Superb holiday lodge, absolutely faultless
Louise - Jan 2025
We have stayed twice at little lodge and both times have been perfect. The lodge has everything you could possibly need, the owners and Kirsty are so helpful and on hand if you need anything. I highly recommend this accommodation, whether you are a couple or a family, it is perfect. We cant wait to return and have already been looking at dates. Thank you so much for looking after us and providing a 5 star holiday. From Louise and Sam in Yorkshire
David - Dec 2024
Little lodge is stunning. Absolute top quality and nothing has been overlooked. It is very well equipped and the fixtures and fittings are excellent. Everything was spotless and everything had been thought of. It is beautiful. Ideal location for exploring the area. The owners made us feel very welcome and even treated the kids to a selection box. Even in the bitterly cold weather we were very comfortable. Hot tub is great and well looked after. Completely remote and great for star gazing and wildlife spotting. Oh and the beds are the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Thanks for a great stay and your hospitality.
Carlie - Nov 2024

Susan - Oct 2024
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Little Lodge. Hosts were amazing especially when we had to change our date at short notice due to hospital admission. Would highly recommend this property if you want peace, relaxation and to charge your batteries. Hot tub was a bonus.

Lauren - Sep 2024
We loved our stay at Little Lodge everything was absolutely perfect and couldnt fault a thing. The lodge itself is stunning. Inside was immaculate with all facilities and furnishings looking brand new. The beds and sofas were incredibly comfortable and provided us with a brilliants night sleep each night. Outside, the surrounding are so peaceful and quiet which made for relaxing in the hot tub an amazing experience. Finally, the hosts. Mel, Nadia and Kirsty made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Treated us like friends the duration of our stay and nothing was a bother with any questions we had. Would definitely recommend Little Lodge to anyone! It was one of the best lodges we have ever stayed in. Thanks again! Ps, little Ruby visiting when we were outside just topped off our visit.
Lyndsay - Aug 2024
Gorgeous comfortable lodge in a beautiful peaceful location, ideally situated for exploring the surrounding area. Hot tub was amazing at the end of the day, wonderful friendly owners and staff, definitely recommend
Paul - Aug 2024
Very nice lodge we really enjoyed our stay here. The owners are really nice and very helpful would stay here again
David - Jul 2024
This is a lovely modern, clean, well equipped property. The host were very helpful and friendly. We are definitely looking to return. Would have been great to have been able to slow charge the car over night but alas this wasnt available we found best options for fast charging to be Stranraer about 10miles away.The property is only accessible is via about 6 miles of single track roads but these were fairly quiet during our stay in August.The coastline around here is very picturesque with some lovely spots to visit and have walk or a bite to eat.
Patricia - Jul 2024
The little lodge was a true little haven for me, my family and our dog
Andrew - Jun 2024
Little Lodge itself is immaculate and the host Mel is very welcoming. The main issues I have with the holiday experience has more to do with the access to the lodge as the road from Glenluce to the entrance is bad enough. Still, the track from the entrance to the lodge, in my opinion, is unacceptable, luckily I drive a car that sits quite high off the road so apart from the damage that could be done to my suspension it was just bearable. I would not recommend doing it with a saloontype lowtotheground car. The other issue is with being limited to where you can walk around the lodge as there seems to be conflict with the owner of the old hotel who also has gates at both sides of his property which is something I don't see as necessary.
Betty - Jun 2024
The lodge is a little gem hidden away, family and pet friendly. The noise free time was awesome! As a Fibromyalgia sufferer this was the perfect place to relax & recharge. Also, the bed was soo comfortable definitely the customer was at the heart in everything the owners did and do here. They deserve a recognition for this and have no problem on highly recommend this place to anyone . The only observation as dog owner is that the overgrown area at the back could be cleared a bit for the dogs to indulge smelling and playing in the grass. Saying this my girls were treated as guests too and thank you so much for the efforts made to make us all feel welcome! We loved the place and it was difficult to leave
Stephenie - Jun 2024
Beautiful property and amazing hosts! Had a great time and will definitely be back
Brian - May 2024
Absolutely brilliant time away here, nice & clean, spacious and very very comfortable beds & seating areas. Nice & quiet like we wanted, close by to visit lots of towns & ports & the owners where very helpful and left you to it. Would definitely go back

We also recommend a visit to Castle Douglas and the Treasure Hunt Treasure Trails. These treasure hunts are great fun for the whole family and are an entertaining way to explore a new town or village. Children will enjoy solving the clues whilst learning about the history of the area. The walking trail is suitable for wheelchair users and those with pushchairs so no one is left out of the fun.
