❄️ Cosy Winter Breaks in Dumfries & Galloway
There’s something magical about winter in Dumfries & Galloway. Frosted landscapes, golden sunsets, and peaceful beaches create the perfect backdrop for a relaxing lodge escape. At Gatehouse Luxury Lodges, you can unwind in comfort while enjoying panoramic views of the Solway Firth and the surrounding countryside.
🔥 Warm, Welcoming Lodges
Each of our lodges has been designed with comfort and relaxation in mind.
Ocean Drive and Cairn Dyke feature log burners, perfect for cosy evenings with a glass of wine or a good book.
Underfloor heating runs throughout, keeping every room warm no matter how cold it gets outside.
Large windows frame the winter sunsets, and our quiet location means all you’ll hear is the crackle of the fire and the occasional call of a red kite overhead.
🌲 Explore the Quiet Beauty of Winter
Winter is one of the best times to discover Dumfries & Galloway’s peaceful side.
Wander along Carrick Shore or Mossyard Beach, where you’ll often have the sands all to yourself.
Visit Galloway Forest Park, known as one of Europe’s darkest skies – perfect for stargazing on crisp, clear nights.
Stop in Kirkcudbright or Castle Douglas for local crafts, coffee, and warm hospitality.
Every outing ends with the simple pleasure of returning to your lodge, kicking off your boots, and letting the warmth welcome you home.
🐾 Dog-Friendly Escapes Too
Winter is just as enjoyable for four-legged guests!
Our dog-friendly lodges, including Ocean Drive and Silver Birch, have easy access to nearby walks and beaches. Whether it’s a brisk stroll through woodland or a quiet morning by the shore, Dumfries & Galloway offers endless space to explore.
🎄 Make It a Festive Treat
If you’re looking for something special, a December or January stay is ideal for unwinding after the busy season.
At Gatehouse Luxury Lodges, we go all out for Christmas — each lodge is beautifully decorated and surrounded by sparkling lights that twinkle against the night sky, creating a warm, festive glow across the park.
Add some extra magic to your winter with visits to local Christmas markets, the illuminated streets of Kirkcudbright, or simply cosy evenings by the fire watching the lights shimmer outside your window. It’s the perfect place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the season in comfort.
