  Visited twice this year April and September we had already booked a lodge for September and last minute decided to try caravan also in April .Found the caravan entrance door mat grubby and crumbs in cupboards everywhere else fine. I have two Labradors we took their beds they were never in any of the bedrooms. On leaving I hoovered cleaned all benches cooker, oven nothing was left dirty. On return I received a letter stating it had to have a deep clean to say I was shocked and insulted is an understatement.We left immediately after hoovering and everything was left spotless bins emptied you name it.I can only assume I have missed dogs hairs which can only have been in the lounge We did pay for the dogs and surely that covers any hairs left behind from the dogs. There was no damage no spill no marks apart from the grubby door mat that was already there. . Because we had already paid deposit for September we did go back to the lodge .I did not enjoy as I was constantly worrying about dogs hairs.I definitely would not go back as of all the beautiful places we have been to we have never received a letter like this. As for the owners I would have appreciated a detailed report of what the problem was to inform me that it needed a deep clean which I strongly dispute. The owner said she checked the property herself but did she check it previously ,if so why didn’t she check the cupboards and remove grubby front door mat. I respect other people’s property as I do my own. This time on leaving lodge I made a video of the whole property including oven/cooker.I only wish I done this previously. It’s very unfair in receiving a letter like this which I think is probably due to dogs hairs. We were recommended these lodges by our friends Chris and Joan who go every year for 2weeks and also in December We we’re there together inSeptember they have the end lodge they are also our neighbours back home and they fully understand how I feel and would not go back. As for customer service I notice how she acknowledged the people on the next lodge and had a few words with them and yet never said a hello when we were on the porch.Still waiting for explanation on how some dogs hairs require a deep clean.Definitely not recommend this place for that reason.She needs to be honest and state what the issue was and admit she got it wrong as I can’t accept deep clean.

  The location of the lodge is perfect. Quiet and a short walk to the amenities on the sea front of Kippford. The lodge is very well equipped with everything you need in the kitchen. Lovely thick bathroom towels. Washing machine and tumble dryer were useful, as was the outside washing line. Plenty of board games available too. The slight disappointment was the cleanliness. Very dusty in places, lots of dog hair on blankets and under furniture and a lot of cobwebs. The en-suite shower didn’t drain properly because the drain hole was full of hair. The windows were dirty and the grass needed cutting. The grass was cut during the week we were there but all the cuttings were left on the surface so we had no option but to walk through it which meant we had to sweep up constantly as it came inside. There was a brand new BBQ which was appreciated. The furniture is all a bit tired and in need a replacing. You could feel the springs on the king size bed. We walked from Kippford to Rockcliffe, a lovely walk some of which is uphill. There are a couple of pubs on the seafront in Kippford and a small cafe/shop which serves great coffe as well as other things. Kippford is a great base for visiting all the places to see in the area. Threave Gardens and Kircudbright are recommended. There are great beaches at Rockcliffe and Sandyhills.

  Crabtree lodge and Mossyard is a portal to another world, a place where you can relax and reconnect, where the days are never the same and the sky tells many stories in a day. NEVER EVER EVER EVER.... have we stayed in such a BRILLIANT equipped holiday accommodation even a blender which was a god send to us for our disabled daughter! The attention to detail within the lodge is lovely from the art work on the walls to the bedding and lovely fluffy towels, the kitchen is equipped beyond belief. The Christmas decorations were enough for our current situation we knew it was Christmas but not in your face Christmas it was tactful and thoughtful. Thank you for sharing Mossyard with us this Christmas very special memories were made with the magic and sanctuary of Mossyard. Definitely book Gather at Laggans up the hill breathtaking views and food amazing and don't miss highly reccommend is The 1 Little Farm shop which is on the farm @1littlefarm for all your local produced foods!!

  From the minute you turn onto the farm road, everything is immaculate and well maintained. As you reach the lodge there are plenty of parking space, (at least four cars.) The interior of the lodge is of a very high standard, towels bedding furnishings are luxurious. There is everything you need and more. The welcome pack was much appreciated. The weather was very wet and windy but the quality and insulation meant that it was barely audible and so cozy. The beach was spotless and perfect for morning walks and beach combing. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

  Our week in the Bluebell Lodge was perfect. From the welcome tray with local produce and fresh flowers, to the spectacular views out over the sea, and the comfortable (and immaculately clean) furnishings. This was our second visit and won't be our last. So much to see and do in the surrounding area (plus the fantastic Mossyard beach) and even when the weather is not kind it is the idea place to relax and recharge your batteries.
