Holiday Parks & Lodges in Dumfries & Galloway

Explore stunning Scottish landscapes in the great outdoors...
Dumfries and Galloway is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Explore the rolling hills, enchanting forests and tranquil lochs of the Galloway Forest Park, perfect for hiking, cycling, and stargazing. Miles from the metropolis, this is Britain's only Dark Sky Park where you can view planets and the bright band of the Milky Way all with the naked eye. If you time it right, and depending on the season, you could be in for a treat of meteor showers, or the full spectral full moon. Walks are well-signed (approximately five miles and moderate in difficulty) and you might even spot red squirrels and roe deer around Loch Trool. The rugged Scottish glens are made for walking, but if this is a little ambitious for you, then why not visit the Logan Botanic Garden? Here you can find a remarkable collection of unusual and beautiful plants from all over the world. The Walled Garden is a celebration of these world plants, and after you have discovered the outstanding fauna, take a stroll to the highest point at Logan with its breathtaking views across the Rhins of Galloway Hills.

Delve into history with a trip to historic sites and castles...
Immerse yourself in the region's rich history and heritage as you explore ancient castles and sites, retracing the footsteps of Scottish heroes. From the imposing Caerlaverock Castle's triangular silhouette to Drumlanrig Castle's opulent interiors, each site narrates tales of medieval grandeur. Take a boat trip to Threave Castle's river-bound ruins, soak up the stunning views over Fleet Bay from the 15th-century Cardoness Castle, or embrace the peaceful setting of Glenluce Abbey. Many of these sites offer guided tours so you can really delve into their history, and, if you're planning on visiting several of them, consider heritage passes and memberships for access to special rates. Our homely holiday lodges are in prime locations, making it easy to visit these incredible sites, then head back to your home away from home to relax with onsite amenities like a private hot tub or an indoor swimming pool.
