Amazing experience!

We had such a lovely week, we were already thinking of coming back before we even left! The location is perfect, with stunning coastlines nearby. The lodge was spotless, spaciousand well-equipped. The outside hot tub was a real treat-so well looked after, perfect for unwinding while gazing at the sea and sky. The owner was friendly and discreet. Highly recommend it!
Emma
This lodge genuinely stands out as one of the best we've stayed in recently. Everything from the furnishings to the bedding and towels feels top-notch. We especially enjoyed the hot tub after a long day. It's a bit remote, so bring all you need. We're already looking forward to visiting again in the summer to enjoy the outdoor area more!
Emma
Absolutely loved our stay! The lodge felt so warm and inviting, perfect for chilling out. The sunrise views are stunningand it's just the right escape from busy life. We've been here twice now and already planning our next visit!

We really enjoyed these cottages! Perfect if you're after peace and quiet, with lovely sea views. It's quite remote, so be ready to drive for essentials since there's no shops or restaurants nearby. It's exactly what we needed for a relaxing escape. Just a heads-up!

Lovely lodge, super tidy and well looked after. Bring your own snacks as food options are quite far away!

Lodge 2 was such a lovely spot! We really enjoyed unwinding, watching wildlife like deer, hares, rabbits, birdsand even a seal family. It's perfect for a peaceful getaway.
Emma
Loved the lodge again this year, even with a different view. Very relaxing stay, hope to return next year for more peaceful getaways!
Oliver
Honestly, this place is a real good place for anyone craving peace and quiet. The access road is a bit bumpy, so don't expect smooth sailing, but once you're there, the lodge is just lovely - so peaceful with stunning views over the Solway Firth towards Cumbria on a clear day. We even had a roe deer stop by for a quick visit, which was amazing! We've been twice last year and once so far this yearand honestly, that says it all. Can't wait to come back!
David
We've stayed here for two years now and plan to come back again. The weather was absolutely tropical! The owners are lovely and really helpful. Do you offer any discounts for pensioners by the way?
Emma
What a lovely spot! The place is just as shown-immaculately clean and cosy. Perfect for unwinding away from all the hustle. Thanks so much!
Alex Harper
We loved the peaceful rural setting, perfect for walks and enjoying stunning nature right on the doorstep. The place had all the essentials and was right by the sea, which made for a lovely view. The owners were friendly and just nearby if we needed anything!
