  • Luxury glamping lodges with Annandale views in Dumfries and Galloway
  • Robert Burns House: 20 minutes’ drive; Drumlanrig Castle 40 minutes
  • Private covered hot tub and communal firepit on a dark-skies site
With some really rather spectacular and far-reaching Annandale views, Laird Lodges provide luxurious hillside retreats on a working family farm in Dumfries and Galloway. Easy to access from the M74, the site is also within speedy reach of Dumfries (both 15 minutes’ drive) for shops and dining options. But back to those lodges. Handmade by local craftsmen, with fixtures and fittings sourced locally or regionally throughout, the lodges each sleep up to four people on double beds (hotel-quality bedding, towels, bathrobes and slippers come as part of the deal) and king-size sofa beds. Ensuite shower rooms and country-style kitchenettes with Belfast sinks, coffee makers and microwave ovens add to luxury, while Smart TVs take care of any downtime. At this point, please note that there’s no wifi, but a very strong 4G signal across the site. Outside, each lodge has its own private, covered hot tub and a spacious (and the owners have qualifications to ensure hot tub safety), decked outdoor dining area with double swing seats. You can get together with friends around the communal firepit, and hopefully there will be a clear night for spying on the stars in this dark-skies area. Breakfast packs showcasing local produce are available to buy on request, and carry-out meals can be delivered from local pubs and restaurants.

Lodge

Liked: The hot tub! Went down very well with all of us! Great that it's under cover meaning we didn't have to worry about the weather. Views were stunning. Was so peaceful. Wouldn't have known anyone else was staying or that it was a working farm. Plenty to do and explore nearby. Loved the app. Full of useful information and recommendations. Great communication with Angie from start to finish. *no WiFi in cabins so can't rate properly however 4g was strong for everyone.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you Jennifer for your lovely comments and for choosing to stay with us at Laird Lodges. Please come back when the skies are clear and bring that telescope!!!
