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.

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!

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.
