour of our arriving, with James contacting me the next day to apologise for the inconvenience. These things happen – the important thing is when they are fixed promptly and professionally, which this was.
The lodges are very comfortable, clean and close enough to Gatehouse that you can walk if you want to. James is on hand for help and advice and D&G itself is a beautiful part of the world. We are already looking forward to our next visit…

A beautiful place to stay. The view is wonderful- spectacular sunsets and a mesmerising seascape. The lodge is warm and inviting - modern, clean lines with lovely, comfortable furnishings - very stylish. A log fire and very powerful showers makes for a perfect stay.

A beautiful place to stay - Miller's Hill is spacious; equipped to a very high standard; stylish and comfortable. The view is wonderful and the sunsets amazing. The log burner offered us a lovely warm welcome after a super walk through Cally Woods. We hope to return soon.

Had the most amazing stay at the Silver Birch lodge, not only was i lucky to find a cat friendly lodge but a luxury one with a spectacular view and very comfortable beds! My daughter had a ball as well, excited at seeing rabbits outside the window every day. I love the area as well, Mossyard beach was a highlight. Will be back very soon!

Our second visit this year - just the best!!
Open the door and the views greet you - big open living space, with literally everything you would need. Two beautifully decorated bedrooms - the master with the same views.
Everything is spotless, well designed and comfortable.
Really convenient to explore the local area. The local wildlife is fascinating - owls deer, badger, red kites, stoats, rabbits and a variety of birds.
James is a great host, really responsive and helpful.
We will be back!

We have just returned from a fabulous one week stay, with our dog Watson, in Millers Hill lodge. The lodge is really well equipped, furnished to a very high standard, spotlessly clean and has amazing views over the Fleet to Moss Yard beach. We are already looking forward to returning next year.
