  • "It was a lovely property."

    Clean, comfortable and very well-equipped. The thoughtful welcome gifts were certainly well appreciated. The only issue we had was with the downstairs tv...we found it difficult to turn on and off with the remote. Overall , we had an amazing stay and would certainly book it again in the future!

    Thank you for the lovely feedback. And thanks for letting us know about the TV remote control we look into what the problem is. Property Owner

  • "A pleasant place to stay with easy access to a nice beach."

    The site is very quiet and clean and it has a decent pub for bar meals and a few quiz nights etc. We had never stayed on a holiday park before but we will certainly consider it again after this experience. The log cabin itself was a little 'home from home' and it reminded me of skiing trips to the Alps, which was very nice.

  • "It's a lovely cottage,with everthing you could wish for, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is thinking of a holiday in dumfries and Galloway."

    My only negative is that the woodwork inside needs a bit of T L C like bathroom door not fitting properly and other small things.

    Thank you for your recommendation and positive feedback. We will have a look at the bathroom door. Property Owner

    It was like home from home. the owners have thought of everything. We had an on line shop delivered from Tesco. The setting is beautiful on a park just up the hill from the beach. Also Dalbettie woods and bike trails all within easy reach of the lodge. We will be returning to this lovely holiday lodge.
