Luxurious spotlessly clean lodge with all the essentials for a comfortable stay.
Luxurious spotlessly clean lodge with all the essentials for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was ready to jump into on our arrival. Views are stunning, and we spent a lovely day exploring the Galloway Forest Park which is only a few miles from the lodge. Lots to do in and around the area. Host was welcoming and we really enjoyed our stay.

We’ve just come back from a fabulous seven nights in willow lodge… we did not want to leave! It’s beautiful, clean and cozy. Our two girls (10 and 7) loved visiting the horses daily, petting the cows in the field next to us and using the hot tub multiple times a day. It’s a lovely location, quiet and peaceful- just what we wanted and needed for our relaxing break. Night times are so dark- perfect for stargazing and looking at the moon (take binoculars or a telescope if you have them) and we also saw a beautiful sunrise each morning. We were sad to leave but we will be back again. Thank you ☺ï¸
