Accommodation overview: Nestled in an idyllic private woodland setting, Auchenhill Lodge offers a lovely relaxing retreat close to Kippford, often described as Scotlands Riviera. Locals refer to this area as The Golden Triangle - Colvend, Rockcliffe and Kippford - and frequent visitors understand why. The climate is temperate as Galloway is touched by the Gulf Stream with many golden, sandy, and often empty beaches to explore. For excellent views of the Rough Firth estuary, the Jubilee Path is highly recommended. This was named to commemorate Queen Victorias Golden Jubilee and is the main path between Kippford and the equally charming village of Rockcliffe. There are wonderful views out to sea, and the path passes Mark of Mote, 1 100-foot high granite outcrop, with a Dark Age settlement on top. Rockcliffe and Sandyhills (with a beautiful sandy beach as its name implies!) are small Victorian bathing resorts close by. Kippford was once a smugglers haunt with a wealth of stories and legends to discover and is now a pretty sailing resort with quaint fishermans cottages. There is a low tide walk from the beach to Rough Island. Scotlands only round tower house, Orchardton Tower, is a must to visit with its spiral staircase hidden within double walls leading to a parapet.

Accommodation overview: The Boat House is the quintessential holiday retreat for couples.  Perched above the waters edge of Loch Fern it is difficult to know where to begin to describe this beautiful property and its unique location in a form that does it justice. It is set amidst stunning scenery and sits serenely on the shores of Loch Fern. To someone who hails from a city or large town this location would be almost spiritual to be so at one with nature, and The Boat House just blends in beautifully with the landscape. The Loch supports a variety of flora and fauna and the outlook changes with every passing season from a scattering of water lilies to the vibrant colours of the rhododendrons framing the loch. The mixed woodland adjoining The Boat House brings a vibrant display of colours especially during Autumn when the leaves change to reds and greens and russets. For those who are willing to sit quiet and be patient, the rewards can be priceless with glimpses of badgers, deer, otters, red squirrels and if you are lucky, ospreys.
