The details

Sitting on a truly spectacular estate in Dumfries and Galloway, Symphonica is a marvellous lodge retreat offering groups of four a delightful stay. Situated all one level, this enchanting lodge sits a few steps from a marvellous hedge maze, and has special access to the estate’s historic walled garden. Add to this the impeccable interiors and amazing activities available on-site, and you’ve got the perfect base for an enjoyable break in the Scottish countryside.

The main social hub of Symphonica is the open plan living space, which features amazing murals on the walls and fabulous antique furnishings throughout. Get comfy on the sofa as you throw logs on the wood-burning fireplace or enjoy a movie night on the TV. The open plan living space also features a quaint kitchenette at the other end, which is nicely equipped with all of the amenities you’ll need to prepare delicious meals during your stay. There’s also a dining table for four off the kitchen, which sets the scene for social dinners that stretch long into the night.

When night falls, the lodge has two ensuite bedrooms, which ensure plenty of privacy and comfort. One bedroom has a fabulous double bed, whilst the other has two twins, ensuring you have lots of flexibility during your stay. The opulent ensuites feature big walk-in showers for added luxury.

The lodge also has a sun-trap terrace, offering a lovely spot to sit with a drink in the warmer months, and there’s even an enclosed garden, which is perfect for dog owners. And in summer months, fire up the BBQ and grill some delicious local produce before dining alfresco with your loved ones.

Hidden within the wild beauty of Scotland’s lowlands, Dunskey Estate is the ultimate retreat for those seeking luxury, adventure and a touch of magic. Spanning 2,000 acres of jaw-dropping countryside, this coastal sanctuary features an Edwardian castle, stylish lodges and uninterrupted views of land and sea.

Spend your days strolling pristine gardens, wandering enchanting woodland trails or tackling invigorating hikes. For the adventurous, there’s archery, axe throwing, clay pigeon shooting, fishing, kayaking and paddleboarding. If you fancy relaxing in style then be sure to unwind with a sauna, yoga or Swedish massage, then round off the day with a private beach bonfire or a falconry display.

Magical place. Uniquely decorated. Well stocked. Felt more like a hotel. Loved the outside bath. Did some loch swimming. Take insect repellent.
