A moated, triangular medieval castle with a drawbridge, twin-towered gatehouse and a border-conflict history.
Caerlaverock is a moated castle on the southern coast of Scotland, about seven miles south of Dumfries. Its triangular shape is unique among British castles, and it has a wide moat, a twin-towered gatehouse and lofty battlements. First built in the 13th century, it was the stronghold of the Maxwell family and was besieged by the English during the Wars of Scottish Independence.
Tip: Head up to the South range for the best views over the moat, then follow the short nature trail to the older castle's foundations.

Great peaceful break just what was needed. Good standard of accommodation
Mattress too thin, cobwebs on decking area a nightmare lets the look of the outside down
The pod was very clean and well maintained everything was as expected. The park was quite remote but easy to find. The surrounding area had lovely views
The lodge was spotlessly clean and the staff on-site were really friendly and helpful. We loved the location and felt it was great value for money. Definitely planning to come back soon!
We had a lovely stay, the pod was super comfy and really clean. The Wi-Fi worked well, which was great, but its a shame the smart TV didnt connect - wouldve been a nice touch. The only tiny thing was some of the corners in the floor werent spotless, but honestly, it wasnt a big deal. Wed definitely return!
Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was comfy and peaceful, just a couple of minor issues. Thanks!
We absolutely loved this lodge-really spacious, modern and spotlessly clean! Its perfect for a cosy getaway. Well definitely come back soon, its just so lovely.
Looking forward to visiting again
We really enjoyed our stay here. The lodge was spotless and the staff friendly and helpful. Its perfect if you're after some peace and quiet. Only downside was no nearby walks for the dog, so we had to drive somewhere. Sadly, the Scottish weather kept us from trying the hot tub, but maybe next time!
We finally got around to visiting Mouswald Park after lockdown and it was such a lovely experience! The lodge was spotless and felt really modern, with all the essentials we needed. We spent most of our time relaxing in the hot tub - honestly, we didnt want to leave! The whole site seemed well thought out, especially with safety in mind, which was reassuring. The staff were super friendly and helpful, making everything smooth. We loved the peaceful vibe and didnt venture off the site at all. Honestly, well definitely return. Thanks for a fantastic, safe weekend away - it was exactly what we needed! Would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing break.

We absolutely loved this park! The setting is stunning and really peaceful. Sure, theres not much to do on-site and no shop, but thats part of its charm. We had such a lovely time, already booked for next year - cant wait!
Really enjoyed our stay, the lodges are lovely.
Really enjoyed the stay, just wish there was more privacy outdoors.

Really enjoyed our stay, the cabin was perfect for us.
Really enjoyed it, despite a few old-fashioned touches.
Lovely place very clean staff very good and helpful. Could do with a small shop on site and if wanted to get even more people and make a number 1 place in Scotland could invest in a indoor pool would really get more people to stay and something to do on rainy days think it would be a good investment and maybe a bar.went to one in loo Last year and they had all that and it was one of the best sites been all in all a very good place thew things would make this a number 1 site in Scotland
Relaxed 4 days exactly what my family needed.
It is peaceful place. Definitely will go again
The lodge is beautiful, really big and everything you need is provided (towels, dishcloth, dishwasher tablets etc). It's a 10 ou of 10.
The hot tub was perfect. Accommodates 4 people comfortably.
The site is very small with lots of trees providing welcome shade during warm days and privacy.
It's only a short drive to Dumfries if you need to stock up on food/drinks.
People with young families may prefer a more lively venue, with more things to do. It's perfect for a quiet relaxing weekend/holiday.
Lovely place, spotlessly clean and tidy.
Sean and Linda the site supervisors are so nice and always about if you need them, will definitely be returning in the future and would highly recommend.
Quiet peaceful holiday in a well maintained setting. Kids loved the hot tub. Plenty to do in the surrounding area. Would definitely go back.
