    If you want to get away from everyday life this is the place to be .So quiet and tranquil yet ideally placed for travelling around nearby towns. Great views when the sky is clear hot tub is under cover so can still be used if raining. Super comfy bed lodge is full of home comforts topped off with prosecco,cheese n crackers as a little add on. Also your own bq at the lodge to. Everything you can ask for .

    Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us. xx Property Owner

  • "Fantastic location, beautiful pod with everything we needed."

    We made good friends with the cows and even managed one evening by the fire pit on the hill. We ordered the breakfast pack and that was excellent, and we loved Mossybank which was the recommended beach. We’re already thinking how we could come back with family/friends and book out a few pods in one visit.

    Thank you for choosing to stay with us. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. x Property Owner

  • "Fantastic 5 nights stay at the gorgeous Laird Lodges."

    The views from the lodge are breathtaking. The lodge had everything we needed and the hosts left us some extra gifts - biscuits, cheese, Prosecco which was a lovely touch. Hot tub was the highlight of our stay. The Scottish weather is very unpredictable, however as the hot tub is undercover it doesn’t matter if it’s raining/windy. Would highly recommend these lodges and would not hesitate to return for another relaxing break.

  • "WOW! from the moment we arrived and locked eyes on that view we were smitten."

    The lodges are ultra modern super cosy and the beds are so comfortable. Every detail is really well thought out from the super soft luxurious robes to the little touches for valentine's day and not to mention all the welcome essentials in the fridge. Angela is an amazing host, popping round to offer us a warm welcome on our 1st night in the pouring rain. She helped us with any questions and went above and beyond what we would expect including daily morning checks of the hot tub to make sure everything was ok but without being at all intrusive. The hot tub itself out of the 4 we've tried at other hot tub lodges, this one by far the best! Temperature, pressure, positioning of the jets and not to mention.............that view!!!!!! The shower is also absolutely amazing. We can't wait to go back. Thanks again, Andrew & Victoria xx

    If I could rate customer reviews this would be 10/10. Thank you so much for your lovely words. We look forward to seeing you both again soon. Property Owner

  • "We absolutely loved our stay at Laird Lodges, Sunday 11th June for 5 nights, the weather was absolutely roasting, the lodge was ideal with everything you could possibly need at hand, the bed was comfy."

    The welcome pack was probably the best we have ever had, especially after driving you could make a quick cuppa. The fluffy dressing gowns and slippers were comfy. The views from the deck are amazing both day/night, sitting out watching and listening to the animals and watching the sunset was brilliant. The hot tub was brilliant sitting back and relaxing, just looking at the views, the owners Angie and Andy were brilliant hosts with great local knowledge, about the location of the farm between Lochmaben, Lockerbie, Dumfries, which means there is lots of stuff to see and do all within driving reach, the app was very useful. We would definitely 100% recommend Laird Lodges to family and friends and 100% guarantee we will be returning in the near future, thank you Angie and Andy for having us xx

  • "We arrived at No."

    5 Laird Lodge late Friday evening, feeling a little skeptical…but as soon as we walked into the pod it was lovely, a very compact area, with everything we needed and more! The hot tub was wonderful & the views were amazing! We stayed for 7 nights and unfortunately on the 6th night our hot tub went faulty and couldn’t be used again but the owners (Angie) were fab and let us use the next door pod’s tub which was vacant! What to do…we went to Glasgow, Castle Douglas, Lockerbie, Dumfries, Annan, Gretna which was really lovely, Loch Arthur and Southerness Beech, Eskrigg nature reserve and also Castle Loch nature reserve. We also did a walk behind Laird Lodge up to the areas, Trig point - definitely worth the walk. (Ask Angie for directions). Food… The Crown hotel which was up the road was lovely - a fab Sunday lunch. Cavens arms in Dumfries was a good lunch. Deep fried Mars bars from the Blue Lagoon chip shop in Glasgow were delicious followed by an amazing Thai meal at Chaophraya also in Glasgow. Kilnford farm shop is wonderful, roast beef sandwich was delicious and also we took home some of their Galloway fillet steaks to cook the following night - scrumptious. And lastly Casa Mia in Dumfries was such a lovely night, well worth a visit. The weather was a little soggy at times but the autumnal colours made up for it. I would strongly recommend a stay at Laird Lodges we had a very peaceful, restful romantic 7 days away there. Thank you Angie and family for your warmth and welcoming manner.

    A well needed disconnect from world to kick back and recharge. The place was spotless and the view was unbelievable. The hot tub was amazing too.

  • "Booked 7 nights in Laird Lodge 5."

    Everything was completely perfect, the lodge itself was done to such a high standard with everything you need, the owners were also very reactive if there was anything needed, the couple in the lodge next to us messaged them for a gas lighter for the BBQ and someone was up within 5 minutes. The location is stunning with views straight out from the lodges. The guidebook the owners send you about all the local shops and places to visit was a massive help and the ice cream shop is an absolute must. There was also a book in the lodges with local walks and a magazine with local information/places to visit. If you're after a relaxing week away this is the winner, could not fault a single thing. Wouldn't hesitate to book to go back.
