Brian

Fabulous lodge in a fantastic location! We wanted accommodation that was high quality and somewhere we could relax after a busy time in our lives. Platinum 2 did not disappoint. Our original plan was to visit some of the well known tourist places that were within a short drive, but once settled, we decided that we were happy just staying at the lodRead morege, and taking our dog for walks along the rugged coastline. The weather was not the best, but that did not prevent us having a fabulous stay. Hide

Absolutely fantastic week at Rascarrel Bay and so very dog friendly too. The lodge had all that we needed for a super relaxing break but you do need a car to get around.

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.

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...
