				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.
