I didn't thinks view could do this.

Across our five lodges, you get a different slice of the same quiet corner of southwest Scotland — the Solway Firth from one window, the hills of another, and no real reason to leave for a few days.

Gatehouse Luxury Lodges, just outside Gatehouse of Fleet.

Half term brings fireworks and fancy dress to most places this week. At the lodges it tends to just mean the log burner gets lit a bit earlier in the afternoon, and nobody feels much urge to go anywhere after that. That basket of logs by the stove is about as exciting as the evening needs to get, and most people staying here seem glad of it

Silver Birch earns its name properly this time of year. Every afternoon the valley turns gold and rust for about an hour, and I still stop whatever I’m doing to watch it from the kitchen window.

That’s what a week here gives you back: time to actually notice a view, instead of driving past it on the way to somewhere else.

Could not agree more!

The travel experts praise the hiking, cycling and stargazing opportunities in Dumfries and Galloway.

Red kites have been circling over the woods most mornings this week, and the deer are edging closer to the treeline as the light changes. Worth a coffee by the window and a while spent just watching.

I ran out of the house a few minutes too late tonight. The best of the colour had already gone by the time I reached the gate, but even the tail end of it was worth standing in a cold field for.

This is the time of year it starts to happen properly around Gatehouse of Fleet. The evenings draw in, the sky does something different every night, and by half five you have a good reason to put down whatever you were doing and go and look.

Halloween is just over two weeks away, and the best version of it up here is the quiet one. Dark lanes, a proper night sky and nowhere you need to be.

If that sounds like your kind of weekend, The Lodges are a good place to be for it.

James.
