Finding the right holiday accommodation when you or a loved one has mobility needs can sometimes feel overwhelming. At Gatehouse Luxury Lodges, we’ve designed our lodges with accessibility, comfort, and peace of mind at the heart of what we do — so you can simply relax and enjoy your time away.
My partner, Lottie, is a qualified Occupational Therapist with 27 years of experience working in both hospitals and the local community. Thanks to her input, we’ve been able to include thoughtful details that make a real difference for guests with mobility needs.
Why Choose an Accessible Holiday Lodge in Scotland?
Our lodges are single-level, spacious, and thoughtfully laid out to make moving around easier. Wide hallways, open-plan living spaces, and step-free entrances mean you can enjoy every corner of your lodge without worry. Large windows frame panoramic views of the Solway Firth, so you can take in the beauty of Dumfries and Galloway from the comfort of your sofa.

We understand that everyone’s needs are different, so we’ve built flexibility into our design. Our accessible features include:

The Perfect Base in Dumfries and Galloway
Our lodges are set just outside the charming town of Gatehouse of Fleet, where you’ll find cafés, restaurants, and shops, all in a friendly and picturesque setting. For those who love the outdoors, Dumfries and Galloway is home to peaceful walks, beautiful gardens, and scenic drives — many of which are suitable for those with limited mobility.
Guest Stories: Comfort for All Generations
One of our recent guests shared:
“We are an adults-only party with one elderly parent who has mobility issues. Single-level living, no steps into the shower, and plenty of space to move around with a walking aid were essential for us — and these lodges met every need.”
