The perfect accommodation option for a romantic escape for two people - and their two canine companions - this bespoke lodge in a complex of properties on working farm offers breathtaking views of Rascarrel Bay. Your pups will adore having the freedom to explore the enclosed garden/patio as you and your other half soak up the incredible coastal views from the hot tub.

Climb a small flight of stairs, step inside this sleek and stylish detached lodge, and you’ll find yourself in a spacious hallway – the ideal place to store all of your dog-walking essentials. Move through to the spacious open-plan living room/kitchen/diner, and you’ll find that the floor to ceiling windows make the very most of the coastal views. Rustle up a romantic meal for two in the bespoke kitchen, where the soft mood-lighting will set the scene for the night ahead. If it’s a warm evening, step outside onto the patio area and dine alfresco while your pups enjoy the sniffing about the enclosed space. After dinner, take a dip in the private hot tub, enjoy a glass of wine on the decked area, or head to the living room, where you can curl up in front of a rom-com. When the day is done, there’s a fabulous king-size bedroom to retire to.

Surround your pups in the unspoiled natural beauty of Galloway Forest Park (25 miles). Featuring some glorious trails along glens, hills and lochs, tails will surely be wagging. Alternatively, head to the organic farm at Cream O’Galloway (19.5 miles), where you can sample a spectacular ice cream sundae. Your pups are welcome in the picnic areas, nature trails, garden and crazy golf course. There’s also an enclosed area where you can let them run off-leash.

This is a superb location with several lovely walks right from the lodge. Its peaceful, relaxing, and offers beautiful views whether youre unwinding indoors or enjoying the outdoor space. The lodge is exceptionally well equipped and benefits from excellent heating, making it comfortable in all weather conditions. Weve returned for the past threeRead more years, which speaks for itself. Having already enjoyed a stay at the end of May this year, were looking forward to returning again in July for another week. Highly recommended. Hide

The cottage is perfectly located just 50 metres from the sea. There are plenty of walks directly from the lodge. Internally the cottage is 5 star, very comfortable and everything provided. Weve stayed in the same lodge three times already and intend to go back next year.
