We stayed in lodge 2 for the second time and have rebooked again we love it that much. The hot tub is cleaned after every guest and also gets checked every morning. We also love sitting in the sauna watching for wildlife in the sea. Inside you have everything you need with a comfortable bed and very large bathroom.

The weather forecast for the week we stayed at Rascarrel bay looked horrendous, heavy rain every day. We actually had clear blue sky's most of the week. It felt like we were in the Mediterranean, my husband got sunburnt! We saw a dolphin on the day we arrived, we watched him for 20 minutes from our cabin. The accommodation was clean and spaciousRead more, with everything you need. There was a lovely welcome pack, the chocolates were especially nice, we went and found the chocolate shop in Castle Douglas and bought more, the lemonchello chocolates are delicious. We had our large dog with us, plenty of places to walk him. The coffee shops we went to were all dog friendly We will definitely be visiting Rascarrel Bay again Hide

Excellent home from home facilities. Warm, cosy and very comfortable lodge. We used the hot tub and sauna daily. There was everything you needed on hand.

We stayed in cabin 2 and it was fabulous, well set up and in a fantastic position. We were there in February and where it was nestled into the hillside, made it quite protected. The welcome pack was really appreciated and made it special, everything you needed was in the kitchen and the cabin itself was spotless, with the comfiest bed we have everRead more been in. The views were gorgeous looking over the Solway to Cumbria. It was really quiet and chilled, but handy for visiting places around the area. Hide

However this holiday, my husband asked "what are you thinking about " for once I could reply nothing! Beautifully clean, views are amazing.

The lodge is superbly located, very well-equipped, very comfortable and a joy to stay in. We had hares and deer for company, the view is fantastic. Very safe parking next to the lodge. Very good places to eat in Kirkcudbright and excellent walks locally. Threave Estate well worth a visit, beautiful gardens.
