Featuring a hot tub, The Galloway Steading- The Bee Hive Couples Retreat with Hot Tub and Fire Pit is located in Glenluce. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. Ringdoo Sands Beach is 2.7 km from the apartment. We had the best stay earlier this month, loved every minute! We got very lucky with the weather so made good use of the BBQ on our first night and sat outside for our evening meals. The hot tub was so relaxing, especially at night whilst watching the stars. We bought some tasty homemade jam and BBQ starter pack from the cute little pod shop. Hosts also arranged our early check in and left us firewood. We liked that the garden around the pods were enclosed as meant we could let our dog wander around without worrying he could get out. The location was perfect, lots of lovely walks nearby and close to a beach. We would love to return one day and highly recommend!

Situated in Ringford, 39 km from Dumfries and Galloway Golf Club, The Pond Lodges Barstobrick has a terrace, private parking and rooms with free WiFi access. The Dumfries and County Golf Club is within 41 km of the apartment. These beautifully designed tiny houses were perfect! Great views with lots of wildlife and walks nearby. We ordered the breakfast hampers each morning and they were delicious. There are 7 little cabins and they are great for any kind of trip. The Alder cabin also has a hot tub which was an added bonus! Elen was very responsive and incredibly helpful!
