Emma
We stayed in this lodge for a week and honestly, it had everything we needed - towels, dressing gowns, a hair dryerand all the kitchen essentials, including a microwave and even a separate wine fridge! The place was so peacefuland the views were stunning. It's a bit remote, so no nearby shops or pubs in Castle Douglas, but if you're after a quiet, relaxing getaway, this is definitely the spot. We loved it and would go back for sure!

We had such a lovely stay at Rascarrel Bay! The lodge was spotless and really well stocked, with super fluffy towels and cosy dressing gowns.

We've stayed here twice now and honestly, we'll be back for sure. The lodge is well-equipped with everything you need for a restful break. Even with the weather being a bit rubbish during our visit, it didn't ruin anything. The views from the lodge and the hot tub are truly stunningand we made good use of the hot tub, rain or shine - it's such a treat! Just a heads up for newcomers: there aren't any pubs or shops nearby on foot, so plan ahead. Definitely recommend!

We had a lovely stay at the lodge! It truly felt like a cosy home away from home, with stunning views that made mornings special. Everything was spotless and well-equippedand it was so nice to arrive to a warm place. Just a heads up, the nearest shop is about 20 minutes away, but Dalbeattie was a lively spot with a good pub nearby.
