Embrace the great outdoors at this 1900s lodge set in a secluded coastal estate in Scotland’s lowlands, fringing Portpatrick. With two lochs for boating, wild swimming, hiking, maze running, wildlife tracking, yoga, and beach picnics all up for grabs, there’s plenty to keep you busy here. Although with a breakfast welcome hamper stuffed with local produce and swoon-worthy interiors back at the lodge, what’s the big rush? And you can easily have a night off cooking here with ready-to-eat meals delivered from the estate’s kitchen – you are on holiday, after all.
