"Great peaceful break just what was needed. Good standard of accommodation"
"Mattress too thin, cobwebs on decking area a nightmare lets the look of the outside down"
"We had a lovely stay, the pod was super comfy and really clean. The Wi-Fi worked well, which was great, but its a shame the smart TV didnt connect - wouldve been a nice touch. The only tiny thing was some of the corners in the floor werent spotless, but honestly, it wasnt a big deal. Wed definitely return!"
"Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was comfy and peaceful, just a couple of minor issues. Thanks!"
"Our Mouswald Lodge Park review: We finally got around to visiting Mouswald Park after lockdown and it was such a lovely experience! The lodge was spotless and felt really modern, with all the essentials we needed. We spent most of our time relaxing in the hot tub - honestly, we didnt want to leave! The whole site seemed well thought out, especially with safety in mind, which was reassuring. The staff were super friendly and helpful, making everything smooth. We loved the peaceful vibe and didnt venture off the site at all. Honestly, well definitely return. Thanks for a fantastic, safe weekend away - it was exactly what we needed! Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing break."
"Really enjoyed the stay, the lodges were spotless and had everything needed."

"The lodge was spotless and spot on for our chillout week. Staff were super friendly and really helpful too. Great stay!"

"We had a fantastic time relaxing in the peaceful lodge with the hot tub!"
"Really enjoyed it, despite a few old-fashioned touches."
"Absolutely loved it, didnt want to leave!"
"We stayed at the Westl and Lodge recently and it was quite a nice find. The place was really roomy and super comfy, perfect for our group with four bedrooms and an extra sofa bed in the lounge. Parking was no trouble, with space for two cars right outside, plus plenty of privacy around the lodge. The setting is peaceful, just open fields and gentle hills in the distance - very relaxing. Just a heads up, don't expect to kick a ball around, there's not much activity space, but great for walking the dog. All in all, a lovely spot for a quiet break!"
"We recently stayed and honestly, the lodge was stunning-really top-notch! The staff made us feel so welcome and were always happy to help. The kids enjoyed the trip, though we did find a bit limited in outdoor space for playing ball or frisbee, which was a bit of a downer. Our dogs walks were restricted mostly to around the lodges since there werent many good paths nearby. Also, privacy was an issue with the lodge behind us having a direct view into our windows, which was a bit awkward. Still, overall, a decent stay!"
"We had a fantastic time! Already planning to book again next year."
"We stayed at Mouswald Lodge Park last week and honestly, it was fantastic. Were already booked to go back in May because we loved it so much. There were 8 of us and surprisingly, it never felt cramped - with two doubles and two twins, we managed to push the beds together in the twin rooms easily. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook for all of us and the dishwasher came in really handy. They supplied washing up liquid, sponges, towels and washing up tablets - which was a nice touch. Check-in and check-out were quick and smooth. Overall, a great stay and we cant wait to return!"
"Really relaxing, would recommend"
"Lovely place very clean staff very good and helpful. Could do with a small shop on site and if wanted to get even more people and make a number 1 place in Scotland could invest in a indoor pool would really get more people to stay and something to do on rainy days think it would be a good investment and maybe a bar.went to one in loo Last year and they had all that and it was one of the best sites been all in all a very good place thew things would make this a number 1 site in Scotland"
"Relaxed 4 days exactly what my family needed."
"It is peaceful place. Definitely will go again"
"The lodge is beautiful, really big and everything you need is provided (towels, dishcloth, dishwasher tablets etc). It's a 10 ou of 10.
The hot tub was perfect. Accommodates 4 people comfortably.
The site is very small with lots of trees providing welcome shade during warm days and privacy.
It's only a short drive to Dumfries if you need to stock up on food/drinks.
People with young families may prefer a more lively venue, with more things to do. It's perfect for a quiet relaxing weekend/holiday."
"Lovely place, spotlessly clean and tidy.
Sean and Linda the site supervisors are so nice and always about if you need them, will definitely be returning in the future and would highly recommend."
"Quiet peaceful holiday in a well maintained setting. Kids loved the hot tub. Plenty to do in the surrounding area. Would definitely go back."

"Love it here be back next year for sure ?"
"Really enjoyed our time here, lodge has everything you need and the park is so peaceful"
