Glen Rhuad Lodge : Lodges, Log Cabin, Cottage, Scotland : 01387 780693 : Welcome to the Lodge

First things first. As you read through this, or even better if you come and visit, you will probably notice that we are not the most relentlessly businesslike of landlords. The simple truth is that some years ago we found a place we liked to spend our weekends and holidays that was so enjoyable we decided to live here full-time. The result is we don't use the lodge as a getaway anymore because it's now just a short stroll up the hill. However, predictably, we can’t bear to part with it, especially as so many friends and family seem addicted to its charms – and we still love the place.

So if it can earn its keep, not cause too much trouble and give other people as much pleasure as it has given us over the years, we plan to let it have a late career as the perfect base for anyone wishing to explore the Stewartry Coast or the wider attractions of the Galloway region.

We hope you will like it.

Now, to the more practical stuff. Glen Rhuad Lodge is a very solidly built log cabin on a small private site. It stands in its own woodland garden and features just about everything you could need for a relaxing holiday or as a centre for an active break. It sleeps six in three bedrooms; one double, one twin, one with bunk beds - see the Lodge Layout page for more information.

There is a comfortable open-plan living area, well-equipped kitchen, large wooded garden, great neighbours -including deer, red squirrels, badgers, buzzards & other birds.

The site is small and secluded, but with many facilities nearby. The beach at Sandyhills Bay, the forest, golf, shop, swimming, restaurant/bar and stables are all within holiday walking distance and the town of Dalbeattie or Colvend village are both just a short drive away.

It's a great place from which to explore the historic Galloway region, or just sit back, enjoy the view and watch the world go by.

Not to mention an ideal location for anyone interested in golf, walking (coast, hill or forest), wildlife, sailing, mountain biking, fishing, horse riding or any of the many other delights of South West Scotland.

P.S Glen Rhuad means Red Glen and there is no such place. The lodge gets its name from a Red Deer farm, red squirrels, rowan berries, spectacular sunsets and in Spring... bluebells.

If you need to know more, give Leigh a call on 01387 780693.
