Lovely accommodation, only a few minutes walk into the town. Rear of the house overlooks the loch, play park with good dog walks. The Hot tub which sits directly below the upstairs balcony is great. Just to note the 3 properties at this site are covered by various CCTV to the front and rear.

This property is in the perfect location. We have been to this accommodation before and were very pleased to see it was still a home from home. Very well equipped, comfortable and welcoming. We would definitely consider a revisit again in the future. There is nothing this property is lacking

I have stayed at carlingwark lodges several times now, I enjoy it so much it has become an annual visit. The property is large and comfortable with lovely views over the Loch. The owner has always gone out of his way to meet the medical needs that my mum had to enable us to get away on holiday for which I will always be grateful. The hotub is privaRead morete out the back and a great addition to relax! I like to visit for a week during winter for some R&R and find it perfect for this. I will be back! Hide

We really loved the cottage. The upside down layout meant we had great views from the living room over the park. Bedrooms were great & having 2 bathrooms is great when it's four adults. Location is ideal for walking the dog & walking to the shops. Very well equipped with everything you need for a short break.
