We stumbled upon this place and honestly, it's a little gem. The house was spotless and really well maintained, with stunning views that made our mornings. If you're after some peace and quietand enjoy a good hike, this is spot on. When we arrived, there were chocolates, wineand flowers waiting - such a lovely touch! Even our dogs got a treat, which was a nice surprise. We're already planning to come back because there's so much more to explore that we didn't manage in just a week. Thanks for a wonderful stay - we loved it!

Beautiful lodge in such a quiet spot. Felt really safe and relaxed. Our two cockers loved the walks - they had a fantastic week. We'll be back!

Matthew

We had an amazing holiday in what was without doubt a luxury holiday lodge. The lodge simply had everything you could wish for. We loved sitting out in the covered porch area and taking in the amazing view. The week was very special for us and the owners left a lovely welcome package on our arrival. The walk to Balcary Bay via Loch Mackey was one oRead moref our favourites and we were able to get some fantastic food from the nearby Auchencairn Village Store. Would wholeheartedly recommend Hide

Emma Reed

Honestly, this place is a real gem. The view over the sea is stunning and it's so serene, we barely wanted to leave the lodge. We only ventured out once to explore nearby walks, which our dog loved too. The lodge itself is spotless, cosyand has everything you could possibly need. Having breakfast on the enclosed decking with the sound of waves was such a treat. Thanks for the lovely wine, flowersand treats - we're already booked again for next year!

Emma Carter

Honestly, this holiday exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, the views took our breath away - so peaceful and beautiful, it's like nowhere else. The lodge was spotless, practically brand newand the owners really thought of everything to make it perfect. It's also super safe for dogs, which was a huge plus. We've come back feeling completely relaxed and happy. Definitely planning to return soon. Thanks a lot for such a lovely break!

Simon

We had a fantastic time at Platinum 1 Rascarrel Bay! The lodges are really comfy and offer plenty of privacy. If you're after a remote yet accessible spot, this is definitely the place to be.

Laura

The lodge is absolutely wonderful! Even though the weather was a bit all over the place, we really made the most of our time away. It was so well equipped that it has set a very high standard which will be tough to beat. It's like a doggy paradiseand we enjoyed plenty of the lovely surrounding walks. The location is stunning and the views are simply outstanding. Just a heads up, it's a bit isolated, so be prepard to drive if you're looking for more than coastal walks.

Oliver

We had an excellent stay! The lodge was of a really high standard, the location was perfectand the cleanliness was spot on. Can't fault it at all!

Lily

What a fantastic location and amazing accommodation! The cabin and hot tub were spotless. We had a lovely, relaxing weekend for our wedding anniversary. The cabin has everything you could possibly need. There were so many thoughtful extrasand everything is of the highest standards. You can really tell the owners have gone above and beyond with the presentation and upkeep. We've stayed in quite a few cabinsand this one is by far our favourite. My only complaint would be having to leave this little gem of a place.
