Lodge 3

Heatheryhaugh lodges have been in business for almost 40 years, the four bungalows were build in th early eighties by Brian and Martie Larmour with the help of the Scottish tourist board in the days when self catering in Moffat was almost non-existent.

They never looked back and they have been welcoming guests ever since they retired in 2015, taking great delight  in the fact that many of them became regulars and some of them even friends

Now the lodges are run by Ben and Lydia Larmour, their son and daughter in law, who  continue to welcome old, some of them 2nd and 3rd generation, and new guests with the same hospitality and pleasure as Brian and Martie did before them.

Come and see for yourselves why so many return to the lodges time and time again.

You will be made very welcome.
