One of our favourite things about the lodge is sitting out on the balcony with a coffee and looking out over Barend Loch.
We’ve added some new bistro-style chairs to make that a bit more comfortable.
They’re great for a quiet breakfast, a drink in the evening, or just sitting and taking things in.
There are cushions and blankets in the storage box on the balcony for you to use.
(Just a small favour: please pop them back in the box afterwards so they stay dry.)
You can see the full list of our recent and planned lodge improvements here. If you’ve stayed with us and have suggestions for what we should work on next, please let us know.
If you’re planning a stay near Dalbeattie, you can check availability.
