Property code: 64391

An ideal destination for a romantic break, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this beautiful lodge would suit a couple wanting to relax amidst the peace and beauty of south west Scotland. After a day exploring the local area, and a stop-off for essentials at Auchencairn village shop (2.5 miles), unwind with a dip in the private hot tub.

 

This lovely lodge is filled with luxurious details, such as mood lighting, a free-standing bath, and a dressing room off the bedroom. The décor is stylish and there are colourful details throughout. Vaulted ceilings increase the brightness in the rooms, and the large windows make the most of the panoramic sea views.

 

From the few steps at the door, enter the hallway and remove your outdoor layers. A handy utility room is great for rainy days when you’ve been out and about, so put anything needing a clean in there. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is a wonderful space for you to spend cosy evenings together, cooking a romantic meal in the well-equipped kitchen, eating and talking at the table, and finally moving to a soft seat with a dram or hot drink. Choose a film to watch on the TV/DVD, and then retire to the king-size bed for a good night’s sleep. In the morning, admire the sea view from your duvet and flick through the channels on the bedroom’s TV. Soak in the bath or feel revitalised under the double-headed rain shower before brunch at the kitchen island.

 

The lodge has a patio area accessed via French doors in the living area. If the weather is warm, dine alfresco, or take a seat in the covered decked area, where the mood lighting in the ceiling will make sure you have a starry night even if the sky is overcast. The hot tub is also on the patio, at the side of the property.

The surrounding area is filled with sheltered bays and secluded sandy beaches, castle ruins, and vibrant small towns and villages. Drive to Castle Douglas (11 miles), known as the 'Food Town' for its many local businesses selling fresh and quality produce. Browse the shop windows on its main street, stop in for an ice cream, and then head over to National Trust for Scotland's Threave Garden, and Threave Castle, both on the outskirts of the town.

Also, well worth a visit is harbour town Kirkcudbright (12 miles), otherwise known as the 'Artists' Town' for its connections to renowned creative individuals. There you'll find National Trust for Scotland's Broughton House and Garden, home of Glasgow Boy E.A. Hornel, the Kirkcudbright Galleries, and a handful of smaller art galleries scattered around the town. There is also a number of friendly cafes and independent shops.

Local beauty spots for a pleasant stroll include Bainloch Deer Park (16.5 miles) and Brighouse Bay (18 miles), where you can feel the sand between your toes and enjoy the Scottish sunshine. For a romantic picnic, venture to one of the pretty ruins, such as Dundrennan Abbey (6 miles), Cardoness Castle (20 miles), or Sweetheart Abbey (22 miles).

Stunning location that felt really isolated and private. Really enjoyed our time here.

This is an outstanding property, excellently equipped and with lovely modern-design indoor and outdoor areas. It is remarkably spacious for two and well deserves its luxury rating. It is beautifully located right next to the sea but well away from roads so is wonderfully peaceful, with great views. The only drawback is that the shoreline itself is Read morerocky and not really accessible , but there is a lovely coastal path right outside. The community shop in the nearby village is excellent.
