Situated in a fantastic spot overlooking the Firth of Clyde, this is one of a delightful group of three bright and cosy bothies offering stylish accommodation. Making a quirky, welcoming and romantic retreat for two, the bothy is located on a 370-acre working beef and sheep farm, with spectacular views which you can take in from the soothing comfort of a private, covered hot tub. With the three internationally-renowned golf courses of Turnberry within 3 miles, this is a wonderful getaway for keen golfers. This refreshing, inviting and relaxing property makes a lovely base for a tranquil holiday, with the majestic Galloway Forest Park a few miles inland, and stunning views across the sea to the Isle of Arran.

The open decked area leads you into the light and inviting open-plan living area of this chic and appealing bothy. You can curl up on the comfortable sofa at the end of a great day out, and spend an evening catching up with a good book or watching a favourite film on the TV. The thoughtfully-designed kitchen area is kitted out with a range of equipment so you can prepare all your favourite meals. There’s also a useful dining area at the centre of the room which provides the ideal spot for a romantic dinner. The bothy also offers a cosy double bed and a handy shower room complete with shower and WC.

Outside, the spacious decked area provides beautiful far-reaching views over the Firth of Clyde and towards the craggy granite islet of Ailsa Craig and the majestic Isle of Arran, along with the Mull of Kintyre and Northern Ireland. The covered hot tub is perfect for relaxing in, and you can also enjoy a BBQ. Ample off-road parking can be found next to the lodge.

Very relaxing break with husband, silence definitely is golden as this was this so peaceful with great views. Loved the cows peering over the fence each morning and the farm cat popping in for a visit. Hot tub being covered allows you to use at anytime and being in the tub looking up to see clear skies and the stars was just magical.
