Enjoy a luxurious family break in this sumptuous and stylish single-storey chalet property.  Relax in the fantastic private hot tub in a private setting and admire the splendid woodland wildlife  

Come home to a warm and welcoming timber lodge after a great day out on the wide golden sands of dog-friendly Sandyhills beach, a half a mile stroll away. This cosy retreat, set in peaceful woodland, is perfect for dog-loving families or friends seeking a tranquil holiday retreat. It sleeps six guests, together with two furry friends, and there are wonderfully scenic coastal walks and forest trails nearby to enjoy together.

Light flows into the open-plan living space from large windows and doors giving lovely views of the surrounding greenery. Curl up on comfortable sofas before the flame-effect fire while your canine companions snooze on their blanket. The all-white dining area is a delightful spot to share a meal together, and the compact kitchen, also all white, has everything you need to get cooking. There are three charming bedrooms; a king-size with an en-suite walk-in shower room, and two twins, served by a well-appointed family bathroom. Cushions, lamps, and pictures complete the home-from-home atmosphere. Outside, a decked balcony overlooks an enclosed garden – the perfect spot for a tranquil morning cuppa.

Head for the beach to enjoy doggy races across the sand, safe swimming and exploring spooky Piper’s Cave at low tide. Pack a picnic, stock up at the shop, or eat out in the beach-side family-friendly restaurant, with an adjoining bar where pets are welcome. Stretch paws and legs on the coastal path towards Rockliffe, with spectacular views across the Solway Firth. Dalbeattie Forest (6 miles) has a network of beautiful lochside and woodland trails for walkers and cyclists, along with world class routes for mountain bike enthusiasts. Other attractions on the doorstep include Colvend Golf Course and a family-run riding stable with treks and lessons for all abilities.

We had a fantastic break at Driftwood lodge. The accommodation is cozy and very comfortable and is so well equipped with everything. The hot tub is luxurious and great fun to relax in and is so well maintained. We enjoyed short drives to the coastal villages for nice walks and pub grub. The Deer park safari next door is a must visit and great valueRead more for money. The Steamboat Inn was our favourite meal. Great communication by owners who provided a lovely welcome pack, a nice touch. Hide

This is a beautiful, peaceful location and a well appointed and well equipped lodge. Very comfortable living and sleeping accomodation. The hot tub is a great bonus and perfect for stargazing on a clear night. The nearby deer park is a must visit on the deer safari and the cafe is great too. The pub onsite provided acceptable pub grub and some enteRead morertainment and always a warm welcome. Wed also recommend the Steamboat inn for lunch (circa 10 mins drive away) We had a great holiday here. Thank you Hide
