This idyllic lodge sits amongst the trees in the wee coastal village of Sandyhills, just 0.5 miles from its spectacular, sandy beach. Sleeping six guests, this sociable, single-storey retreat makes a great base for families and groups of friends looking to explore the breathtaking Dumfries and Galloway landscape. You’ll find exhilarating coastal walks directly from the property and nearby days out include the historic town of Dumfries (18.5 miles) and the foodie haven of Castle Douglas (12.5 miles).

The warm and inviting lodge has a sociable, open-plan layout for spending quality time with friends and family. The beautiful, wood-clad interior creates an alpine vibe, while plush soft furnishings and creature comforts ensure your stay is as relaxed as possible. All the accommodation is arranged across one level.

The spacious lounge/diner has an impressive vaulted ceiling and natural light flows in through the large windows and glass doors, which frame tranquil views of the surrounding woodland. Spend time here, watching your favourite movie on the Smart TV and sharing family mealtimes at the table by the window. An adjacent kitchen has everything you need to rustle up hearty breakfasts and delicious dinners for the group. The property has three inviting bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room. A refreshing family bathroom completes this coastal retreat.

Outside, unwind on the decked balcony overlooking the enclosed garden, listening to the sounds of the birds in the surrounding trees.

We had a fantastic break at Driftwood lodge. The accommodation is cozy and very comfortable and is so well equipped with everything. The hot tub is luxurious and great fun to relax in and is so well maintained. We enjoyed short drives to the coastal villages for nice walks and pub grub. The Deer park safari next door is a must visit and great valueRead more for money. The Steamboat Inn was our favourite meal. Great communication by owners who provided a lovely welcome pack, a nice touch. Hide

This is a beautiful, peaceful location and a well appointed and well equipped lodge. Very comfortable living and sleeping accomodation. The hot tub is a great bonus and perfect for stargazing on a clear night. The nearby deer park is a must visit on the deer safari and the cafe is great too. The pub onsite provided acceptable pub grub and some enteRead morertainment and always a warm welcome. Wed also recommend the Steamboat inn for lunch (circa 10 mins drive away) We had a great holiday here. Thank you Hide
