Escape to the Isle of Whithorn as a couple or small family and enjoy memorable moments and cosy nights during a long or short stay in this superb coastal retreat. This bespoke wooden lodge is located just 200 metres from the sea, only a few minutes’ walk from an undisturbed rocky beach that’s perfect for wild swimming. The charming village of Isle of Whithorn lies just 1.5 miles away and is home to a picturesque harbour, an ancient church, a tearoom, and a traditional country pub. Nearby attractions include the Galloway Astronomy Centre (6 miles), where you can admire the dark skies of the Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park, and the seafront St Medan Golf Club (9 miles). A little further afield, the picturesque town of Wigtown (13 miles) - Scotland’s National Book Town - offers around 15 independent bookshops and hosts an annual literary festival.

This bespoke wood-panelled lodge is brimming with cosy character and provides a wonderful space to relax and unwind. Set on a peaceful site alongside a handful of similar lodges, each property enjoys its own sense of privacy and seclusion. Step inside to discover an open-plan living space thoughtfully designed to make the most of every inch. A comfortable sofa sits opposite a drop-leaf dining table - a clever space-saving feature in this bijou retreat - while a wall-mounted Smart TV provides entertainment. The compact kitchen is lightly equipped with everything needed to prepare simple meals during your stay. Two bedrooms lead off the main living area: one king-size room and one cosy bunk bedroom with 2’6” bunks ideally suited to younger guests. A modern shower room completes the interior.

Outside, make the most of the lodge’s private outdoor space. An elevated deck with outdoor seating and a fire pit creates the perfect setting for relaxing evenings, enhanced by festoon lighting and colour-changing uplighters. Tucked around the corner, the wood-fired hot tub offers a secluded spot for luxurious relaxation. Guests also have access to shared gardens and private parking for one car.

Wonderful peaceful stay at the beautiful Ivy cabin with beautiful views. Super clean, with everything needed for a few days away with our girls. Perfect for a family of 4. The accommodation is on the edge of a farm, so the girls loved seeing the cows everyday We would highly recommend and the hot tub was an added bonus.

A lovely chilled weekend spent with my husband. The pod/cabin had everything we needed in it, including a well stocked kitchen with untensils ect. It was spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished. The host Gillian was very welcoming and available if we needed her. The hot tub was a great addition. Would defo recommend and we will be back!

Ivy lodge was very cosy and spotlessly clean and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The views from the terrace were beautiful as was the surrounding countryside. The hosts were very friendly and ever so helpful with local tips and advice. We would definitely return.
