  • "The Lodge was amazing, very comfortable kitted out."

    With everything you need, including air fryer and tv s in bedrooms not to mention the huge TV with sky in the lounge area!! Lovely view of the beach and across the bay from the lodge. The site was lovely and quiet too, although it may be different at main holiday weeks as this is a huge site.

  • "The lodge was superb."

    Spacious well laid out. Comfortable and very clean. Everything provided that you would need. Lovely views over the sea . On a parkdean site, swimming pool and entertainment that you need to pay for passes .but worth doing with bad weather . Lots of beautiful forests and thing’s to do in surrounding area. most within 1/2 hr drive . Only one thing we would have liked is more information on arrival from the owner. We followed instructions from Sykes both on things to do ,and how to leave the lodge which was much appreciated

    Good size and clean. Not quite ‘on the beach’ but very close. Good location. Enjoyed it.

  • "The lodge was excellent and we’d look to stay again."

    The facilities on-site were not great and the absurd £18 each to be able to use the bar area was a complete joke. However the accommodation was excellent.

    Hi Alexander I agree the prices are pretty high at Parkdean complex I just wish I had thought to put folder in lodge with ideas of where to go etc. For that I apologise. The Mermaid on Lighthouse Leisure site offers great entertainment and reasonably priced drinks also entertainment for kids at no charge. We hope to see you back at Buds Bay. Property Owner

  • "Beautiful lodge in immaculate condition."

    Very comfortable and in a perfect position to look out towards the beach. Very well equipped with appliances making it a luxurious experience to any other caravan/lodge we had stayed at. The owner was very generous in leaving us a great welcome pack of goodies which was really appreciated when we arrived. As a family of 4, this lodge was perfect! We will definitely be booking Bud’s Bay again.

    Many thanks Heather for your lovely review. Property Owner

About the location

SOUTHERNESS

Castle Douglas 19 miles; Dalbeattie 13 miles; Dumfries 16 miles.

Southerness is a small coastal village established in the late 18th century, which looks out over the Solway Firth, and forms part of the Colvend coast, one of the finest stretches of coastline on the 'Scottish Riviera'. Home to three pubs, two village stores, and two miles of sandy beaches with sand dunes, rock pools and Gulf Stream warmed waters, and one of the oldest lighthouses in Scotland, built in 1748, it has everything you will need for a relaxing holiday. The nearby Criffel Hill rises to 569m, offers wonderful views of the farmland and the sands of the Nith Estuary below, and provides great walking opportunities. The Southerness Championship Golf Course adjoins the village and offers panoramic views of the Solway Firth, the Cumbrian Lake District to the south and the Galloway Hills to the west. A great location, with something to keep everybody occupied.
