A wow lodge with a view to die for. Excellent facilities throughout the lodge and the outside space was excellent for an evening tipple. Enjoyed watching our neighbours (the cows) walking from field to field. Would recommend a trip to Glenwhan Gardens and had a lovely lunch in Port Patrick. All in all Dumfries & Galloway is a lovely area to visit
