We had a brilliant few days staying at Ocean Drive at Gatehouse Luxury Lodges. The location was great, the view from the lodge was breathtaking we enjoyed watching the Red Kites and other wildlife right on the doorstep. The lodge itself had everything that you could need for a break away and it was spotlessly clean and the fact that it was dog friendly was great. The local area boasts a wide range of restaurants and cafes and was great fun exploring. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the lodge and the area to anyone.
To quote Mary Poppins, our stay has been “practically perfect in every way”. The lodge and environment are the perfect place to relax, refresh and rejuvenate. Beautiful walks in the local woods straight through into Gatehouse of Fleet. The dogs have given a score of 11/10 and we are unable to disagree. A shout out for some of the local businesses and the fish from Kirkubright caught overnight was the best cod I have ever eaten. Highly recommended.
absolutely gorgeous well equipped, modern,clean and comfortable lodges, the most spectacular view especially at sunset. lovely just to sit and watch the wildlife. will return in summer when we can sit on the decking and enjoy the longer hours. a great area to explore, lots to do and great hospitality everywhere.
Had an amazing break at Silver Birch lodge. The lodge is stunning 5 star accommodation. The view is gorgeous. Great hosts keeping us up to date on everything about our stay. Will definitely be back soon and will recommend to family & friend. Thank you for the lovely box of goodies
We had such a lovely stay at Miller's Hill lodge, it has a beautiful interior with stunning views! Very quiet and peaceful, but very close to Gatehouse. The lodge is really spacious but the bedrooms are super cosy. Would love to stay again!
We stayed in the Ocean Drive Lodge. The lodge itself is beautifully designed — modern, spacious, and immaculately clean. The open-plan living area with the huge windows is a real highlight; waking up to those uninterrupted views over the bay and countryside was just incredible. Everything inside the lodge felt high quality and well thought out. The kitchen was fully equipped, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the under-floor heating made it cosy no matter the weather. It felt like a real home from home, but with that extra touch of luxury. We were especially impressed by how truly dog-friendly Ocean Drive Lodge is. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that dogs are genuinely welcome — not just allowed. There was plenty of space inside the lodge for our dog to relax comfortably, and the surrounding area is perfect for dog walks. The variety of nearby routes, stunning scenery, and peaceful setting made it an ideal place to bring our dog without any stress especially as she is incredibly anxious. Overall, Ocean Drive Lodge exceeded our expectations. It’s the kind of place you leave already planning your return. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a high-end, tranquil getaway with stunning views — especially if you’re bringing your dog along.
We stayed in Silver Birch and had a wonderful week’s holiday. The views are amazing. The lodge was clean and well equipped. We loved the open plan living area. The beds were so comfy and the bedrooms were very spacious. Would definitely return. The walk into Gatehouse of Fleet through Cally Woods was great and nice to be able to walk into town from the lodge. The Murray Arms was good for dinner and The Mill on the Fleet had the best cakes! Loved exploring Dumfries and Galloway and the people were so friendly.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 We stayed in the Silver Birch dog-friendly lodge and absolutely loved it! The super king bed was incredibly comfortable, making for a great night’s sleep. The lodge itself was spotlessly clean, cozy, and had everything you could possibly need. The kitchen was well-equipped with excellent appliances, which made cooking a breeze. The views are exceptional—on a clear day, you can see the Isle of Man and stunning sea views right from the lodge. The location is perfect for exploring the area, yet it’s wonderfully peaceful and relaxing when you just want to unwind. Highly recommend this lodge for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and breathtaking views.
