Indulge in a refined coastal retreat on the Dumfries and Galloway coastline, staying in this exceptional holiday home where up to six guests and two dogs can make themselves at home. This stunning abode sits just 100 metres from Mossyard Beach, known for its unique Mossyard Millennium Labyrinth rock formation and sweeping views across Castle Douglas Bay. The nearby town of Castle Douglas (18 miles) is well worth a visit, famed for its excellent eateries and specialist food shops, making it a haven for food lovers. Closer to home, the towns of Gatehouse of Fleet (5.5 miles) and Kirkcudbright (12.5 miles) offer classic market town charm, with the latter renowned for its artistic heritage and links to the Glasgow Boys. For outdoor pursuits, head to the Galloway Forest Park (9 miles) for walking, cycling, and wildlife spotting, or venture to Loch Ken (22.5 miles) for a range of exhilarating water sports.

Thoughtfully designed with a soft nautical aesthetic, this single-storey property (accessed via three steps) perfectly complements its coastal setting. One of several luxury lodges on the complex, the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is positioned to make the most of the sea views, creating a calming space to relax and unwind. Enjoy leisurely breakfasts at the dining table while gazing out towards the water, or settle into the comfortable seating in the lounge, arranged around a Scandi-style wood burner and Smart TV. The contemporary kitchen is fully equipped for cooks of all abilities, while a separate utility room adds everyday convenience. All three bedrooms are accessed from the main hallway and are beautifully presented with comfort in mind. The master bedroom features a super-king-size bed and its own en-suite shower room, while the two inviting twin bedrooms are served by a sleek, fully tiled family bathroom.

On bright, breezy days, step through the patio doors onto the elevated decking. This stylish outdoor space features a rattan dining set and sea views – perfect for soaking up the coastal atmosphere. Private parking for one car is available directly outside the property.

Its mainly the location that makes us keep rebooking, (almost on the beach, fabulous views) but the lodge is very comfortable and well equipped. Starting to look a little tired in places (sofa, paintwork) and internet rather patchy, but Ive already rebooked. Says it all really.

Great location close to beach. Spacious and very well fitted out lodge. Children's toys were much appreciated. The terrace was well utilised as was the barbecue.

We have been visiting Mossyard for a few years now, the lodges are beautifully appointed and feel like a home away from home. We love it and hope to keep visiting in the years to come. Within minutes you are by the water ready for a splash and can quickly head back for a shower to warm you up.
