Could The Lodge at Dabton be your next escape? 🌿

Tucked in the entrance of Dabton House, our charming gatehouse offers a cosy retreat for solo travellers or couples seeking a slower pace of life. If you love the setting of Dabton but don't require the scale of the House itself, The Lodge provides the perfect escape.

Inside, you'll find an inviting open-plan living space, a king-size bedroom, and thoughtful touches including a crackling log fire and Smart TV. Perfectly placed for exploring Dumfries & Galloway and beyond, it's a wonderful base for days of adventure and evenings by the fire.

A fond throwback to a spring shoot at Dabton a couple of years ago with our friends at Restoration Yard ✨

It is always a pleasure to see the house and grounds used so creatively, with Dabton’s characterful interiors and outdoor spaces pairing beautifully with their styling.

If you’re looking for a unique setting for a photoshoot, we’d be happy to hear from you.
