The Details
Set within the enchanting woodlands of the Dunskey Estate, this stunning lochside retreat offers a peaceful hideaway where you can fully switch off. With its own private dock on the water’s edge, you can while away afternoons with a book, sip wine as the sun sets over the loch or simply listen to the gentle sounds of nature. To make things even more magical, step into your very own outdoor bathtub beneath the stars, the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring.
Inside, the interiors strike a balance between rustic warmth and vibrant design. Expect beautiful furnishings, bold colours and soft, textured rugs that create a homely and stylish feel. The open-plan living space invites you to cook, dine and relax together, with a fully-equipped kitchen where you’ll find everything you need to prepare hearty meals. Gather in the cosy lounge with Smart TV and WiFi or throw open the doors to connect seamlessly with the outdoor terrace and lochside views.
Both bedrooms are individually designed with character and flair, each featuring super-comfy double beds dressed in crisp linens and complemented by exquisite decor. Whether you’re waking up to birdsong drifting through the trees or enjoying a peaceful night’s rest after soaking in the outdoor tub, these spaces promise comfort and serenity.
Beyond the lodge itself, you’ll have access to the full expanse of the estate with its walled gardens, maze, two lochs, beaches and endless woodlands. A generous welcome hamper, unlimited logs and even complimentary use of the boat on the loch are included to make your stay feel extra special.
Venture out to the nearby village of Portpatrick where you’ll discover a charming harbour, colourful cottages, traditional pubs and excellent seafood restaurants. Explore the dramatic cliffs of the Southern Upland Way, visit Castle Kennedy Gardens or enjoy a round of golf with spectacular sea views. The surrounding coastline is perfect for walking, wildlife spotting and discovering secret coves, while countryside trails invite long hikes and cycling adventures through beautiful landscapes.
