    Hot tub didn't seem to be fully working but was still nice. No shop and pub didn't open till Wednesday, but a great little break. No mirror in bedroom but there was in the end suite.

    Nice lodge with everything U need. Clean and tidy. Modern. Large parking space. A get away from it all break. Lovely meal at the steam boat. Beautiful views. Lovely shower.

    Lovely lodge & hot tub, relaxing break by the sea

    No suggestions for improvement, as long as you're looking for a quiet relaxing break away from it all this is an ideal place to spend a few days.

    Peaceful lodge in beautiful surroundings, right next to the beach. The lodge is well decorated and furnished. The hot tub was amazing, very large, private and clean. The host Susan lives in the house behind the lodge, she was very friendly, happy to chat and suggest places to go. The summer house is at the opposite side of Susan's house, right on the beach - also a very lovely place to spend time. The lodge itself is located in Susan's garden (clearly divided from the house however with the hot tub in-between), the front of the lodge looks over the field in the opposite direction from the beach. We had a lovely meal at the Steamboat pub, very friendly staff there too. Ideal location if you want to get away from it all or explore that part of Scotland. We brought a car however I did notice a bus service running from the property into Dumfries.

    Nothing really to dislike tbh. My only comment really would be that it hadn’t had a thorough clean. There were cobwebs everywhere and muck and dirt under the sofa and behind the bedroom bedside cabinets but it didn’t make any difference to our stay - we thoroughly enjoyed it and will hopefully return in the summer months

    Great location. So peaceful.

    Would have been really nice to have had a washing machine.

    I booked this for the family so that they were in the same village as their Grandpa so they could see him but not exhaust him. It was absolutely brilliant. We'll probably do this again. The hot tub was a major bonus. I didn't book it because of the hot tub, but it added so much to the stay.

    Nothing - it was perfect

    The lodge was beautifully furnished and very clean. It had everything you needed for your stay. The private hot tub was a bonus as was the summer house looking out onto the Solway Firth. It was very relaxing sitting either outside or inside the summer house just gazing out at the water. Most important of all was that it was dog friendly and my little dog loved it. The Steamboat Inn just 5 minutes walk from the lodge served lovely food and was also dog friendly which was ideal as we didn't have to drive to find somewhere for food.

    One down side, I didn't want to drink coffee for start , because the kettle put me off. The inside was limescaled so I had to clean it myself with vinegar to be able to use it.

    Fantastic location, very peaceful around the nature. (Birds,cows). Also, we had a great weather . Definitely the place is worth to remember and return . Hot tube was great addition to the lodge.
