  • The Lodge On The Beach, Dumfries And GallowayInstant Book Overlay Image
    The Lodge on the Beach is a two bedroomed log cabin set in probably one of the most stunning and truly unique locations in South West Scotland. Nestled on the shores of Auchenmalg Bay on an eight acre plot and just yards from your door is the family friendly beach. With its magical location, The Lodge on the Beach offers you a wonderful relaxing escape for all the family. With the views, the beautiful sunrises, the sublime sunsets over the Mull of Galloway, the walks, and sound of the waves just yards away, you will be blown away by the scenery and the location.
    The Lodge on the Beach is ideally placed to explore the wider and unspoilt area of South West Scotland if you can drag yourself away. A very short stroll along the beach takes you to a delightful country pub and restaurant if you don’t want to cook after your day out exploring. A few minutes away by car is Glenluce, where there is a local shop selling essentials and 20 minutes away Stranraer offers a greater range of shops including Supermarkets. This area of Dumfries and Galloway boasts rugged coastlines and secluded sandy beaches as well as inland forests and hills making walking a delight and for the cyclists the world famous 7Stanes mountain biking trails are close by at Kirroughtree. The Lodge on the Beach is an ideal base for a Golfing Holiday. With Wigtownshire County Club less than ten minutes from the Lodge, and South West Scotland boasts twenty three Golf courses. The icing on the cake is that just over an hour away there is Turnberry.
    Along the coast is the lovely little village of Port William, known as the “Machars of Galloway” and of course you must go and find “The Man” and get a photograph with him. As well as Port William, you can also explore quaint villages such as Sandhead, Portpatrick and the Isle of Whithorn. A must is a visit to Wigtown, which is famous for being Scotland’s National Book Town, a book lovers haven. The Mull of Galloway, Scotland’s most southerly point and home to the RSPB nature reserve, where thousands of seabird’s nests on the cliff face during spring and summer is definitely worth a visit. Beach 1 mile.

  • The Old Servants Hall, Dumfries And GallowayInstant Book Overlay Image
    The Old Servants’ Hall forms part of the ground floor in the west wing of Dunragit House, a beautiful Grade B former mansion house which dates from the late 17th century. The Old Servants’ Hall, which is accessed by a private entrance in the walled courtyard to the rear of the House, has been carefully restored over the last eighteen months. Reflecting the character of the original architecture, it features much of the quaintly irregular features including original doors and sash windows, servants’ bell box and areas of previously concealed tongue and groove panelling. With books throughout, the utility air of the original ‘understairs’ area has been overlaid with vintage textiles, carefully selected furniture, kitchenware, and 21st century facilities to ensure a feeling of splendour. The Old Servants’ Hall is beautifully warm and cosy and is delightfully decorated throughout with stripped wood floors, antique Turkish rugs, an eclectic mix of mid-20th century and antique furniture and sumptuous bed and bedding. Dunragit House has extensive gardens, and paths to the surrounding woodland, rich in Snowdrops and Bluebells in the Spring, which guests are welcome to enjoy.
    The Old Servants’ Hall provides an excellent base from which to explore the relatively undiscovered Galloway. Glenwahn Gardens, described as one of the most beautiful newly made gardens in Scotland, is just a ten minute walk away. Contrasts are everywhere: delightful Port Patrick, the rocky drama of the Mull of Galloway; Wigton, Scotland’s book town; Inland lies Galloway Forest, the largest forest park in Britain. The Old Servants’ hall provides the ideal starting point for exploration of this beautiful area of Scotland. Maps and information leaflets may be perused by the wood burner. Beach 6¾ miles. Pub and restaurant 4 miles.
