The Details

Step into a world of charm and comfort at Selkie’s Haven, a truly unique lodge where old-world elegance meets modern luxury on the wild Scottish coast. Here, arched windows frame sweeping views, while beautifully curated artwork and lush textures create a space that feels both timeless and deeply personal. This is a place designed for couples or solo travellers seeking an escape filled with beauty, comfort and quiet wonder.

Inside, the atmosphere is all about character and indulgence. The lounge invites you to sink into soft furnishings, admire the artwork or gently sway in the quirky hanging egg chair, perfect for those blissful afternoons with a book or glass of wine in hand. The fully stocked kitchen has everything you need to prepare delicious meals, while underfloor heating and a stylish Frame TV add comfort and convenience to your stay.

The bedroom is intimate and calming, complete with a luxurious ensuite shower room. Throughout, thoughtful touches abound, from plush rugs underfoot to the estate’s very own line of luxury toiletries, ensuring every detail of your stay feels special.

Step outside and you’ll find a private sanctuary that makes the most of this breathtaking location. The outdoor bathtub and shower offer an unforgettable way to relax beneath the stars, while a hammock and chic outdoor lounge area tempt you to linger in the fresh sea air. A Green Egg BBQ and fire pit make alfresco evenings a delight, whether you’re grilling freshly caught seafood or simply gazing at the horizon with a dram of whisky.

Beyond your lodge, the vast Dunskey Estate beckons with walled gardens, a maze, two private lochs, beaches and meadows waiting to be explored. This secluded spot on the Southern Upland Way is a haven of tranquillity, where the rhythm of the tides and winds connects you with Scotland’s ancient landscape. Take coastal walks, venture to the nearby ports steeped in history, or simply surrender to the peace of your private paradise.
