What our customers say about their holidays

  We had a lovely stay at Dershel Lodge in Southerness.

  The lodge was like a home from home, fully equipped with everything you require to enjoy your stay. We especially enjoyed the large TV with access to Netflix, Prime ect as well as the fact there was a washing machine. The lodge itself is beautifuly decorated down to the finest detail, even the room diffusers smell amazing! There is also lots of storage space and a walk in wardrobe in the master bedroom. The kitchen was great to cook in, very spacious with a big centre island. We have tried a lot of different accommodation on the park and this has by far surpassed them all. Best of all was the price, which is affordable for families on a budget. The process of booking was straightforward and friendly service from start to finish! Thoroughly enjoyed and will definitely be back, wouldn't go anywhere else now.

  I have already spoken to one Of your colleagues on the phone.

  The picture of the lodge suggested quite an open area,in fact with a high solid wooden fence 6 feet high the rear garden was quite claustrophobic. The actual Parkdean park was well cared for, clean, tidy and as you might wish. Unfortunately the lodge was sited on the perimeter of the park set amongst much older properties, next door there was a high stack of old pallets and 2 properties away was a junkyard, in which there was a rusting bus full of weeds, an old filthy caravan and general rubbish. On the other side of the garden fence was a trailer full of scrap metal, and an old boat. On a positive note the lodge itself couldn't be faulted with excellent fixtures and fittings, though lacked some of the usual cooking /preparation implements if you want self catering.

  When we arrived it had been raining most of the way to Southerness.

  The sky cleared in the evening and we managed to eat the Fish and Chips that we bought at JJs, sitting on the balcony in the sunshine, the suppers were very good, nice well cooked chips and a large fish in batter. Nice outside comfortable waterproof seats and cushions. The property was absolutely great, loads of room in the living area and the bedrooms. Everything was very clean and tidy and there was a wee cupboard with some games. We took with us a cd player to give music on the few days that it rained and we could not go out. The two ladies were able to play bingo in the Mermaid pub whilst I had a beer in the bar. The prices were reasonable fora holiday resort. We had a very good holiday in Cheri and would recommend this property.

  This was our second stay at Dershel and it didn't disappoint.

  We love the location and outlook of the lodge. Very comfortable for our needs. Everything was as we remembered and loved. A couple of observations to note, which didn't spoil our stay but feel you need to know. The tin opener needs replaced, as it doesn't work and there were no baking trays to cook food. Luckily I did take my own baking tray! Also the kitchen lights over the island could do with a wipe. Sadly the weather was rubbish for two days, but we enjoyed the range of films available on the TV and enjoyed the lodge. Also for future guests, you can pay to use the swimming pool, without having to buy passes. Each swimming session is £5 per person, under 5s are free. We were sad to leave and will be back next year

  The lodge was much more spacious than we are used to and really felt more like a house than a caravan.

  It was a real advantage to have such a large and encloses garden area too. The plot is about 1 min walk from the beach which was great too. The area around Southerness is lovely and attractions around Dumphries are worth checking out. The Park Dean resort that this lodge is based is not great and there are some scruffy plots that house old and rusted up caravans. It is perhaps not the best place if you are after lots of resort facilities. Nonetheless, the lodge itself is far better than you will find listed on commercial resorts. The facilities in the lodge are amazing and make the stay really comfortable and enjoyable. If you stay here expect to see lots of wild rabbits who like to come and chill in the garden!
