We’ve stayed at Platinum 2 Lodge for the third year runningand honestly, it’s just as lovely as the first time. The lodge looks stunning both inside and outside, always impeccably maintained. The view is absolutely breathtaking - so peaceful and calming. Plus, it’s great that they’re super pet friendlyand the owners really go out of their way for the furry friends. We’ll definitely be back again soon, no doubt about it!

We arrived to a super clean lodge with some thoughtful gifts for us and our dog, which was lovely! The enclosed space made it perfect for taking our furry friend along. The cosy seating area in the centre was a nice touch. We spent plenty of time relaxing in the hot tub, staring at the sea view-absolutely stunning. The nearby shop in the village was handyand Tesco in Castle Douglas was just a short drive away. Everything we needed was there, making it a really great stay!

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 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.

Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD

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...
