This Victorian lodge sits alone in its own cove on the Galloway coast, its grounds running down to the beach and out across the Irish Sea, with a daily-changing set menu built on local produce. The setting invites a walk to the ruined clifftop Dunskey Castle, or the start of the Southern Upland Way from nearby Portpatrick.
