Dunrod - a house that sleeps 10 guests in 5 bedrooms

The house, 3 star graded by Visit Scotland is in a superb elevated position with sea views across Brighouse Bay and within an easy walk to the sandy beach. The property provides an excellent holiday base with significant flexibility in the accommodation for either multi generation family holidays or large groups. It is ideally suited to those keen on outdoor pursuits with plenty of space for equipment and clothing.

The surrounding area is teeming with an array of wildlife and is a 'Twitchers' paradise. There is much to see and do in the area and, apart from Brighouse Bay, there are plenty of sandy beaches and coves within a few minutes' drive. The house is situated close to Brighouse Bay Holiday Park which has a bar and eating facilities, several leisure activities including a swimming pool and a superb clifftop golf course. The area has wonderful sporting facilities including game, sea and coarse fishing. Kirroughtree, part of the Galloway Forest offers a stage of the 7stanes Mountain Bike trail, with others a little further afield at Dalbeattie, Mabie & Ae Forests. There are numerous opportunities for walking be your preference for beach & clifftop walks or more strenuous hill walking. Golfing is available at Brighouse Bay or there are numerous courses within Dumfries and Galloway all within easy reach. The nearest town, Kirkcudbright, 'The Artists Town', has a number of interesting galleries, Broughton House and Garden (National Trust for Scotland) and a busy working harbour and marina.

Perfect cottage and location
Our stay was just wonderful here, only too short this time (booked up for next year already)! So comfortable, great access to beach, so clean and nothing to want for.

Jones family holiday
One of the best holidays we've had. Dunrod Lodge exceeded our expectation! Lovely large open plan living, big panoramic lounge windows giving beautiful views of Brighouse Bay and the wild-life we saw was a huge treat, deer and calves, birds of prey and bats We loved choosing our bedrooms and everyone agreed the beds were comfortable and the plumbing worked tremendously well (10 showers per day) However having to boil the water before we drank it was quite a pain, we wondered why we needed too? Dunrod lodge kitchen had everything and more we could possibly need and all to a good quality standard Our party covered a large age range (86 down to 17) and the location covered everything we hoped for, lovely bike rides locally and Galloway Forest, scenic car journeys to Carrick for the local ice-cream, sea fishing from the bay, exploring the path ways with our dogs and visiting Kirkcudbright Bag pipes night in the town was a delightful highlight All our party genuinely enjoyed our stay at Dunrod Lodge and there's even whispers about 'returning'! Just one other query - why is there so many flies located at the main garden gate? it was quite a trial getting in and out of the car with so many buzzing around ! However, a huge thank you Nigel for a most happy holiday in the delightful (and now much loved) Dunrod lodge

Half term stay
Amazing property just as described! Perfect location for us, waking to the beach view which was a short stroll down the private lane. Deer , sheep and pheasants visited the garden on a daily basis. We were a group of age 12 to age 70+ and the layout of the cottage was ideal. Cosy evenings with every mod con. We brought our small dog who loved it, if I had one suggestion to make it would be a small gate on the front door step area just to stop him bolting out! The carport was an excellent addition too. Overall we had an amazing time and will definitely rebook for next year and have no hesitation in recommending to friends and family.
