Laird Lodge 1 Reviews

Hannah
We loved our stay at Laird Lodges, Angie couldnt have been more accommodating, she came to say hello and chat to us several times and even made a fabulous recommendation for a local restaurant for us to eat at on our wedding anniversary. The dogs were a bonus coming to say hi too, they were lovely! The lodges are beautiful, comfortable, have everything you need and the hot tub is perfect. Beautiful view, beautiful location that forces you to just relax and have a lovely time. We will definitely be back!
Autumn
Pictures really don't show how pretty amazing and breathtakingly beautiful these lodges are until your stood there, tiny details left made it that bit more lovely, owner very down to earth and popped in to let us know about the app that showed scenery walks into town. would 100 stay again!
Louise
We stayed in lodge 1 and we absolutely loved it. The pods are exactly as described and what you see on the photos. Its so lovely to look out at the view as its beautiful. The hosts are so lovely, they dont invade your privacy and when they do come into contact with you their really approachable and friendly. Its a lovely peaceful place to stay.
Being on a working farm never bothered us at all. Owners provided plenty of local information on walks, bars and of course ice cream shop. Plenty of peace and quiet and views to die for.
Stuart
Lovely place to stay and base yourself.
Excellent accommodation would highly recommend. Everything was well thought through.
Victoria
First time staying in a pod and what a way to start it off. Laird Lodges have set the bar extremely high for any other pod stays for me. We had the most relaxing stay and all because of how good this pod was. An amazing amount of space the pictures dont do it justice. so clean and tidy when we arrived. The bed was extremely comfy. we had the best nights sleep ever. Kitchen had everything we needed for a 2 night stay. Shower pressure was superb. And the hot tub
Amazing stay lovely lodge. Warm and cosy to arrive to with some goodies in the fridge. Thank you so much. We loved the views and hottub. We will be back very soon. Excellent location too!
Steven
Firstly. will definitely be back Hot tub in the snow was an experience Great shower Clean and cosy with a comfortable bed And finished the week with massage booked for my partner. Friendly team. Highly recommend the lodges. Nice location quiet and clean well maintained rooms.
Almudena
Both I and my partner really loved staying at the lodge. It was so cozy, clean, and comfortable. The host was so attentive, and friendly and made us feel at home. I loved all of the small details they had added to the pod. There was a speaker for music, bathrobes, and slippers for the hot tub, and even a small bottle of fizz, cheese, crackers, and chocolate! You can see a lot of time, love, and energy had been put into these pods! Highly recommend!
We absolutely loved it. We were looking for a quiet getaway for a few days and this was perfect the lodge had everything we needed and the surroundings were beautiful. The private hot tub was brilliant we were in it every day. The owner, Angela, was lovely and made sure everything was right for us. When our microwave door wouldn't open one evening, Angela turned up the next morning with a NEW microwave! We really did feel well taken care of in every way. We will DEFINITELY be returning!
Kayleigh
Had a fab time at laird lodges. Lovely quaint pods but have everything you need and very comfortable.
We had an amazing stay, the lodges have everything you need for a relaxing few nights away. Hot tub fantastic and with it being under shelter usable in all weathers. Lovely little touches around the lodge given it was Halloween. Beautifully arranged. Will definitely visit again.
Really enjoyed our stay and loved it was on a working farm and not just on a campsite. The views were amazing and the pod was even better than we thought it would be. The whole experience lived up to what we were expecting and more. The hot tub combined with the views was the icing on the cake. We met the owners who were lovely and we were made welcome from day one and would highly recommend staying here. Dave and Elaine, Blackpool.
Stewart
Excellent location with very hospitable hosts. We hope the hosts succeed with the new venture

Mabie Farm Park - DG2 8EZ
about 8 Miles
Mabie Farm Park is a firm favourite. Ideal for families with younger children ,this family oriented farm park has lots of animals to meet and also offers Donkey Rides, Paddle Boats and Slides as well as Trampolines and Bouncy Castles. Kids can run around on the Soft Play Area while mum and dad relax in the Tea Room. There is also a Farm Shop onsite selling toys, gifts and fresh local produce including cakes and jams. Seasonal activities can also be enjoyed including a spookly tea and walk on Haloween. The Farm closes for the winter on October 31st.
Castle Douglas - DG7 1TJ
about 22 Miles
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.
Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery - CA3 8TP
about 26 Miles
This is a museum and art gallery in one and will suit those looking for an educational and cultural day out.  You can explore the fantastic art collection including Fine Art, Decorative Art and Textiles.  If you love nature then this aspect of Tullie House will appeal. The museum holds large and important collections of zoological, botanical and geological material. And for lovers of history there is plenty to wet your appetite here. Tullie House collects a wide range of historic materials including objects, ephemera (printed material), photographs and associated information files.  We think this museum and art gallery are excellent value for money as well.
