About this property

Skylark Lodge - A Fabulous and very comfortable seaside log chalet, a minutes walk from the beach an

Skylark Lodge, is one of three unique and very comfortable lodges set in a stunning and enviable position a minute's walk from the beach. Skylark, Curlew and Lapwing each have their own space and privacy as they are set in about half and acre of landscaped ground which runs down to the beach so lots of room for outside BBQs and games of football. they are on the Arbigland Estate which is a national scenic area and a site of special scientific interest (fossils on the beach tell of it's history. Skylark is light and spacious inside with a large open plan living area with a cosy woodburning stove for winter evenings (though heating is provided!). In the summer throw open the french doors and watch the sun setting over Criffel (our local mountain) . Lovely views and great walks straight from the door so very popular with both couples and families, (or take all three lodges for a large family gathering or bring some friends). A 10 minute walk along the beach is a great pub that does good food. We get lots of repeat bookings from people who enjoy this very special bit of the Dumfries and Galloway countryside, the wildlife, the scenery, the birdlife (we are between two important bird sanctuaries - Mersehead and Caerlavrock), the beach, mountain biking, the golf - to name but a few of the many nearby attractions. It is a totally unspoilt region that revels in it's uniqueness that also attracts many artists who draw on it for inspiration. It really is the perfect place to get away from it all. Once you've been, you'll want to come back!

Haus in sehr ruhiger Lage
Gute Ausgangslage für einfache Wanderungen. Sehr ruhige Umgebung aber dennoch ein Restaurant mit sehr fein zubereiteten Speisen in nächster Nähe! Haus zweckmässig aber mit allem Nötigen eingerichtet - warm und gemütlich!
