The choice is small but varied. You can find a compact cabin for two with a lake view, a three-bedroom lodge with a log burner, and a family place with an indoor pool. Hot tubs appear in most of the examples, including some of the cheaper ones. Sea views and fishing are rarer and sit at the top of the price range. A week costs only a little more in winter than outside it, so the season changes the bill less than the size of the place does.

Heron Lodge sits at the edge of Mabie Forest, just outside Dumfries in Dumfries and Galloway.
Dumfries sits on the Solway side of south-west Scotland, and the lodges around it suit couples and small families more than big groups. Most places sleep three or four, with two bedrooms, and nearly all have a garden. A few sleep six, and the largest takes nine guests across four bedrooms.
Prices spread widely. The cheapest nights are for two people in a one-bedroom cabin, often with a hot tub, while a sea view or fishing on site pushes a night well above the usual level. Just under half of the places have a hot tub, and a little over half have a log burner. Pets are accepted at roughly a third of them, so dog owners need to filter early. Guests rate the stays very highly, at 9.6 out of 10.
Almost every place has a garden, so it tells you little when you compare. Log burners are in just over half of the places, and those places are usually dearer than the rest. Hot tubs are in nearly half and tend to sit below the log burner group on price. High chairs and BBQs are found at a third or so, which helps if you are travelling with young children. Fishing, a spa bath and a swimming pool are each rare, with only a handful of places or just one. Fishing places are the dearest of all.
| Feature | Places | Share | Usual night |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garden | 18 | 95% | £258 |
| Log burner / fireplace | 10 | 53% | £338 |
| Hot tub | 9 | 47% | £197 |
| High chair | 7 | 37% | £188 |
| BBQ | 6 | 32% | £219 |
| Fishing | 3 | 16% | £409 |
| Spa bath | 1 | 5% | £180 |
| Swimming pool | 1 | 5% | £197 |
Cabins for two are the cheapest in total, but they cost the most per person. Places sleeping three or four make up most of the choice and usually have two bedrooms. Moving up to five or six guests and three bedrooms raises the nightly price noticeably, yet the cost per person falls again. If you can fill the beds, a larger lodge is the better value. For a couple, the gap to a four-person place is smaller than you might expect, so a second bedroom can be worth a look.
| Sleeps | Places | Bedrooms | Usual night | Per guest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sleeps 2 | 3 | 1 | £145 | £72 |
| Sleeps 3-4 | 11 | 2 | £245 | £61 |
| Sleeps 5-6 | 4 | 3 | £334 | £56 |
Nights are dearest in February and March, when the usual price is at its highest for the winter and early spring. April is clearly cheaper, and December is the lowest of the months shown. November and January sit in between. Availability is tighter in November, December and April, and looser from January to March, with around two thirds of dates still free. For a last-minute break, late winter has the most open dates, though April offers a lower price.
| Month | Usual night | Nights still free |
|---|---|---|
| November 2026 | £258 | 58% |
| December 2026 | £248 | 56% |
| January 2027 | £263 | 65% |
| February 2027 | £277 | 67% |
| March 2027 | £282 | 67% |
| April 2027 | £226 | 58% |
Several nearby places have their own choice of lodges. Lockerbie has the most places, with ten, and Dalbeattie follows with nine. Mainsriddle and Kippford each have eight. Mainsriddle has the lowest starting price of the group, while Carsethorn starts highest, with only five places. Annan is small but starts cheaply. Looking at these towns widens your choice of dates and budgets, and the coast at Kippford and Carsethorn gives a different setting from the inland sites.
Not necessarily. Hot tub places have a lower usual price than those with a log burner, and some of the cheapest examples include one. Size and views have a bigger effect on price than the tub does.
Just over half of the places have one. They are more common in the larger and dearer lodges. If you want a fire in winter, check the listing, as it is not guaranteed.
Of the months ahead, April is clearly cheaper than February or March. December is also lower than the other winter months. Late winter has the highest nightly prices.
Yes, if you fill it. The cost per person falls as the group size rises, from cabins for two to lodges sleeping five or six. A cabin for two is the cheapest in total but dearest per head.
