Roe Deer Lodge

The accommodation was great so clean everything we needed was there.

It was so quiet great for a chilling holiday. We could not of asked for anything better. Loved watching the House Martin birds fly about feed there young then leave there nest. The beds were so comfortable quilts and pillow were fab. We had a problem with the hot water so phoned and the owner was on the phone straight away and it was sorted. No prob after that. Great holiday would recommend it .

Lovely and comfortable everything you needed was there

We loved this lodge.

Yes it was a bit tired but that didn't affect us. It was really clean apart from the kitchen as the cupboard and drawer handles were very dirty, pots had been put away with scrambled egg still on them and one of the bowls had dried in Weetabix in it. We just gave them a wash before we used them. The info pack said that there was 2 keys in the safety box but there was only one. We couldn't open the double doors at the front as there wasn't a key. These things were minor, I'd go back without any thinking twice. Overall the lodge was great.

On arrival found food marks on fridge door and inside.

Sink splashback in toilet spattered with? as well as taps and sink. The underside of the plastic cutlery/crockery draining thing was smeared with food residue. Oil heater had a broken castor. Smell of dog in sitting area. Frying pan had to be washed before use. Dust/cobwebs on ceilings and picture frames. Not on to have to clean a place before we can enjoy our break! On departure I left a list of issues for the attention of the cleaner,

Lodge was situated on a nice quiet area within the well maintained park with an open outlook to the front.

The lodge itself had a large veranda to the front and to the side, internally it was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Personal car parking space at side of lodge.

Accommodation was a little tired but comfortable.

There was cooked food left in the oven which was rather off putting. On arrival the key safe was jammed and were unable to access the lodge until a spare key was provided.

We had a very relaxing stay at the lodge.

The lodge was clean, comfortable and warm. The site wasn't busy at this time of year so was very quiet and relaxed. The lodge was a great base that allowed us to explore the local area and very scenic coastlines. We would book the lodge again for a relaxing break.

We had a very pleasant stay at the lodge, accommodation was clean and comfortable and the park was quiet and peaceful,the surrounding area places of interest to visit and we would definitely go again.

Lovely place

Had difficulty with single door lock, no washing up bowl, only 1 bulb working in floor lamp, poor supply of cooking utensils none of scissors would cut, extractor fan hood switches broken and lack of dishing up bowls, this is the first Sykes property that has been poorly supplied in all the years we have been using you, don’t get me wrong it was a lovely property in a beautiful spot and I would stay again in a heartbeat I would just have to take more stuff with me as I do like to eat at home .

Nice site, nice neighbours.

Quiet, shop in Whithorn, takeaway there too. ( Indian and fish and chips). Near to coast. We just had a great time.

We had a lovely Easter weekend in Roe Deer Lodge.

It was very comfortable and well equipped with lots of nice touches. Would definitely stay again. Many thanks.

Excellent centre for exploring Whithorn and the surrounding area which is rich in archaeology.

Lodge is well equipped and comfortable.

Lovely spacious lodge on a very quiet site.

Just 10 minutes drive to several little villages by the sea .

Overall a good stay .

Although warm days was cold at night and first thing inside lodge especially bathroom and bedroom.I did have to wipe marks of kitchen cupboards . Lovely position on park just a little dated in lodge

Lovely lodge , peaceful and relaxing.

Great shower and comfortable sofas. Enclosed deck safe for our wee dog. Country lane walk directly behind lodge. Clean and good wifi. Garlieston has a beautiful beach.

We had a very enjoyable week and loved the location of the lodge - nice walks from the door and knowing the area well we visited a number of places including several fabulous gardens.

Site of lodge peaceful and quiet, surrounding area glorious.

Lodge itself overall poorly maintained, tired looking, unhygienic, poor cleanliness. Decking area full of cobwebs, green mould and algae, bird poo, dead plants in pots, seating rusty, discoloured, stained. Entrance step broken temp mend with gaffa tape, as is shower enclosure with hazard tape, mould and dirt ingrained in shower enclosure. Smoke alarms held on by blue tac as one fell off during our stay. Kitchen utensils pots and pans, glasses and cutlery filthy and requiring cleaning before use. Previous occupants food, slippers, toothbrushes and toiletries left in cupboards. Wifi not working as was television, sound only no picture ( known problem). Battery powered bedroom side light not working. Overall very disappointed as have used Sykes before, spent most of our time away from lodge and left early, Did not complain to Sykes or owner at the time as in my view to many problems and issues requiring solved and many of them already aware of by owner according to welcome book and cleaning schedule etc in folder. All above documented in various pictures I am able and willing to share on request with owner and Sykes, although I strongly recommend both require to visit lodge as my pictures and summary above are a true reflection of what we experienced and nothing like what you describe on your website. This customers journey was not a happy one. Mark and Fiona

A restful stay , lovely area.

Newton Stuart was a nice visit. Port William was a lovely walk.

The location and venue nice.

Only rated as 4 stars because the double bed very uncomfortable. Was not able to log into WiFi. But my main feedback is in relation to it being pet friendly. I understand why you wouldn't want pets on furniture but it is not pet friendly stating aminals not to be left in the lodge on there own, so i was limited what i could do because of not being able to leave my dog. The site doesn't allow you to have pets off a lead to run about. Had i know about those points not sure I would have booked.

Peacefull comfortable situated near beautiful beaches lochs woodland.

Everything for home from home considered freindly helpful neighbours on site.

When we arrived at the park we couldn’t believe how lovely and clean the lodge was, so lovely situated and couldn’t have wished for a better lodge, with everything you needed to enjoy a fantastic rest, with birds singing and a fantastic friendly park, you couldn’t rate this anything but a 5 star recommendation.

i am a smoker.

there is a good bit of shelter from rain & wind & a gate so my dog could mess around on the veranda , lovely area for driving around & good pub food also dog friendly especialy the harbour inn at garlieston, good comfortable lodge.

Got exactly what we all needed.

A nice break away from our working lives and being able to relax in an extremely comfortable and beautiful lodge. More than enough space for my wife and I as well as our 16 year old son and 12 year old daughter and black Labrador. Picturesque towns a short drive away with all essentials catered for. Would highly recommend this property and Scotland in general, a beautiful place to recharge your batteries.

Nice place, very well equipped, a little tired in places.

Even with the blinds down and cutains drawn in the bedroom it was still very bright at sunrise. As specified its a quiet site which I'd looked for, but found this a bit too isolated. A shop within walking distance would have been nice. All in all it was a comfortable base to visit other places.

Just returned from a 3 night stay at Roe Deer Lodge was a beautiful property very comfortable very quiet site in a beautiful area would highly recommend we had a lovely relaxing stay just what was needed.

Would definitely book to stay again.So very glad I found this Heather

The location is lovely.

Unfortunately our hearts sank when we saw the caravan next door's motorhome parked a foot away from the side lounge window of the lodge. There was a really nice view from the decking of the fields to the left, but obliterated by the motorhome. The decking of the lodge was covered in dog hair and bird droppings, and a broken pot by the French doors also covered in bird droppings. The lodge has obviously been lovely at one time, but has an air of neglect about it, frayed curtains, dirty blinds and window ledges, fluff and dust behind the bathroom door, the oven and toaster were filthy, the kitchen cupboards dirty, especially the one under the sink. Utensil rack on the wall ingrained with grease. Dog hairs stuck to the valance on the double bed. No bedside lamp. Personal items, presumably the owner's, in cupboards and drawers, even shoes and socks in one of the bedroom drawers. Despite the property being advertised as having central heating the handbook stated that there is a fire in the lounge and a portable heater, and not to touch the controls of the boiler. All in all a total disappointment, made worse by the lack of attention to cleanliness.

A lovely lodge in a quiet park, great for r&r

Excellent location for peace and quiet and exploring the surrounding ding area.

Lodge was better than expected and had everything we needed, except a measuring hug! The pictures don’t do it justice, very clean and tidy. Park is small and no entertainment that we could see, so definitively not for young kids.

Lovely lodge on a small site.

We had a great week of peace and relaxation, just what was needed after a horrible year. Beds and settee really comfy and the lodge itself has everything you need. The dark starry sky was fabulous, I’ve never seen so many stars - I wish I’d had a telescope!

Spotlessly clean very relaxing !

Beautiful site and excellently maintained can't fault anything ..

What a find we found in Roe Deer Lodge, from swallows nesting at the side of the lodge to the peaceful setting around, what was there not to like.

The owners had tastefully decorated the lodge with all the home comforts you would need. The surprise was the large shower unit - delightfully big for the size of the lodge. We had only booked for 4 nights but will be back again - it's an ideal location to explore and we did, although I would warn other avid readers on this as I succumbed to buying 10 books in my venture into Wigtown! Thank you too for the welcome pack - the snowballs were delicious!

We stayed for a week in June and enjoyed the lodge and its peaceful location so much that we stayed on for an extra week.

Can highly recommend the lodge. We have a little dog and the large decked area was perfect for her and there was a good dog walking area close by. Good sized main bedroom and 2 single rooms one a good size the other small but perfectly usable. Comfy couches in the lounge area and a good shower room.

My husband and I, decided to go for a weeks vocation along with my little dog, to the perfect place of relaxation.

which i would strongly recommend. It was of excellence from start to finish, Roe Deer Lodge was magnificent , surrounding areas, Including Whithorn, and Isle of Whithorn, Galloway Astronomy ,my Centre, Port William, St Ninians, Stunning Scenery and wildlife all around. Just perfect , We Will Definitely, book again in the near Future,
