“From peaceful escapes and stunning views to dog-friendly stays and unforgettable sunsets, we’re proud that so many guests return to stay with us again and again.”
Feel so lucky to have found these properties. We've been holidaying in and around Gatehouse Of Fleet for almost 20 years but this is our first stay here. Silver Birch was perfect for us. The kitchen is well equipped. Great Wi-fi. Loved the Sonos sound system. Quality TV. Showers are great. Bed was extremely comfy. Easy walk down the hill and through Cally Woods into town from the door.
Saw foxes and stoats from the huge windows. The view is absolutely stunning. Over the fields and down to the sea.
Perfect location. We WILL be back. This is our new favourite.
Thank you James and team/ family.

What a fantastic week we’ve had at Gatehouse of Fleet Luxury Lodges! 🌿🐇🦅
We had the most relaxing stay, and both we and the dogs absolutely loved it. There was so much wildlife to watch, with rabbits everywhere, but the highlight had to be seeing the magnificent red kite soaring overhead – such a special sight!
The lodge itself was amazing, spotlessly clean and fully equipped with absolutely everything we could possibly need. It was clear that every little detail had been thought of, making it feel like a real home from home.
A special thank you to James, who was so welcoming and accommodating throughout our stay. Nothing was too much trouble, and he made our holiday such a pleasant and memorable experience.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gatehouse of Fleet Luxury Lodges to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in beautiful surroundings. We’ll definitely be back! ❤️

Our 2nd stay at Cairn Dyke. A fantastic location; stunning views of the estuary and beyond. We enjoyed our stay. A few minor, hopefully constructive observations. Given the Luxury title, the fabric on the seats in the dining area are quite stained and there were dubious stains in the shower room, behind the door. The coasters on the coffee table needed a good clean as did the plastic table cloth - the washer control panel needs attention, as well; attention to detail makes such a difference! Perhaps on a more serious note, the property is marketed as no dogs, but we did find some pet hairs on the settee and upon reading the visitors book it alludes to both cats and dogs staying; not exactly reassuring (and potentially dangerous) especially if a guest has a pet allergy.

If I could give ten stars I would.
The lodge was outstanding in terms of comfort, design and cleanliness but the location is simply stunning. The views out of the large glass wall never got tiring. It was lovely to see birds and wild rabbits every day, we were also lucky enough to be visited by a hare.
We didn’t want to leave but have compensated by booking a return visit later in the year.

Situated on the outskirts of Gatehouse of Fleet on a working farm with an amazing view of the Solway Firth. The area is very peaceful and relaxing, with lots of rabbits and birds to keep you amused while you enjoy your morning cuppa. The lodge was well equipped, clean and comfortable and booking was easy using their website. Communication was good throughout and very informative and James responded quickly to any queries during our stay. Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking again

What a superb place!! From the minute you walk through the door you are blown away. Absolutely everything we needed. Comfortable bed and pillows. Spacious living area. The shower is next level fabulous too!!
Views to just get lost in, dark skies at night. The wildlife is amazing - bring your binoculars for the Red Kites!! The local area is well worth exploring - people are friendly and welcoming.

Comfortable spacious lodges set on the hillside overlooking the most amazing view. From the booking process to the end of our stay information was readily available and although we didn’t meet our host he quickly responded to any communication. We absolutely loved our stay and look forward to a return visit…!

We holiday in lodges regularly and this lodge and stay is up there with the best. The views are stunning, the wildlife amazing and the locals so friendly. The underfloor heating kept us really snug and cozy . The location is perfect for simply walking or providing easy access to beaches and local towns . Our dog ( Mr Brodie ) spent most of his time outside watching the bunnies , he had a great time too. Absolutely recommended 100% we will be back ! I’ve attached just a few of our photo memories . We did also see deer but didn’t have the camera handy ‘

“A beautiful luxury lodge with breathtaking views and everything you could possibly need. The beds were super comfortable, the setting was peaceful and scenic, and the host James was friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help.
We also loved how dog‑friendly it was — Cooper, our little dog, had an amazing stay and settled in straight away. Highly recommended!”

We had a really comfortable stay at Silver Birch Lodge. The lodge was very spacious, well laid out, and clean and tidy when we arrived. It felt homely and well equipped, with plenty of room to relax, and was nice and quiet — a great base for our break.The weather wasn’t the best during our stay, but we still managed a few enjoyable local walks.We’d highly recommend The Masonic Arms pub — very pet friendly, lovely food, and extremely generous portion sizes. The Sunday carvery is especially good, but it gets very busy, so booking a table is definitely advised.We also enjoyed visiting The Angel Coffee Shop in town, another pet‑friendly place with great coffee and delicious scones.Overall, a lovely, relaxed stay in a great location, with excellent local places to eat and drink.

Stayed in Millers hill.
From start to finish it was prefect, we loved the peace and tranquility alongside the walks to Gatehouse via the old military road bypassing robbers gate.
We also enjoyed an afternoon watching the red kites gliding around in the air currents overlaid with stunning views to the rear of the property which capture vast distances on a clear day.
All mod cons and entertainment are provided whether listening to your favourite music or watching a movie to pass an evening.
Only two minor details that were missing which were oven gloves and matches for the log burner.
Looking forward to our return visit in the summer fingers crossed for some good weather.

To quote Mary Poppins, our stay has been “practically perfect in every way”. The lodge and environment are the perfect place to relax, refresh and rejuvenate. Beautiful walks in the local woods straight through into Gatehouse of Fleet. The dogs have given a score of 11/10 and we are unable to disagree.
A shout out for some of the local businesses and the fish from Kirkubright caught overnight was the best cod I have ever eaten.
Highly recommended.

We stayed in the Ocean Drive Lodge.
The lodge itself is beautifully designed — modern, spacious, and immaculately clean. The open-plan living area with the huge windows is a real highlight; waking up to those uninterrupted views over the bay and countryside was just incredible.
Everything inside the lodge felt high quality and well thought out. The kitchen was fully equipped, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the under-floor heating made it cosy no matter the weather. It felt like a real home from home, but with that extra touch of luxury.
We were especially impressed by how truly dog-friendly Ocean Drive Lodge is. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that dogs are genuinely welcome — not just allowed. There was plenty of space inside the lodge for our dog to relax comfortably, and the surrounding area is perfect for dog walks. The variety of nearby routes, stunning scenery, and peaceful setting made it an ideal place to bring our dog without any stress especially as she is incredibly anxious.
Overall, Ocean Drive Lodge exceeded our expectations. It’s the kind of place you leave already planning your return. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a high-end, tranquil getaway with stunning views — especially if you’re bringing your dog along.

Another great stay at Gatehouse this time in the newest lodge - Millers Hill.
The wet weather didn't spoil our enjoyment- always a warm comfortable place to come back to.
The wood burner was a real bonus.
Well equipped - the air fryer a great addition.
Great communication from James all through our stay - thank you.
Im sure we'll be back.
