We arrived to a super clean lodge with some thoughtful gifts for us and our dog, which was lovely! The enclosed space made it perfect for taking our furry friend along. The cosy seating area in the centre was a nice touch. We spent plenty of time relaxing in the hot tub, staring at the sea view-absolutely stunning. The nearby shop in the village was handyand Tesco in Castle Douglas was just a short drive away. Everything we needed was there, making it a really great stay!
