Our week long stay in the lodge was marked by probably being the wettest and windy week of this year. Despite the weather we had a great time watching the massive sea waves crashing just a few metres away from the lodge, the sea birds struggling to fly into the wind and a red kite circling over the beach area. Castle Douglas also proved to be a greRead moreat location for eating out so I would happily recommend the lodges for a relaxing do not a lot holiday. Hide

The Lodge is immaculate and has everything that you need and more. The Lodge is lovely and comfortable and the location and views are superb with lovely walks. We spent a long weekend here for our 25th wedding anniversary and felt sad leaving on Monday, and will most definitely book again in the future.

If you want the only sounds to be the waves and seagulls this is the place for you. A very relaxing time, nice walks, lovely lodge, everything you need, the wine, flowers and chocolates were an added bonus.

The 6th time at No.1 or No.2 lodge and always a pleasure to be there. Knowing everything is provided and spotless, so we can just move in. Recommend the Auchencairn Store, 5 min drive, for all provisions, freshly baked sourdough bread, cakes, etc., organic items, fresh veg and includes cafe. Plus booked takeaways of brilliant pizza, curries (frozenRead more ones available) and fish and chips. Fri, Sat, Mon evenings in winter - more at other times.
