Perfect for a family holiday or a romantic retreat, couples and small families will love this contemporary, yet homely lodge moored by the banks of the splendid Bengairn Loch. After a busy day exploring the borders region of Scotland, relax and unwind, marvelling at the ever-changing views over the water. You’re not completely cut off from civilisation, though – the bonny seaside village of Auchencairn with shop, post office, cafe, restaurant and beach is just 1 mile away. Unique in tones of navy and pale, dusty pink, warm wooden floors are complemented with cream walls in this stylish home. Making the most of its spectacular waterside location, large windows and patio doors allow light to flood into the charming open-plan living space. With tranquil en-suite bedrooms at either end of the living space, privacy and personal space are easy to come by if it should be required. Step inside this luxurious, single-storey lodge and drop your outdoor clothing in the hall vestibule and potter through to the spacious open-plan living space. It’s light during the day, yet once the wood burner-effect electric fire is lit it becomes cosy and welcoming, just perfect for relaxing on the comfortable sofas or enjoying a sociable meal in the amber ambience. On warm evenings, open the French doors to the patio and soak in the private hot tub enjoying magnificent loch views as the sun goes down. Wake rejuvenated in the bedrooms, both with access to the patio and enjoy your morning cuppa listening to the sounds of the water. Outside, the large patio has a seating area with comfortable table and chairs, perfect for al fresco dining morning, noon and night. Enjoy the dark skies, stargazing with a wee dram or a nice glass of wine in hand.
