There is a family bathroom, with overhead shower, and Utility Room with washing machine and tumble drier.
Beds are all made up, and towels are provided. So more space in your car!!

Our lodge is accessed up 2 steps, with handrail, onto a decked veranda. You are able to sit out and enjoy the countryside from this area, or choose to enjoy the garden and lochan, from the large decked area accessed from the lounge. Either is lovely.

Locally :-

Kippford is within a 15 minute stroll downhill, and offers two pub/restaurants, the Mariner and the Anchor, both serve lovely food, and there is nothing nicer than watching the sun go down over the yachts, admiring the surrounding countryside and enjoying a relaxing drink! Both allow dogs. There is a very active yacht club, the "Ark" shop. a local pottery, access to lots of walks, and shell beaches.
