Fantastic lodge, very well equipped and exceptionally clean. Truly Beautiful setting, we absolutely loved it, was very sad to leave! We ate at Mr Pooks in Castle Douglas, worth a visit. Also a little gem, the Auchencairn community shop, we had a good toastie there one lunchtime and they also fish and chips on a Monday. Worth messaging them as they do other takeaway nights, and its only a few minutes up the road. Dont forget to do the Raiders road Forrest drive! Lots of places to stop!

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...
