Escape from the hustle and bustle - tick. Beautiful country side, beaches and walks on the doorstep - tick. Stunning wildlife from the comfort of your sofa - tick. So much to explore in the local area tick. All whilst staying in an exceptional and original log cabin, with all home comforts and a cosy log burner for those winter breaks.
Cumstoun Lodge is a genuine log cabin on a small private site. It stands in its own woodland garden and features just about everything you could need for a relaxing holiday or as a centre for an active break. It sleeps six in three bedrooms; one double, one twin, one with bunk beds - see the Lodge Layout page for more detail.
There is a comfortable open-plan living area with a wood burner , well-equipped kitchen, spacious outside area with seating, plenty of parking and safe space for small people to play. The countryside is right outside your window with the neighbours including deer, red squirrels, badgers, buzzards & other birds.
The beach at Sandyhills Bay (which welcomes dogs), the forest, golf, shop, restaurant/bar are all within holiday walking distance and the town of Dalbeattie or Colvend village are both just a short drive away.
It's a great place from which to explore the historic Galloway region, or just sit back, enjoy the view and watch the world go by whatever the season.
Not to mention an ideal location for anyone interested in golf, walking (coast, hill or forest), wildlife, sailing, mountain biking, fishing, horse riding or any of the many other delights of South West Scotland.

Perfect Christmas holiday! The host, Moyra, was so kind and responsive. The lodge was just lovely with a wood burning stove with plenty of logs/kindling, beautifully furnished throughout, great heaters, comfy beds, fully equipped kitchen, great bathroom with nice shower and all absolutely spotless. Our dog, Jack, enjoyed squirrel, badger and deer TV through the sliding windows in the living room! The views were great and it's close to Dalbeattie Forest which has lovely trails and Sandyhills Beach. Just perfect!
Really well resourced kitchen, everything you need for a lovely getaway.Clean, warm and cozy, a lovely few days awayThe hosts are very welcoming and communicative
Lovely and peaceful lodge, host was quick to respond to any message and the property was immaculately clean. We loved our stay and hope to return to see the masses of birds in the garden and the badgers who visited nightly. We lived our daily dog walk in the beach across the road also.

About the host
Hosted by Moyra & Greg Mould
We live just outside Cambridge but both have Scottish roots. We visited family in the area 20+ years ago and stumbled across this property. We have been renting it and using it for family holidays ever since.
Why they chose this property
The Solway Coast, aka the Scottish Riveria has its own micro climate where we miss the worst of the weathers. Meaning whilst a large part of Scotland can be wet, very wet we will still be experiencing dry and sunny weather.
The proximity of beaches, woodland walks and stunning countryside makes the location very appealing.
What makes this property unique
Our property is a genuine log cabin, offering a complete getaway from it all. Close enough to everything but quiet enough to truly escape. Perfect for families or older couples looking to relax.
