Driftwood Coastal Retreat | Stunning UK Hot Tub Break

About Driftwood Coastal Retreat

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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 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...
