What Our Guests Say

				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.

				Fabulous lodge with a drop dead view! The lodge has everything you need and more. Beds are comfortable and the lodge was very clean. Parking is good and road up though narrow is in good condition. There’s plenty of wildlife to be seen from the window and it’s a tranquil setting. Gatehouse of Fleet is walkable with a few coffee shops and restaurants, and very friendly locals. Beaches are close by , there’s plenty to keep you busy if you want, or just sit and take in the view!

				We stayed in Ocean Drive over the Easter weekend with our cat, Milo. It was incredible. So spacious and clean and with all the amenities we needed for a weekend of relaxing, eating and drinking.

Milo enjoyed chilling in front of the patio doors. They were great to watch the storm from with a drink.

James is a great, helpful host.

				We had an amazing stay in Ocean Drive at Gatehouse Luxury Lodges. The lodge was very comfortable, very clean and had everything we needed to make our stay easy. The views from the lodge were captivating and we enjoyed watching the tide come in at Fleet Bay. We visited and swam at Sandgreen, Mossyard, Carrick & Brighouse. Sometimes in the evening depending on tide times. All of them felt safe enough for our granddaughter to swim too. Gatehouse of Fleet is a lovely village. Highly recommend the Ship Inn and the Iron Brew cafe. I'm sure we will be back.
