Rascarrel Bay Lodge 2 Reviews

Amanda
Just an amazing place to stay. Relaxing and away from it all - just pure heaven. The views and sunrises are wonderful, and the lodge is so cosy and homely. Our 2nd time visiting and we will definitely be back again.
Joan
Love these cottages! TBH this isn't for folks who want active holidays, there is walking, quiet and the sea which is just what I wanted. It is remote, so be prepared to drive as there are no supermarkets, shops, restaurants etc. Not a bad thing, just be prepared.
Juliet
Beautiful lodge, very clean and well maintained. Take your own food, there are no nice eating places for miles!
Jillian
Beautiful inside and out. So peaceful great views from walking in the door with fresh flowers wine and chocolates on arrival what more could you want.
Steve
High quality lodge in a beautiful location. Fully equipped and very comfortable with a lovely, welcoming surprise. Hot tub is a nice touch and very relaxing.
Ruth
What a wonderful place to stay lodge 2 was. We were able to chill and relax and watch the wildlife, including deer, hare, rabbits, birds and a seal family.
Catherine
A different lodge this year equally as good with a slightly different view .Enjoyed our stay very relaxing hope to be back next year .
Raymond
Ideal situation for anyone wanting an away from it all break, if you dont mind the remoteness and a bit of a bumpy access road . The lodge is perfect, quiet, with spectacular views across the Solway Firth to Cumbria on a clear day. We even had a brief visit from a roe deer, just a few metres from the lodge. Visited twice last year, and once ( so fRead morear ! ) this year. We think that says it all, cant wait to return. Hide
Frank
Our second year we have been in the lodge and will be back next year very lucky Weather was simply tropical. Owners very nice and helpful retired from work now do you do discounts for pensioners

Great location set in a beautiful rural location with access to walks and outstanding natural beauty nearby. The accommodation has everything you need and is ideally positioned next to the sea which provides a greta backdrop. The owners are great and available nearby should you need!
Jackie
Had a great time very relaxing. Lovely walks Very clean and welcoming
Nigel
Our second visit and enjoyed every minute again. Lovely cabin, spotless and all the things you need are provided.
Julie
Owners are lovely, views are great, property spotlessly clean, owners have thought of everything that you may need. Peaceful and relaxing location for a break from everyday life. Will definitely book again.
Mary
This stunning cottage was 5 star all the way. Very private, with everything you needed and some lovely touches. Flowers and sweets with wine on our arrival. Everything you could ever need and the view as good as the cottage. Will definitely be back
Khansa
Absolutely stunning and such a good value for money. Don't even have to leave the lodge when there's a view like that outside your window!
Jill
Second time visiting and loved it as much. Sitting looking out on the view in all weathers is wonderful and in the hot tub looking at the stars with a glass or two is even better. The lodge is exceptional well equipped down to the little things which I always take to self catering places but do not need here eg salt and pepper, kitchen roll, bacofo il etc. we will certainly be back.
Wendy
We love staying at Lodge No 2 and always have a really restful and relaxing time. It is immaculately clean and very well equipped for an enjoyable holiday, whatever the weather. The hot tub is wonderful and we really appreciate the level of cleanliness with it being checked every morning. Thank you to the owners for the lovely arrival gifts and als o to the cleaning team who really do make the lodge sparkle. We will definitely be returning next year.
Amanda
Heaven! We had such an amazing weeks stay. The lodge and location were just perfect. You feel relaxed from the moment you arrive. I was wanting to move all our furniture in to permanently stay by the end of it. We have already booked again for next year!! Thank you for a fabulous time!!
Raymond
Beautiful location, quiet, parking next to lodge, site security good - keypad access and night lights. Farm track from main road requires some large holes filled in. Lodge very cosy, all lodge facilities worked with useful manuals for guidance, if needed. Suggestions on restaurants to visit plus local maps good. Ideal for anyone wanting to get away from it all, our second visit, in 6 months, the second as good as the first.
Janet
Beautiful place to stay but the water issue should be mentioned in the booking ( luckily we took bottle water ) shops are a car journey away and to eat somewhere decent its a 10 mile drive ( we didnt mind as we also live rurally ) the walks and views were amazing
Les
A great place to go and relax. Spotlessly clean, well equipped. Will be booking again for next year.
Fiona
If you are looking for total luxury and relaxation, then this is the place! Rascarrel Bay lodge 2 was absolutely perfect for us to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. From our arrival to us sadly leaving, it was an amazing holiday. The lodge is spotlessly clean with everything in it you could ever need. The arrival gifts were a lovely surprise and it was so relaxing sitting in the hot tub looking out over the Solway Firth. Thank you. We shall certainly be back!
Frank
Enjoyable break
Elaine
Its a stunning lodge.
Alan
Very easy, well informed booking and arrival information. A fantastic cottage, in a lovey setting was very clean, comfortable and relaxing, with all the amenities required. We will definitely be returning.
Simon
Beautiful lodge, location & view, even in the stormiest weather. Not the most convenient place for shops & tourist attractions, be prepared to travel.
Judith
Fabulous location, wonderfully quiet with great views and lots of wildlife. First rate accommodation.
Roger
Our 4th stay at Rascarrel Bay Lodges and we are never disappointed. We will be back, you can be sure of that! Totally loved it...
Raymond
If you're after a quiet, peaceful holiday, with beautiful scenery on the doorstep, you can't find anything better. The accommodation is superb, absolutely spotless, with everything you can possibly need, plus a few extras! A lovely vase of fresh flowers, a little box of delicious chocolates, a small packet of scrumptious fudge, a rather nice bottle of wine ( already chilled in a wine cooler), and a pint of milk, plus some bottled water to set us off - what a welcoming start. Reluctant to leave
Jean
Absolutely loved our two weeks at Rascarrel Bay Lodge 2. The scenery is out of this world. You got the feeeling of being on another planet! Exemplary cleaning regime. It's the first holiday rental where the windows and verandah glass is cleaned after each letting. Such pleasant owners too. A great credit for all their hard work in keeping the lodge s in such prestine condition. Thanks to the McTaggart family for their hospitality and Holiday Cottages for advertising the properties.
David
I would recommend The Rascarrel Bay luxury lodge without hesitation
Margaret
2nd visit and loved it just as much as previous visit. Easy arrival, lovely welcome treats, accommodation immaculate. Very cosy for February even in the storms. The view is spectacular and in our opinion cant be beaten, a forever changing canvas just wonderful.
Ann Elizabeth
So clean just how I like it and the most beautiful location ok its in the middle of Nowhere and for couples only I really liked that too
Jill
Perfect 5 days - views from the lodge are amazing - sunrise and sunset beautiful. The lodge is exactly what is described - immaculately clean and equipped with some lovely little touches for when you arrive. Would recommend for a very relaxing break with great walks on your doorstep. Thank you.
Anne
A lovely lodge in a beautiful setting.
Gillian
Fabulous little lodge with amazing views, great walks and clean 5 star facilities. Would definitely return
Laura
We had a lovely stay in lodge 2. The lodges are fantastic with everything you need and a lovely little welcome gift on arrival. Beautiful setting with amazing views and sunrises. Walk straight from the door around the bays or venture out in the car to some lovely places. We had a problem with our hot tub on the first night but Fiona came straight d own to try and rectify this. Super helpful and friendly owners. Would definitely recommend the lodges for a relaxing stay away from it all.
Alan
This is a luxurious and extremely comfortable place to stay. On arrival we found the lodge to be spotlessly clean and it was clear that Covid protocols were being adhered to, which was reassuring. In terms of equipment there is really everything you might need and the generous welcome pack was appreciated. The Lodge is situated, almost literally on the shore, and offers fantastic views across the Solway. The location is ideal for exploring the coast and countryside of Galloway.

Castle Douglas - DG7 1TJ

We also recommend a visit to Castle Douglas and the Treasure Hunt Treasure Trails. These treasure hunts are great fun for the whole family and are an entertaining way to explore a new town or village. Children will enjoy solving the clues whilst learning about the history of the area. The walking trail is suitable for wheelchair users and those with pushchairs so no one is left out of the fun.
Laggan Outdoor - DG7 3NQ

An outdoor activity center suitable for families. Featuring one of Europe's longest zip wires, jeep driving, grass sledging, archery, outdoor scooters. A mix of fun and adreneline rides and a lot more.

Mabie Farm Park - DG2 8EZ
about 17 Miles
Mabie Farm Park is a firm favourite. Ideal for families with younger children ,this family oriented farm park has lots of animals to meet and also offers Donkey Rides, Paddle Boats and Slides as well as Trampolines and Bouncy Castles. Kids can run around on the Soft Play Area while mum and dad relax in the Tea Room. There is also a Farm Shop onsite selling toys, gifts and fresh local produce including cakes and jams. Seasonal activities can also be enjoyed including a spookly tea and walk on Haloween. The Farm closes for the winter on October 31st.
Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 27 Miles
We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
