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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

Excellent, well equipped lodge.
A very clean and well equipped lodge, exactly as advertised. A good location for access to the Solway Coast; New Abbey is only 5 miles away. Convenient for Mabie and Dalbeattie forests and very quick access to other Dumfries and Galloway attractions.

Nice Spacious lodge lovely rustic garden
Louise's Lodge was lovely, spacious and has everything you could possibly need for a holiday. The garden is just gorgeous like a little private patch of wild moorland. We loved the forest walks and mountain biking in Dalbeattie just a 15min drive away. Our only negative was the lodge complex has no recycling facilities, everything is to go to landfill which to us in unacceptable in this day. There is only glass and cans at morrisons car park which is a 15min drive into Dumfries. After asking for help on social media we discovered a recycling centre in Dalbeattie which could take all our plastics, card & paper. We really feel this should be looked into for any future guests. We travel alot and have not come across this for years now. In the meantime clear instructions where to take recyclables would be helpful.
