The pod is in the heart of the Galloway Forest Park ensuring peace and tranquillity together with wildlife on the doorstep; if you are looking for stars, red squirrels, stags and ospreys look no further! The accommodation includes a wood fired hot tub so they you may make the most of the star watching opportunities of given by the Dark Skies. The large patio doors and deck area make it easy to enjoy the breathtaking views over the loch to hills beyond, the deck area also makes a pleasant place for al fresco dining. There is direct access to Forestry Commission trails to allow unrivalled opportunities for outdoor pursuits and seeing the wildlife of the area including Red Kites, Ospreys and even possibly Golden Eagles. The Ospreys regularly visit the loch and near by Loch Doon also has an Osprey observatory with a web cam link to the local nest.

Although in a rural setting the market towns of Castle Douglas and Ayr are both within easy reach together with the superb beaches along the Solway Firth and Clyde Coast.

South West Scotland offers superb opportunities for exploring Scotland's heritage.This includes the deserted village of Polmaddie which is only about 2 miles further into the forest park from the pod.

Beautiful location. Fairly basic accomodation but comfortable and clean. Really comfy bed. Weather not as bad as expected so did a fair amount of walking. Had 2 dogs with us and they loved it. Only problem is they kept going under the cabin where they found something nasty to lick. Although I know access to pipes etc required suggest something to restrict dog access. Hot tub is wood fired and took ages to fill and bring to temperature (had a couple of questions regarding it but messages to contacts were unanswered) but we managed and it was so worth it sitting there with the amazing view. Unfortunately the good old Scottish midges enjoyed it, and us, too!! Having read previous posts we took padded folding chairs with us so we could relax on the decked area watching the red kites wheeling over the forest across the loch. We were visited by the red squirrels. They ran over the roof of the cabin and sat on the fence. Batteries well and truly recharged.

Easy process to rent the cabin. Super quiet location overlooking a picturesque loch. The hot tub is definitely to be enjoyed at night whilst star gazing.
