Holly Lodge At Bengairn Reviews

Andrea
Stunning lodges in a beautiful location, we were only gutted we had to leave. Definitely recommend staying at Baingairn Lodges (if you can manage to find a week I haven't booked ). It's just so peaceful and relaxing, and the owners are lovely. We can't wait to stay again.
Paula
Absolutely perfect
Joanne
A beautifully furnished lodge in a stunning location made for the most relaxing holiday ! Super comfy beds and views of the loch from the bedrooms felt like real luxury . The welcome pack which included essentials like milk plus some local chocolate treats and other goodies was a lovely touch . The owners of the property were incredibly helpful and friendly giving suggestions of places to visit and dine at as well as taking us on a fantastic tour of their farm. We couldnt have asked for more !
Alison
Beautiful lodge in lovely, peaceful setting. Great care has been taken to ensure all fixtures and fittings are of a high standard. The owners are friendly and welcoming. A welcome basket is provided for you on arrival with some delicious treats and there are even fresh roses in a vase. Top notch accommodation!
Helen
Beautiful setting and lodge was everything you could want for a week away. Loved waking up to view of the loch, very peaceful and spent many hours outside looking at the view. Good location and lots of lovely coastal walks. Robin and Fiona were great hosts. Would highly recommend and hope to visit again in the future
Richard
We had the most relaxing and tranquil holiday located on a beautiful small loch teeming with wildlife from deer to swans, and with great views. The lodge was spacious, equipped to a very high standard with luxurious fixtures and fittings and positioned so you were not overlooked by the other three lodges. The owners Robin and Fiona are a lovely hel pful couple, unobtrusive yet always willing to chat.
Wendy
Beautiful decorated and equipped lodge situated next to a lock, a welcome box of local produce greeted us. Ideal for watching the many species of wildlife. Unique as there are only four lodges and therefore very peaceful. A hidden gem in a area of outstanding natural beauty, previously undiscovered by us. Will definitely revisit.
Joyce
Holly Lodge is beautifully appointed and everything is there for your comfort. It is in a wonderful location right by the loch with wonderful views and a great base for exploring Dumfries and Galloway.
Nancy
The accommodation is perfect as it is.
Isabella
Perfectly equipped lodge in beautiful surroundings! Bengairn is a magical place from the sunsets to watching the wildlife. We can not fault our safe, everything is spotless on arrival and the lodge is well maintained. This was our second visit and we have already booked for next year. Thank you Fiona and Robin!
Barry

Wonderful location, truly idyllic in terms of view and so peaceful. Accommodation standard excellent, you'll miss nothing and the tub after a hard day's walking very welcome. Excellent base to strike out either on foot or by car to take in the surrounding countryside and villages.

Irene
Fantastic lodge everything you would need and the owners are really great people and always up for a chat
Philip
The moment we saw the sun glistening off the loch as we turned down the drive we knew we were in for a treat! What a beautiful stunning setting. When we stepped into the lodge and saw the tasteful well thought out decor we were not disappointed. Everything was to the highest standard, from the fluffy Egyptian towels to the luxurious soft furnishing s. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you could possibly need. A wonderful welcome pack was the icing on the cake. Five star experience!
Lisa
This property is all it advertises and more. Robin and Fiona are the most considerate of owners and are happy to do anything for you to make your stay as good as it can be. Just something to be aware of if you like eating out, is that everything is a reasonable drive away. That said it didnt affect our holiday as everywhere we ate was lovely.
Valerie
A beautiful place to stay. We had been searching for somewhere to holiday in this area for almost 10 years after our favourite B and B closed. A great deal,of thought has gone into the interior , beds are so comfortable, welcome tray so appreciated and perfect location in which to watch wildlife on and around the loch. Our hosts, Fiona and Robin , were more than friendly and helpful. Our holiday couldnt have been more enjoyable.
Geoffrey
Very well equipped lodge in a beautiful setting beside the small Glengairn loch. Excellent attention to detail with comfortable beds and seating in the lounge. Lovely outside patio with table and chairs, barbecue and hot tub. We had a lovely week.

James
Beautiful lodge. Stunning location. Owners particularly helpful to make stay as good as possible.
Lynne
Holly lodge provided us with more than we had expected. Fiona & Robin were wonderful hosts. The tranquil setting is enjoyable from dawn to dusk. Clear night skies for star gazing were a bonus. Walking up Bengairn on a clear day gave panoramic views. The farms collies are the friendliest I have ever met & well trained too; a treat to watch them work ing at lambing time. We would have loved to have stayed longer. Thank you for the generous welcome gifts, delicious cake! Lynne& Ian
Susan
Fantastic property, excellent location and brilliant hosts. Plenty to see from the windows or patio, we saw deer, swans, ducks, geese, moorhens, and the icing on the cake, red kite. Lovely visit to the farm and were lucky enough to watch some lambs being born. Very memorable stay, owners there if needed but otherwise not intrusive. Lodge not overlo oked so very private
Frances
This was a brilliant place for a holiday- the lodge was beautifully finished and had everything you could need. The location was amazing- really fantastic views, great walks straight from the lodge and we loved watching the red kites over the loch and hills. The owners were lovely and it was clear how much time and effort goes into making this such a great place to stay.
Eddie
You will not find a better location or accommodation. Lovely owners

Couldn't imagine a more beautiful and peaceful setting for such a modern and comfortable lodge. Everything was spotless on arrival with top class facilities and all the equipment we needed. Ideally placed to tour the area with some marvellous walks within easy reach of the front door. Some lovely treats were waiting for us on arrival left by the ow ners who were very hospitable and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay and would definitely recommend this lodge. Mike and Margaret.

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.
Mabie Farm Park - DG2 8EZ

Mabie Farm Park is a firm favourite.

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.

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD

We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
