  • "The lodge is beautifully situated within the Caravan Park, with magnificent views from the well-furnished decking/BBQ area."

    The lodge itself is spacious and very well appointed. The soft furnishings and decor are in lovely condition and the kitchen is an absolute joy to work in (so my wife tells me!!) Bedrooms and toilets are more than adequate and both have the benefit of a walk-in dressing room. "Oyster Lodge", being only 20 minutes walk (3 minutes drive) from the nearest hotel is veritably a home from home.

  • "A very comfortable lodge that is very clean, well equipped, and with beautiful views from the lounge/ front decking area on clear days."

    It is furnished really nice and for the time of year was lovely and warm. It is in a good location for local walks especially the walk through the forest to Rockcliffe which starts at the top of the coastal park. Kippford itself is only around 15 minutes walk with a nice dog friendly pub (The Anchor). The only minus was the WiFi was weak and didn’t work very well at all but this wasn’t a major problem for us.

    Spotlessly clean and everything you could possibly imagine was provided. Beautiful open plan kitchen and living area. My children enjoyed playing outside on the deck. Such a lovely, peaceful setting. We walked down to Kippford - quite a steep walk back pushing a buggy! We particularly enjoyed a breakfast and 4x4 tour around Bainloch deer park- less than 10 min away.

    The open plan setting of the living/kitchen area is perfect. Fully equipped kitchen with everything you could need, breakfast bar for 2 and dining table for 4 people. Plenty seating on comfortable sofas to chill and watch the flat screen TV of an evening. Double bedroom with en-suite was comfortable AND a walk in wardrobe was a welcome surprise. Would definitely recommend this accommodation. A particular nod to the owner Andy who helped us out greatly. We were caught in some bad weather and he organised transport for my girlfriend and dogs while I waited to be recovered. First class *****

  • "The lodge was wonderful."

    It's light, airey, very comfortable and the facilities available were way more than I expected. The open plan living area and kitchen had everything and more than I could have wanted with great views through the picture windows. I didn't use the patio equipment as I was there in December. It may have been bitterly cold outside but I was cosy inside. There was plenty of lighting in the bedroom, which makes a change to many other places I have stayed. The en-suite has a really good shower and a modern table top style sink. I liked that, not necessary but just gave that feeling of quality and style. Lashings of hot water. The bed was so comfy too and I slept really well as a result. The park is beautifully laid out on a steep hill meaning that the lodges are each in their own little spot with nearby ones being either above or below so there are neighbours but there is privacy. I loved the fact that there was a box of dog biscuits for the 4 legged residents! The whole experience was such a pleasant surprise. Would I book this lodge again. DEFINITELY!

    Nice lodge on a beautiful site however there was a lot of dog hair which came up in clumps when you walked around the carpets with trainers on, although we had a dog with us the hair was long and light coloured Perhaps you require a more powerful vacuum cleaner (or a more powerful cleaner) to ensure that it has all gone before the next guests arrive Other than that is is a lovely lodge

    The lodges and caravans are well spaced and shrubbery ensures privacy. Oyster Bay lodge was a beautiful well equipped property providing comfort and catering for our every need. It was in a great position on the park with fabulous views to the distant hills. A great place to relax. To be fair I think our two grandchildren aged 12 and 10 found it a bit quiet compared to some parks we have stayed on but they spent some time most days on the assault course and using the football nets. All told it was a great holiday and for the first time in many visits to Scotland we didn't see a spot of rain which was a great bonus.

There were lots of walks from the park, including the forest walk to Kippford, where there were two decent pubs, both dog friendly. The park itself is on quite a steep hill, which could be a problem for some people, although it was easy to drive round. The lodge had everything we needed for our stay. It was clean, very comfortable and well equipped. We had a lovely stay and didn’t want to leave. Highly recommended!

The property

Dalbeattie 3.8 miles.

Found in the lovely Coastal Kippford holiday park, near the town of Dalbeattie in Scotland, you will find this beautifully decorated two-bedroom lodge, with outstanding views to the distant hills and countryside.

The lodge would be the ideal setting for a family holiday, a couple’s getaway, or even a reunion of friends, thanks to its large open-plan living space.

After an afternoon of walking to the nearby lochs, head back over to Oyster Bay Lodge, kick off your boots on the decking and step into the living area, where you can find an inviting sofa arrangement to curl up on in front of a film on the wall-mounted television.

The electric fire can provide some extra warmth on a chilly evening, whilst the dinner is being prepared in the kitchen; the chef of the group will love cooking up a storm on the 8-ring gas hob that sits atop the double oven.

The rest of the party can eagerly wait for their meal at the dining table, with enough seating for a few extra friends to pop by for the evening.

When it's time to say goodnight, you can choose from two well-presented bedrooms; a double with en-suite shower, basin and WC and a twin room, both complete with walk-in wardrobe space for all of your personal items.

The bathroom that serves the twin room benefits from a bath with a shower over, so you can take it slow with an indulgent soak, or get ready in a flash with a quick shower, the choice is yours!

The outside decked area has a fantastic barbecue for when the sun is shining, with table and chairs for some alfresco dining, all you need is a cold drink in hand!

One of Scotland's prettiest seaside villages on the shore of the estuary of the River Urr, there are many things to do in the local area including coastal and forest walks, golf, cycling, fishing and sailing.

For a day out, head over to Threave Castle, only accessible by boat as it's situated on an island in the middle of the River Dee, it was built back in the 14th century by the Lord of Galloway at the time, it is sure to impress.

Oyster Bay Lodge is a wonderful property, perfect for a break away with your loved ones to take in the beauty of Scotland.

About the location

DALBEATTIE

Castle Douglas 6 miles; Kirkcudbright 13.5 miles; Dumfries 14 miles.

The attractive country town of Dalbeattie nestles in the south west of Scotland. The town sits within a wooded valley on the River Urr and provides access to the picturesque Solway Coast with its miles of beaches and pretty fishing villages. Dalbeattie is originally known for its granite quarry, which exported stone all over the world, most notably for the Eddystone Lighthouse and Thames Embankment. Today it is renowned for its outdoor activities with the world famous 7stanes mountain biking complex nearby as well as forest walks in Glentrool, where you can follow in the footsteps of Richard Hannay in The Thirty Nine Steps. Dalbeattie and the surrounding area offer panoramic views of the Solway Firth, the Lake District and the Galloway Hills. A great location, which has something for everyone.
