Dog-Friendly Lodges in South West Scotland

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.

Beautiful surroundings and a peaceful retreat. Our dog loved it, too

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! ❤️

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!”

Highly recommended. Great dog friendly area and Gatehouse Miller Hill luxury lodge was spotlessly clean, well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Owners were extremely helpful prior to stay with all the information on the lodge and surrounding area.

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
We stayed in the Silver Birch dog-friendly lodge and absolutely loved it!
The super king bed was incredibly comfortable, making for a great night’s sleep. The lodge itself was spotlessly clean, cozy, and had everything you could possibly need. The kitchen was well-equipped with excellent appliances, which made cooking a breeze.
The views are exceptional—on a clear day, you can see the Isle of Man and stunning sea views right from the lodge. The location is perfect for exploring the area, yet it’s wonderfully peaceful and relaxing when you just want to unwind.
Highly recommend this lodge for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and breathtaking views.
