Stylish and luxurious lodge located in beautiful rural area close to the Solway Firth on a large working family run farm with an array of activities to enjoy, fantastic private hot tub with wonderful loch and countryside scenery.

The spectacular lodge is set on the banks of Bengairn Loch, on a 1000-acre working farm. Head out on foot to explore the seaside village of Auchencairn, or journey inland to the bustling market town of Castle Douglas (7.5 miles). The luxurious lodge sleeps four guests, making it perfect for a small family or two couples, and also welcomes one canine visitor. Enjoy memorable evenings on the patio, admiring the views of the loch whilst toasting marshmallows around the firepit or sipping champagne in the hot tub.

The single-storey property has been decorated in a contemporary style and has a welcoming, home-away-from-home feel. The lodge is decorated in neutral tones, with carefully positioned spotlights creating a calm, relaxed mood. Plush soft furnishings and chic accessories create a sense of luxury throughout.

Leave your coats and boots in the vestibule, and head into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This light and bright space oozes elegance, with sumptuous sofas to sink into at the end of an action-packed day. Curl up to watch your favourite film on the Smart TV or listen to music on the Bluetooth speaker. The room is bathed in natural light, thanks to floor-to-ceiling French doors, which lead to the enclosed balcony and frame beautiful views over the loch. Gather around the large, round dining table to enjoy memorable mealtimes together, which have been lovingly prepared in the chic kitchen. The property has two bedrooms, both with Smart TVs, French doors leading to the outside area, and stylish en-suite facilities. Choose from the delightful twin (which can be made up as a super-king-size on request) and an elegant king-size bedroom.

Outside, you’ll find a large patio area overlooking the water. On summer’s evenings, dine alfresco or gather around the firepit to share stories over a glass of wine or two. Round off the evening with a soak in your private hot tub. There is ample off-road parking next to the lodge, along with an electric charging point and secure storage for bikes.

There are some stunning walking trails leading away from the village, including to the hills of Screel and Bengairn. You can also walk across the causeway at low tide, to visit the old smuggling haunt of Hestan Island.

Keen foodies will be delighted to learn that nearby Castle Douglas (7.5 miles) is one of Scotland’s designated ‘food towns’. The 18th-century market town is teeming with independent shops, cafes, and restaurants, all proudly selling and serving a vast array of local produce. Dine out in one of the highly regarded restaurants, or stock up on a range of delicious delicacies for your supper.

There are some fabulous sandy beaches along the coastline of Dumfries and Galloway. Sandyhills Beach, just 13 miles away, is a large, sandy beach, backed by sand dunes. The beach is the perfect spot for a relaxing picnic or gentle stroll along the shoreline and welcomes four-legged visitors all year. The beach has shallow waters and is popular with bathers. After a day on the sand, head to the wee cafe to refuel.
