About this property

Four Season's Splendor: Artist's Nest beside Walled Garden on Seaside Estate

Symphonica features original mural paintings of the four seasons at Dunskey Estate by the Scottish landscape artist Victoria Orr Ewing. Renovated to the highest standards while keeping all original features, this lodge provides wondrous inspiration to take in the scene year-round in this corner of rural paradise.

Built at the turn of the century, the lodge was originally a dairy house for goods and produce for the main Castle. It now boasts underfloor heating, rain showers, and even an outdoor bath. The open living room, dining area and kitchen affords gorgeous lights and views to the woodlands and garden. A woodburning log in the corner adds ambient and coziness, so you can snuggle up on the modular lounge sofa bed and Mad-Men era occassional chairs.

The first bedroom contains a cream Gustavian wicker bed that perfectly blends with the wall colors and mural. Velvet trimmed curtains add texture to the romantic room, with an ensuite bathroom, built-in wardrobe, and a dressing table.

Two white Italianate canopy beds are found in the second bedroom, with a paintbrush pink mural and a divine Art Deco glass chandelier. All bedding and mattresses are of the very top quality. A second ensuite bathroom is also found here, separated by sliding barn doors.

Outside, the terrace is a spot for BBQ or sunbathing, as it is one of the spots with longest duration of sunlight on the Estate. A magic hidden door brings you into the walled garden where you can roam for hours.

Dunskey Estate is a professional host managing several outstanding lodges on this stunning rural Arcadia. All lodges are fully equipped and beautifully decorated, most with en-suite bathrooms. We can organise a variety of activities such as archery, fishing, ranger and botanical walks, beach bonfires with hot chocolate, clay pigeon shooting and in-lodge Swedish massages.

Why they chose this property

At Dunskey Estate you will find a little bit of everything. Beaches, forests, waterfalls, coastal walks along stunning cliffs, two lochs with boating and fishing, a fairy door trail, our own private botanical garden, a maze, numerous hikes, and plenty of nature. Neighbouring the estate is the picturesque village of Portpatrick with a golf course, tennis courts, pubs and restaurants. This often-forgotten part of Scotland is perhaps the best-kept secret and one of the most beautiful parts of the Country.

Dunskey Estate lodges are certainly the highest quality in the region in the most stunning location, tastefully decorated and fully equipped. We will also organise a full range of activities and provide pre-cooked meals from our award-winning chefs. Check out our reviews and see for yourself what other guests have had to say.
