About this property
Tempo is a beautifully romantic hideaway for two, set within the expansive grounds of an exceptional coastal estate on the southwest edge of Scotland. Sheltered by mature trees and surrounded by sun-filled gardens, this one-bedroom lodge offers a calm and intimate retreat where privacy is effortless and the wider landscape feels wonderfully generous. The estate itself forms part of the experience, with sweeping grounds, historic planting and a coastline that feels wild and largely untouched, all just moments from the lodge.
Inside, the lodge has been designed to feel warm, comfortable and quietly refined. Underfloor heating and a woodburning stove create a welcoming atmosphere throughout the year, while the open-plan living space encourages slow, unhurried days indoors. The kitchen is well equipped for simple self-catering, and large windows frame views of the enclosed garden, drawing natural light deep into the space. The bedroom features a super-king bed and flows into a modern ensuite bathroom with a rain shower, creating a restful and thoughtfully considered retreat.
Outside, Tempo enjoys a private garden that feels both sheltered and deeply peaceful. Seating areas provide space to pause and take in the surroundings, whether starting the day with coffee or unwinding as evening falls. An outdoor bath tucked beneath greenery adds a memorable element, offering a rare chance to relax beneath open skies in complete seclusion. Beyond the garden, the estate opens out into woodland, lawns and winding paths that gently lead towards the coast, encouraging quiet exploration at your own pace.
Whether you are seeking a romantic coastal escape or simply time to disconnect and recharge, Tempo offers a carefully balanced experience where comfort, privacy and an extraordinary setting come together naturally.
Tempo is set within the peaceful grounds of a remarkable Scottish estate on the southwest coast, a landscape shaped by woodland, gardens and a dramatic stretch of shoreline. The lodge sits in a sheltered position among mature trees, creating a strong sense of seclusion while remaining closely connected to the surrounding coast and countryside. This is a place where space, stillness and natural beauty define everyday life.
Guests are free to explore the estate on foot, following landscaped paths through gardens and woodland that gradually open out towards the sea. The coastline here is particularly striking, with craggy cliffs, wide views and ever-changing light that make each walk feel different. Secluded beaches lie close by and remain largely unspoilt, offering quiet moments by the water and the chance to spot seabirds, seals or dolphins offshore.
Just a short distance away, the harbour village of Portpatrick provides a gentle contrast to the estate’s calm. Known for its colourful buildings and relaxed atmosphere, it offers a small selection of cafés, pubs and local shops, as well as a picturesque harbour that reflects the area’s maritime character. A nearby golf course and coastal paths add further variety for those wishing to explore.
The wider region is celebrated for its unspoilt landscapes and slower pace of life. Open skies, rolling countryside and quiet coastal routes encourage visitors to step away from routine and reconnect with nature. Whether spending your days walking through the estate, exploring the shoreline or simply enjoying the stillness around the lodge, the location of Tempo offers a deeply restorative setting in one of Scotland’s most compelling coastal areas.
