Fabulous lodge in a fantastic location! We wanted accommodation that was high quality and somewhere we could relax after a busy time in our lives. Platinum 2 did not disappoint. Our original plan was to visit some of the well known tourist places that were within a short drive, but once settled, we decided that we were happy just staying at the lodRead morege, and taking our dog for walks along the rugged coastline. The weather was not the best, but that did not prevent us having a fabulous stay. Hide

Spotlessly clean. Great relaxed location. Had stayed before and will definitely stay again. Close enough to Castle Douglas for both a day out and to stock up on great food from a market town. Highly recommended high quality holiday home for a relaxing break away from it all. Furry friends welcomed. They enjoyed it too!

Amazing holiday home at Rascarrel. The property was so well equipped, clean and cosy. We cannot fault anything, and were very sad to leave. The correspondence throughout was excellent. Spacious but not cold, towels and robes, hot tub checked daily and a real treat with a sea view. Thanks for your hard work keeping this home so beautiful.
