We had a lovely week’s stay at Screel View. The lodge is so comfortable and well equipped, everything you need is provided. Having an EV charger was super convenient and meant no range anxiety as we did a lot of driving. It was a relaxing stay, the lodge is very quiet and although it rained at the start of the week, by the end we benefitted from some gorgeous sunsets from the terrace. We enjoyed exploring the local area: Sandyhills and Rockcliffe beaches, the Bainloch Deer Sanctuary, the Dumfries Aviation Museum, and trips to Wigtown, Lockerbie plus the train to Falkirk/Stirling We’d recommend Screel View for a peaceful break in a luxury lodge
