"Perfect relaxing stay hot tub was fab ???? recommend loved feeding peacock s love our location had pond view"
"Lovely large lodge had everything we needed. Used the hot tub, only thing I would like to see is more security around the hot tub as we had two dogs who couldnt go outside on that decking as they would have jumped over the hot tub"
"Recommended to all:)) nice place"
"very clean and well equipped. the washer/dryer was a bonus."
"Our Westlands Country Park review: Overall had a great time."
"Comfortable beds and chairs and clean , due to the design it took me time to get used to the crockery and glassware being the other side of the kitchen island. Got some steps in !"
"While the lodge is beautiful and has everything you could need, the double mattress is very very soft and the pillows are very thin... we had to buy some pillows from Tescos... and ended up sleeping in the single beds.. no complaints just maybe have a look when get a chance."
"We had a lovely stay at Westlands Country Park. The location is spot on, just a quick 5-minute drive to the M74, making it super convenient. Our Stargazer lodge was modern, spacious and super comfy. The hot tub was a real highlight, offering great privacy thanks to the surrounding fence. We also enjoyed both dinner and breakfast at the restaurant - the food was tasty and the staff friendly and attentive. The bar area looked really stylish too. Well definitely be back!"
"Really enjoyed our stay, definitely returning soon."
"We recently spent four nights in a Stargazer Lodge and honestly, it was fantastic. The views from the hot tub were stunning and the lodge had all the essentials. The onsite bar and restaurant felt really welcoming and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Loved the peacocks wandering around too. Well be back for sure!"
"Weve visited Westalnds a few times now and always get a warm welcome, plus the lodges are really lovely. This time we stayed in the Savannah Lodge. While it is a nice place, it wasnt quite right for us. The two-bedroom layout for four people feels quite cramped - honestly, you sit so close you could bump into each other! Also, if youre using the appliances, the smoke alarm goes off because its super sensitive, which was a bit of a pain. The location of the hot tub was a bit disappointing too - having to walk across the front of the lodge in the open isnt ideal and some of the covers were missing. On an evening, the huge street light nearby makes it floodlit, so its not as relaxing as other lodges, which had more private settings. The lodge itself is lovely, but probably better suited for fewer people or just a smaller group. Still, we love the area - the setting is fantastic and well definitely be coming back!"
"The Parkview Plus, overall, is great for a small family. Our second time staying in this lodge, although we would have preferred a bigger lodge this year (2024) due to the ages of our teenagers. Very clean and has everything you need. Beds aren't the comfiest but otherwise, a lovely lodge."
"Lovely space, feels cosy and well designed"
"Nice little place, but could use hooks."
"Comfortable, spacious and clean lodge"
"We've been coming here for five years now and booked again for May. Just wish there was a kids play park nearby, that would be great!"
"7th time in the past 5 years. Booked again for May while staying last week. Could do with a kids play park."
"We stayed here for a few days with the kids and honestly, it was brilliant. The cabin was super clean and had all the essentials. The hot tub was topped up every morning, which was a nice touch. Definitely a perfect little escape for us!"
"Really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere here"
"We stayed in the Debonair Plus and honestly, it was brilliant. The place felt huge with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area meant everyone had enough room. Perfect for our little family getaway!"
"The lodge was really tidy and nice, but you could tell its getting a bit old. It probably needs a proper upgrade or replacing soon, though. Still a decent stay!"
"Really enjoyed the stay, staff were lovely and welcoming."
"We stayed at the escape pod recently and really liked it. The place was super modern, spotless and had a cosy vibe. The hot tub was a lovely bonus, perfect for unwinding after a day out. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed for self-catering, which was handy. The shower room was lovely, with a heated towel rail and all the essentials like a hairdryer, TV, iron and ironing board. The loft had a bed and the other sleeping options-like the fold-out table bed and the sofa bed-meant we all slept comfortably. Overall, a really nice stay, wed definitely go back!"
"Really enjoyed our visit, the park was lovely and food was fantastic!"
"We celebrated our anniversary here recently and everything was lovely. The lodge was spotless and had modern decor. The staff really made us feel welcome. Absolutely would recommend and stay again!"
"Overall, we had a nice stay at the lodge. The site was well-maintained and clean and we enjoyed our time there. The only downsides were the limited glasses and oven dishes, plus not all cupboards were tidy and we found some old nails stuck on. Still, it was a pleasant experience!"
"Weve visited twice now and each time, its been a great experience. The staff are super friendly and always willing to help out. Grounds look lovely too!"
"I honestly loved the place! Its super modern and spotless and the hot tub was just fantastic. We spent ages relaxing in it, totally unwinding. Would definitely go back!"
"We booked this place for my partners 40th birthday weekend, bringing along our two kids aged 10 and 18, plus the dogs. Honestly, the site is stunning and super peaceful, perfect for a chill getaway. The lodge looked exactly like the pictures online and having a hot tub was a real bonus - our daughter loved soaking in it, even when it was raining! The place was spotless and felt so homely, we didnt want to leave. We enjoyed peaceful walks around the grounds in the mornings, dogs trotting happily alongside us. We also dined at the restaurant twice - breakfast and Sunday lunch - and both meals were fantastic. I asked Susan if she could help us decorate the lodge as a surprise and she was so helpful, even organising a cake with the chef. Massive thanks to her for going above and beyond with the customer service! Oh and dont miss the milkshakes from the Katie Coos shed - theyre a real treat! Well definitely be coming back."
"Really enjoyed it, will return"
"We absolutely loved our stay, beautiful surroundings and not too far from day trips out.
Restaurant was equally lovely and the food was amazing!
Staff were really friendly and helpful, already looking at a break for next year ?"
"Just returned from a lovely holiday at westlands country park. The park was lovely, slightly rough around the edges but this is to be expected with a new park. We stayed in a stargazer lodge at the end of the park which was serene, the hot tub was spotless and the lodge itself was lovely. (Did find a few areas that weren't as clean as I'd have liked, but nothing a quick wipe down couldn't sort!) If you're over 6ft though i would advise that the lodge could be a bit squishy especially if you plan on using the loft room. The tv is a smart TV but has no smart features as its unable to connect to any WiFi even though there is WiFi across the park.
The park is totally dog friendly which was a winner for us, however the balcony doesn't have a side wall where the hot tub is so my dog did do a runner and escaped so bring something to tie your dog to if they can't be trusted! The shooting range operates from about 9am to 5pm and boasts a lovely walk round the park, however if you have dogs that fear loud noises this is NOT the place for you.
Tesco in Annan is a 5 minute drive away, and on arrival you are given a promo code for a local shop which delivers right to your pod which is amazing! The restaurant is lovely and reasonably priced, and there is a small shop within the building selling a few cooled items like drinks and 'fridge food'.
If you are staying with a dog I'd highly recommend driving down to powfoot beach, park on the green in the village and walk down to the sandpiper cafe for a drink and then walk back, on a sunny day it is beautiful."
"Can’t fault this place you get what you see in pictures the place is immaculate lodges spotless and have everything you need . It was a bonus having the washing machine , dogs loved the walks around the park and their welcome pack was a special touch we loved the peace and quiet . The park doesn’t have anything for kids or night time entertainment but that was fine for us but if you have small kids it’s not for them . We loved it so relaxing ."
"The park was lovely, clean and tidy surroundings and well maintained. Good location for travelling to a variety of places."
"Thourghly enjoyed our long weekend break, The lodge was lovely and clean and bonus with hot tub. We booked the clay pigeon shooting prior to our stay for the Suday and we both enjoyed the experience, just wish it was longer than half an hour but still recommend the experience. Overall the place was nice and I found staff friendly enough. We bought a milk shake from Katie's Cow vending machine on site, which was delish ?
We found local village Eastriggs to be ideal for walking our dog as it was only 5 mins away and there were a few good waking paths."
"Great location, remote while 10 mins from supermarket and restaurants etc. great shooting experience. Escape pods with hottub are amazing and have everything you need. On site Restaurant is lovely and value for money."
"Everything you need in the lodges."
"Absolutely brilliant lodge,, very clean and immaculate. Little extras are a bonus, dog box, kitchen box. Hot tub brilliant."

A moated, triangular medieval castle with a drawbridge, twin-towered gatehouse and a border-conflict history.
Caerlaverock is a moated castle on the southern coast of Scotland, about seven miles south of Dumfries.

Carlisle Castle guarded the western end of the Anglo-Scottish border for hundreds of years and survived seven sieges by the Scots between 1174 and 1461. It was later adapted for artillery, and in 1568 it held Mary Queen of Scots prisoner. It stayed in military use well into the 20th century.
