Amazing!
Wow what a find! This property is wonderful, it really is a bargain price compared to others, perfect location with so much to do in the surrounding areas. The lodge is cleaned to the highest of standards and so homely and comfortable. It had everything we needed. Prior to arrival Louise was great with her communication and on arrival everything was perfect and the guest book was so useful with loads of suggestions for things to do. We had the most wonderful holiday, definitely booking again.

Lovely relaxing stay
The lodge was in a great location for visiting all the local areas. It was comfortable, really clean & well equipped. So much nature to see just at the lodge, lots of bunnies and birds & some inquisitive cows 😊 we had a wonderful stay & would definitely stay again in the future. Also the book-in and check-in process was seamless and communication was great from the host.

Lovely lodge - perfect & peaceful
Perfect peaceful lodge with everything you need inside and out to fully enjoy the picturesque area. Very clean and tidy. The owner was quick to answer any questions we had. Just down the road from fantastic Loch Arthur farm shop and cafe in Beeswing. Plus you can walk straight up from the lodge into the Mabie forest for a quick stroll or a long hike. All on your doorstep!

Pictures do not do this justice
We had a lovely 4 days at Heron Lodge. The lodge was immaculate, lovely bathroom and super comfy beds! The kitchen had everything we needed and we felt like we had lots of space for 4 adults. The lodge was so close to lovely places to visit including Kippford and Southerness. Thank you would recommend this lodge and look forward to returning!

Our Christmas stay
Love coming to this lodge but the bedrooms were damp and the bedding we usually come in may when it is not a problem I think the beds should have been aired out if it had not been let for a while

Superb Lodge. Fully equipped and more. Loved enclosed garden for Charl.ie Did not worry about him straying and he made the most of decking. Totally ideal for short breaks to visit all the near by villages and Towns. Perfect.

Average
The good impression about the location, cleanliness etc had to be weighed against the terrible experience of having to spend 2/6 nights without being able to contact the property manager through phone or email, unable to lock the front door, unable to get proper room heating or have hot water. Overall it was a below average experience.

Wonderfull first Family Vacation
We would like to express our gratitude for the wonderful time. It was our first family vacation. We spent almost 3 weeks in the lodge, along with our 21-month-old daughter and our dog. The lodge is very clean and well-equipped. It is beautifully situated in a small, peaceful cluster of holiday homes, right on the border of fields and the forest. We were regularly greeted in the morning by cows, who would stretch their heads over the fence into the garden to welcome us. The lodge is nestled in the heart of nature, yet very well connected to the nearby town of Dumfries, offering a fantastic starting point for a multitude of activities. The owner provides a whole basket of brochures, but it's also worth inquiring about current events at the tourist information in Dumfries. There's plenty to do for children. The Mabie Farm Park is less than 2 miles away, and our daughter absolutely loved it. Furthermore, everyone there is extremely dog-friendly, which touched us deeply and was truly heartwarming. We would be delighted to come back again and wish the owner all the best! Warm regards from Dennis, Farina, and Liandra with Labrador George.

Liked: Location
Wet & windy stay
Unfortunately the weather was pretty terrible. The area does not have a lot to do in bad weather, particularly if you have a dog with you. The lodge was nice but is quite far from anything of interest. If you had good weather and just wanted to explore the local countryside and nearby coast it would probably be great. We got full check-in info while already on holiday the previous week. It mentioned we needed to bring our own “pot towel” and towels. We had towels but not a tea towel, so we bought one before arriving. There were actually 3 in the property.

Heron lodge holiday
The cabin was clean, located in quiet, rural area, located near the town Dumfries. Good location with plenty to visit, good dog walking places and lochs, although you need to use your car. There is a fantastic organic shop close by with fresh , local products. Cabin itself is very well equipped and comfortable for 4 people. Definitely would come back.

Lovely lodge in a great location
The lodge is located in a really quiet location, surrounded by fields but only a short drive from Dumfries. The lodge is so well equipped - absolutely everything you could possibly need. Great communication with the owner before and during our stay. Would definitely recommend and hope to come back soon.
