West Lodge
In Dumfries & GallowayWest Lodge Holiday Accommodation
This delightful 19th Century gate lodge was at one time the estate schoolhouse, which might account for the unusually ornate slatework on the roof, which makes it look a little like a gingerbread house!
Although it looks small on the outside the Lodge provides comfortable accommodation for four people. It is all on one level and therefore ideal for older people (although note that the doors may unfortunately be too narrow for some wheelchairs).
It has some of the best views on the estate across the Solway Firth to the Lake District and the Isle of Man, along the Colvend Coast taking in Southerness lighthouse and the Portling cliffs and across rolling farmland to Criffel Mountain.
