We've just had our third visit to Rascarrel Bay and honestly, we're already planning our next trip! It truly feels like a little slice of heaven. The stunning views, the calm atmosphereand the walks right from the doorstep are perfect. The lodge has everything we need - comfy beds, fluffy towelsand a lovely dressing gown. The hot tub is a real highlight; it's checked daily and always perfect. Love it here!
Sarah
Our stay at Rascarrel Bay was fantastic! The lodge felt really cosy, with all the essentials we needed. Being by the Solway Firth meant total peace and quiet. It's our third visitand we're already planning to return next year!
Charlotte
This place is perfect for relaxing, with beautiful views and a calm, peaceful atmosphere all around.
Clara
Honestly, this spot is perfect for a chilled-out escape. There are just nine cosy cabins tucked away in a stunning bay overlooking the Solway, which makes it super peaceful. The cabins are spotless and well-equipped - honestly, they've thought of everything. It's mainly couples and their pets staying here, which adds to the calm vibe. There are some lovely eateries nearby, plus the farm shops are worth a visit if you're into local produce. Great for unwinding and taking it slow!
Emma
Loved the peaceful vibe and stunning scenery from the lodge. Perfect escape from busy life, would definitely recommend for anyone needing to unwind and relax!
Emma Carter
Beautiful lodge, peaceful atmosphere, breathtaking sights.
Sam T.
We had an amazing stay! The walking was safe and off leadand the area was full of interesting sights. The local shop served great foodand the wildlife was plentiful. The lodge was warm and welcoming, with thoughtful touches for our dog, like biscuits and a towel. Brilliant experience!
Emma T.
We've stayed here quite a few times now and always find it spotlessly clean, like a real home from home. The peaceful vibe is lovelyand the beds are super comfy. The kitchen's got everything we needand any problems are sorted quickly. The hot tub's always immaculate too-really well looked after! Would definitely come back.
Emma
Honestly, this place exceeded our expectations! The photos don't quite capture how lovely it is in person. It's super clean, comfyand well-stocked with everything we needed. The hot tub was such a treat, always spotless thanks to daily cleaning. We loved having two smart TVs for streaming, made relaxing even better. The local shop and café are adorable, with great coffee, pizzaand cakes-perfect for a quick snack. The owners were easy to contact and really helpful. Definitely a five-star stay!
Emma
We had a lovely stay! The views were stunningand the enclosed patio was perfect for our dog. The cottage was spotless and had all the gear we needed, including some thoughtful touches for our pet. The walks right outside were beautifuland the place felt really private. Definitely recommend!
James
Really enjoyed the stay! The lodges are stunning and cosy, with fantastic views everywhere. The hot tub was a real highlight, can't wait to come back!
Emily
We had an amazing stay! The peaceful surroundings were just what we neededand the wildlife was incredible. The kids loved it so much, we've already booked again for next year!
James
Honestly, the website doesn't quite capture how lovely the place really is. There's loads of brochures and info leaflets about the local spots, which was handy. The owners kept things discreetand the quality of the fittings was top-notch. Plus, we got in early, which made everything smoother. Usually, I don't bother with these surveys, but this was worth it!
Emma
We had a lovely time, it was perfect to unwind and leave all stress behind. Looking forward to coming back soon!
Martin
Comfortable stay
Emma J.
We've stayed here twice now and love it. The lodge is super clean, well-equippedand offers stunning views. Perfect for privacy and peaceful walks too.
Alex
We stayed here again and it was just as lovely as before. The lodge is spotless, super comfyand has all the essentials. The setting is stunning - right by the water, where we spotted lots of birds, a sealand even deer nearby in the mornings. Definitely recommend this place for a peaceful getaway!
Emma
We stayed in Platinum 4 at the far end of the lodgesand it was pretty fantastic. The place is super dog-friendly, with a secure patio where our pup could relax while we enjoyed the hot tub. Waking up to the sound of waves and seeing the sea was lovely. We also got lucky with clear views of the Lakes and even spotted the wind turbines a few days. Definitely recommend!
