  • "Lovely location and lodge very peaceful place."

    Lodge was clean and had everything you need,hot tub was great addition but could use a little tlc,would definitely stay again .

  • "Lovely cabin, great surroundings."

    Small number of properties so ideal for a quiet getaway. Ponies and rabbits aplenty. The cabin had everything to hand ( no dishwasher) and it’s only a short drive to the town for supplies. The double bed is comfortable (if you’re under 6 foot ) but being a metal frame may not be best suited for all. We enjoyed the holiday and lots of things to visit from coast to forest and wildlife watching.

  • "Thank you for a beautiful stay."

    Pro’s: location, location, location! Amazing to be right at the start of 7Stanes bike trails. Cosy vibes with plenty of amenities within the cottage was is nice. Loved the little upstairs bath - super cute! Cons: I have had to rate it slightly lower due to the cost of it compared to others we have stayed at and the fact that many things weren’t working - light switches, the electric fire. Some things weren’t very clean either, blankets on the sofa were covered in different dog hairs, (don’t mind dogs at all as we have one but most other dog friendly cottages they are cleaned) the cooker light was full of grease as well. However, the bathrooms were spotless :)

  • "The chalet was lovely and in a great location with everything we needed for our stay."

    We did have a couple of unlucky technical issues but the owner and local team were so kind and helpful and worked really hard to get those fixed for us and to make sure we had a great holiday - they really went above and beyond and we hugely appreciated it. We had a lovely holiday and would definitely come back! We especially liked having the peace and quiet and lots of walks on our doorstep.

    Hi Nina, That's very kind feedback, especially given some of the challenges that we had during your stay. Your understanding and patience was appreciated and I am glad that you felt we went above and beyond. Its very important to give our guests an exceptional customer experience even when things don't go to plan. You and your mum are most welcome back anytime. We appreciate your kind, honest review.

    Thank you for your very good review John. I am sorry that you found the hot tub old. It's only 2 and a half years old and was purchased brand new. Unfortunately some guests haven't treated the lid and some of the jet buttons with care. Other than that I'm glad that you had a good stay with us. Property Owner

  • "This lodge is a real gem, cosy and warm when we stayed in February with luxurious touches like robes and slippers."

    It's in a great location, next to the beautiful Dalbeattie Forest and only 5 minutes by car to town with everything you need, a small supermarket, tea rooms, takeaways and a weird and wonderful museum. 10 minutes to the beach and Galloway Forest Park is easily reached by car. My boys loved bubbling in the hot tub looking at the stars. We had the perfect holiday and would 100 % return to stay in this lovely, well equipped lodge

    The lodge is in a lovely peaceful location with Dalbeattie Forest on the doorstep, and just a short drive to other stunning places for walks on beaches and in the woods. The lodge itself was warm and very comfortable, and had everything that we needed for our stay. We particularly appreciated the little luxuries like the soft fluffy bath towels, robe & slippers. The towels & bed linen smelled lovely and fresh, and the beds were very comfortable. The hot tub was a huge bonus! We would absolutely recommend this lodge and would love to return here.

    Thank you very much for your comments, particularly on the little "luxury" touches that our property management company offer to our guests.

DALBEATTIE

The attractive country town of Dalbeattie is nestled in the south west of Scotland. The town sits within a wooded valley on the River Urr and provides access to the picturesque Solway Coast with its miles of beaches and pretty fishing villages. Dalbeattie is originally known for its granite quarry, which exported stone all over the world, most notably for the Eddystone Lighthouse and Thames Embankment. Today it is renowned for its outdoor activities with the world famous 7stanes mountain biking complex nearby as well as forest walks in Glentrool, where you can follow in the footsteps of Richard Hannay in The Thirty Nine Steps. Dalbeattie and the surrounding area offer panoramic views of the Solway Firth, the Lake District and the Galloway Hills. A great location, which has something for everyone.
