Rascarrel Bay Lodge 1 Reviews

Oliver
The place was spotless and had everything we needed, all very high quality. Honestly, if you're after peace and incredible views, we'd definitely recommend staying here without a doubt.
Alex Morgan
We stayed in the lodge for a week and honestly, the weather was pretty terrible with constant rain and strong winds. Despite that, it was still a cracking experience, especially watching those huge waves crash just outside and seeing the sea birds battling the wind. We even spotted a red kite soaring overhead, which was pretty special. Castle Douglas turned out to be a lovely spot for food, so overall, I'd recommend these lodges if you're after a chilled out break, even if the weather's not perfect!
Alex Harper
We randomly stumbled upon Rascarrel Bay Lodge while browsing and ended up having a fantastic stay. The weather was exceptionally warm and dry in early September, but honestly, we think this place would be great any time of year. It's a perfect base for exploring the area, with handy supply points nearby. The highlight? The sunrise was absolutely breathtaking! We left feeling relaxed and eager to come back again.
Emily
Really impressed again! The lodge's cleanliness is spot onand the peaceful views are just lovely. Owners are genuinely friendly and helpful, making the whole stay very relaxing indeed.
Tom Harris
We've stayed at Rascarrel Bay Lodges three times nowand it's always a fantastic escape. The peaceful surroundings, watching birds and the sea for hours, really helps us unwind. Fiona and her family have thought of everything to make our stay comfy. The lodge is lovely and perfectly located. We're already planning our next visit-can't wait to return!
Emma
