Reviews

Situated on the outskirts of Gatehouse of Fleet on a working farm with an amazing view of the Solway Firth. The area is very peaceful and relaxing, with lots of rabbits and birds to keep you amused while you enjoy your morning cuppa. The lodge was well equipped, clean and comfortable and booking was easy using their website. Communication was good throughout and very informative and James responded quickly to any queries during our stay. Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking again

What a superb place!! From the minute you walk through the door you are blown away. Absolutely everything we needed. Comfortable bed and pillows. Spacious living area. The shower is next level fabulous too!!
Views to just get lost in, dark skies at night. The wildlife is amazing - bring your binoculars for the Red Kites!! The local area is well worth exploring - people are friendly and welcoming.

Comfortable spacious lodges set on the hillside overlooking the most amazing view. From the booking process to the end of our stay information was readily available and although we didn’t meet our host he quickly responded to any communication. We absolutely loved our stay and look forward to a return visit…!

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 ‘

Fantastic stay as always in this beautiful place.

The lodge was spacious and welcoming and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The views are amazing!

“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!”

We had a really comfortable stay at Silver Birch Lodge. The lodge was very spacious, well laid out, and clean and tidy when we arrived. It felt homely and well equipped, with plenty of room to relax, and was nice and quiet — a great base for our break.The weather wasn’t the best during our stay, but we still managed a few enjoyable local walks.We’d highly recommend The Masonic Arms pub — very pet friendly, lovely food, and extremely generous portion sizes. The Sunday carvery is especially good, but it gets very busy, so booking a table is definitely advised.We also enjoyed visiting The Angel Coffee Shop in town, another pet‑friendly place with great coffee and delicious scones.Overall, a lovely, relaxed stay in a great location, with excellent local places to eat and drink.

Stayed in Millers hill.

From start to finish it was prefect, we loved the peace and tranquility alongside the walks to Gatehouse via the old military road bypassing robbers gate.
We also enjoyed an afternoon watching the red kites gliding around in the air currents overlaid with stunning views to the rear of the property which capture vast distances on a clear day.
All mod cons and entertainment are provided whether listening to your favourite music or watching a movie to pass an evening.
Only two minor details that were missing which were oven gloves and matches for the log burner.
Looking forward to our return visit in the summer fingers crossed for some good weather.

These are beautiful lodges with a stunning view.
I haven't stayed there but have visited them with work.

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.

Our second stay at Silver Birch lodge which was lovely and peaceful in an idyllic setting with great views. The lodge is well-equipped and everything has been thought of. It’s really comfortable and perfect for a relaxing break!

James and the team, just home from a fantastic week at the luxury lodges in gatehouse of fleet, beautiful views whatever the weather, very comfortable and it feels like a home from home, absolutely love that you have decided on a pet free option for those of us with allergies, thank you very much 😃 Lindsey and Alan x

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 at Ocean Drive, the property is absolutely faultless and the host could not be more customer friendly. We have booked again for 2027 during our time here. EV charging facility on site is very easy to use and lower cost than those in nearby towns.

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.

We had such a lovely stay at Miller's Hill lodge, it has a beautiful interior with stunning views! Very quiet and peaceful, but very close to Gatehouse. The lodge is really spacious but the bedrooms are super cosy. Would love to stay again!

Another great stay at Gatehouse this time in the newest lodge - Millers Hill.
The wet weather didn't spoil our enjoyment- always a warm comfortable place to come back to.
The wood burner was a real bonus.
Well equipped - the air fryer a great addition.
Great communication from James all through our stay - thank you.
Im sure we'll be back.

Had an amazing break at Silver Birch lodge. The lodge is stunning 5 star accommodation. The view is gorgeous. Great hosts keeping us up to date on everything about our stay. Will definitely be back soon and will recommend to family & friend. Thank you for the lovely box of goodies

Wonderful week in Millers Hill Lodge. Everything catered for from Booking to leaving with superb accommodation in a great location!

absolutely gorgeous well equipped, modern,clean and comfortable lodges, the most spectacular view especially at sunset.
lovely just to sit and watch the wildlife.
will return in summer when we can sit on the decking and enjoy the longer hours.
a great area to explore, lots to do and great hospitality everywhere.

We had an amazing Christmas week in a stunning location. The lodge was spotless and cosy and we had everything that we needed. James was always on hand for any questions and queries. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Beautiful views even on the rainy days

Wonderful lodge,so cosy,enjoyed it week very much

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

I can definitely recommend these lodges they are in a great location with incredible views over the bay. We stayed in the dog friendly two bedroom Silver Birch . They are furnished to a very high standard , very comfortable and spacious , spotlessly clean. You can even sit and watch the Red Kites soaring past from the sofa!
Would definitely return.

We had a brilliant few days staying at Ocean Drive at Gatehouse Luxury Lodges. The location was great, the view from the lodge was breathtaking we enjoyed watching the Red Kites and other wildlife right on the doorstep. The lodge itself had everything that you could need for a break away and it was spotlessly clean and the fact that it was dog friendly was great. The local area boasts a wide range of restaurants and cafes and was great fun exploring. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the lodge and the area to anyone.

We stayed at Cairn Dyke Luxury Lodge for the weekend to celebrate a 50th birthday, and it was the perfect place to do just that! The lodge was outstanding — beautifully presented, spotless, and equipped with everything we needed. The views were absolutely fabulous, and it was such a peaceful and relaxing setting to catch up with friends.

The kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy meals together. On the Saturday, we booked a taxi into Gatehouse of Fleet — the service was great both ways (we’ve left the taxi number in the visitors book for future guests!). I unfortunately left an item behind, but the hosts were incredibly quick to respond and had it posted back to me straight away — such thoughtful service!

The beds were super comfortable, and the whole place had a cozy, welcoming feel. I honestly couldn’t fault this lodge — it was clean, quiet, and full of lovely extra touches that made our stay really special. We’d love to come back again — highly recommend!

We stayed in Silver Birch and had a wonderful week’s holiday. The views are amazing. The lodge was clean and well equipped. We loved the open plan living area. The beds were so comfy and the bedrooms were very spacious. Would definitely return. The walk into Gatehouse of Fleet through Cally Woods was great and nice to be able to walk into town from the lodge. The Murray Arms was good for dinner and The Mill on the Fleet had the best cakes! Loved exploring Dumfries and Galloway and the people were so friendly.

This is our second visit to stay in the Galloway lodges. We stayed in Ocean Drive.
We were really impressed with the lodge and the views out are amazing, it’s such peaceful place.
We. Love the location and Gatehouse of Fleet.
We will certainly be back again next year.
