Driftwood Coastal Retreat Reviews

Jane
The Lodge was really well situated for days out, well furnished, the hot tub was relaxing and ideal on a cold wet evening as it was partially undercover, the hamper was a lovely touch, the Pub food was fantastic. We went early November and found that most of the restaurants and Take aways closed on a Tuesday including the Pub on site but we had greRead moreat few days away. Hide
Kathleen
Loved it, the lodge was idyllic and set in gorgeous natural surroundings. The hot tub was always a perfect end to a day of sight seeing, lovely wind down together with the Welcome Basket containg fizz and a beer. Perfect. Could not fault this accommodation.
Stuart
This lodge / cottage is outstanding. Very well kept and everything you need is catered for in the property. The location is fantastic for walks on the beach or nearby forests. We had a great holiday with our wee dog Ernie who loved all the walks.
Margaret
Excellent lodge and location, really cosy and private. The owner couldn't have been more helpful. Very dog friendly location, literally nextdoor to The Beagle Country Inn which serves excellent food and only 10 minutes walk from a lovely sandy beach.
Vicky
Beautifully appointed lodge with everything you could possibly need. All the furnishings were stylish and new, the beds super comfy and the whole lodge spotlessly clean. We loved the thoughtfulness of the owners who kindly provided a welcome basket to get us started. Located at the edge of the site with woodland views and lots of birdlife. Hot tub Read morefantastic in the evening. 5 mins walk from sandy beach & within easy reach of lots of tourist attractions. Would recommend Steamboat Inn for food. Hide
Adriana
We had a lovely stay at the well equiped Driftwood Lodge. Surrounded by squirrels, badgers and birds our family of four had a great time
Linda
Lovely lodge in lovely location. Had everything we needed. Very comfortable beds. Great to have choice of places to sit outside. Didnt realise it was located on a complex but so well spaced and quiet that it didnt matter at all. Even had badgers and foxes to watch. Loved this area of Scotland and will be back. Thank you.
Claire
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
Paul
Fantastic, relaxing break. Location was perfect, very quiet but with the option of the pub 50 yards away for food, drink or quiz. 10 min walk to the beach, lots of rabbits to see and beautiful views. Would recommend it particularly for families with dogs

Gorgeous cabin, pictures don't do it justice, really lovely, cosy, modern, spacious and hot tub was great, lovely area, peaceful and huge beach, and the Beagle pub had some nice food and literally 1 min walk from Lodge, really enjoyed it.

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.

Castle Douglas - DG7 1TJ
about 8 Miles
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.
Mabie Farm Park - DG2 8EZ
about 10 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.
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.

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 24 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...
