Much more than your standard lodge.Great for animal lovers Cat the owner was really friendly and helpful, lodge was comfortable and well equipped and really well priced.TV had Netflix and amazon and there was good WiFi. It was great to meet all the rescue animals and hear their stories, we travelled with a 7 year old and she loved it, Cat even let her help bottle feed the lambs which she loved.def hope to return in the future Only slight downside was the access road was quite difficult if your car doesn't have much ground clearance.my car is quite low to the ground and had to crawl down the hill.owner recognised this and is trying to address it
The place is a great spot to get away from everything a few miles from the nearest town. The lodge was lovely and warm and the hot tub was one of the best I’ve been in. Cat was welcoming and hospitable throughout and we even got to feed the sheep on the farm which was a nice addition! Would absolutely recommend as a getaway for couples or a larger group for a weekend away.
This place exceeded my expectations. So beautiful and peaceful! Me and my other half are big animal lovers and being greeted by the dogs in the morning made the trip and more! Beautiful scenery and a very cosy lodge. Cat was great and responded so quickly to texts and gave us such good advice on walks and where to get supplies. The welcome pack had loads of information on all the animals on the farm which is such a good read. Loved watching the horses, sheep and donkeys play about in the fields. Hot tub was sublime and the lodge was so clean (which was even more needed due to covid) hand sanitiser was placed on gates all over the farm and had cleaning supplies and a list of instructions to follow to keep everyone safe! Cat and Ellie were amazing hosts. So approachable and very hard working. Loved this place will 100% be back
Wonderful
Loved our stay with Cat. Even with the uncertain times around Coronavirus she made sure we had everything we needed. The lodge was a perfect escape for us!
Due to storm Ciara, we were largely cabin bound, but due to the comfort and cosiness of the cabin & the lovely surroundings, it didn't spoil our stay! Despite the weather, we got to meet all the animals as I was kindly taken into the barn to meet them as they sheltered. The farm itself is lovely & the three dogs are always around to make sure you are well catered for! Cat made sure we had everything we needed while we rode out the weather & Ellie provided some top 'stubborn donkey' entertainment for us out in the back field :D We had a lovely visit, despite the weather's attempt to thwart it! Thanks to Cat & Ellie and all of the animals.
A lovely welcoming host, peaceful location with wonderful wildlife & the accommodation was perfect for the four of us ? - A return visit is a must xx
Loved my stay here over the new year , was brilliant to meet cat & all the animals! Was so peaceful and never had any problems hopefully get to return in the near future
Cat is a wonderful hostess. The lodge is next to her farm, both of which are hidden away in a beautiful valley but very close to a main A road. The lodge is modern and fully equipped for 3 doubles with dining and lounge areas. Ideal for exploring Burns Country as a family
Very relaxing lovely and clean, everything we needed was there. However if you don't like horses, dogs, ducks and donkeys then it is not the place to go. We absolutely loved it.
If you are looking for a relaxing stay this is the place for you. Top class lodge and top class location. Cat is lovely and makes you feel right at home. Definitely will be back.
Very comfortable and well equipped cottage. Lovely host, good comunication in advance and nice chatts during our stay. Nice area to stay.
Fantastic setting, so welcoming, great facilities
stayed her for 2 nights and it was amazing, cat is lovely and very helpful the cabin has beautiful panoramic views of the farm land and a lovely dream that runs by it with a lovely walk to the river. the cabin is also very clean and tidy with a lovely terrace to sit on in the sun. we loved it beautiful place ??
The holding is very great, clean and with all necessities !Cat is very kind and helpful. Wonderful place as well.
A delightful little lodge in a quiet location, the beds are comfy, it's very clean and Cat is a great host. Her communication was excellent and she was very welcoming, introducing us to her rescue dogs and horses. We rented this place for a family wedding at Lochside House hotel and the lodge exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend staying here.
The Lodge was the perfect 'hideaway' location.....just the sound of the 'burn' & birdsong! The accommodation was well equipped & spotlessly clean. Great birdlife......40 species recorded, including Spotted Flycatcher & Willow Warbler (lots of them) - The location is ideally situated for The Mennock Pass (A must visit) & the coast is only about an hour away! We plan a return visit asap!
The lodge is comfortable and in a quiet location. There's a nice stretch of river, which looked promising for fishing. We didn't try it, but did see two otters. There are some good places to visit locally (Dumfries House and Blackstone Clydesdales were the highlights for us) and the coast isn't far away. Cat was very friendly and welcoming (as were the dogs!). We'd certainly go back and thought it was excellent value. Nigel & Jane
The accommodation was lovely, very clean with lots of added extras to make your stay comfy. The children loved the animals and Cat was very patient taking the time to chat with them. The surrounding areas are beautiful and it’s definitely value for money and worth a visit.
Would recommend to everyone... lovely place with a very gentle and humble owner.
