It is an excellent location for exploring the beauty and tranquillity of Southern Scotland. The area is largely untouched and unspoilt and the incoming Gulf Stream helps keep the area both temperate and mild.

It houses a remarkable collection of bizarre and interesting plants and a number of other features such as the Walled Garden help to add to the visitor experience. It is a must for plant lovers and for all those who enjoy seeing something a little bit different. The quaint charm of Port Logan was the location of the highly successful television series 'Two Thousand Acres of Sky'. Port Patrick is known locally as 'the jewel in the crown' and is a delightful village, full of character and one of the most - see places for visitors to the area and boasts a highly acclaimed sea food restaurant.

Accommodation overview: This Victorian stone built detached cottage has the most amazing views of the Galloway Hills and Luce Bay. Craigdhu Croft is situated in the rolling Wigtownshire countryside known locally as the Machars. Galloway is a popular destination for holidaymakers wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and unwind with fishing, walking, cycling in one of the most beautiful, yet relatively undiscovered corners of Scotland. The Galloway Forest Park is the largest in the UK with three hundred square miles of lochs and moor lands, seashore to mountain tops. Why not visit one of the visitor centres at Glentrool, Kirroughtree and Clatteringshaws to discover more. In fact these centres are three of the recognized viewing sites for stargazing as the park has been awarded a Dark Sky Park making it one of the best places in the world to stargaze. Galloway has some amazing wildlife from red deer, otters, black grouse, red kites and red squirrels! For the cyclist there is mile after mile of quiet roads and some seriously amazing mountain bike trails from beginner to adrenaline seeker. For those who like all things nautical there are wide expanses of lovely sandy beaches including St Medan at Monreith where the author Gavin Maxwell was often seen exercising his tame otter. There is a memorial to the author in the form of a lovely bronze otter overlooking the bay. St. Medan has a family friendly golf course overlooking Luce Bay. Here also lies the ruins of Kirkmaiden church, one of the oldest churches in Scotland. The chin cough, well located on the beach below, is supposed to have a magical healing influence on illnesses especially whooping cough. The area is steeped in history and Barsalloch Point has evidence of human encampments as early as 6000 BC. Cup and Ring markings can be found at various locations and several groups of standing stones. Scotland's most southerly distillery at Bladnoch has been producing the Spirit of the Lowlands since 1817. Whatever time of year there is always something to attract everyone with various festivals of Folk and Blues, Country and Western at Creetown, Newton Stewart walking festival. Wigtown as Scotland's National Book Town has always something of interest. The weather too is a surprise as we are touched by the Gulf Stream and have a very temperate climate and this is in evidence everywhere you look from formal gardens to the wild flowers. Let's not forget the fisherman who really are spoiled for choice with the county offering some excellent salmon and trout fishing with shower enclosure, WC and wash basin

Accommodation overview: This stunning, beautifully presented lodge offers superb, single storey accommodation and is an idyllic holiday getaway. Positioned in a delightful and tranquil setting, and approached via private, native woodland, it provides a wonderful refuge from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. To complete the relaxing and restful atmosphere, the property even has its own naturalised pond complete with island and standing stones - the perfect 'ponder' spot. The lodge offers comfort, privacy and seclusion yet is a superb base for exploring the delights of this beautiful yet still relatively undiscovered region of Scotland. The area is quite simply a paradise for walkers, birdwatchers, cyclists and golfing enthusiasts. There are four main golf courses to sample, all within easy reach. The Galloway Forest Park is less than an hour's drive away; it provides fantastic walking and mountain biking trails - the latter so good that the park is a dedicated venue for the World renowned 7Staines biking championships. For those more at home with rod and reel, the owner can arrange free trout and carp fishing in the nearby loch. Summer guests at the lodge will delight in watching the sand martin colony located within the grounds - welcome visitors all the way from Africa. The nearby fishing village of Portpatrick is a popular haunt for tourists and it's easy to see why with its picturesque harbour combined with stunning sea views over to Northern Ireland. The village has an excellent selection of shops full of colour and interesting gift ideas. Portpatrick is also the starting point for the long distance walking trail known as the Southern Upland Way. One of the attractions of the area is an abundance of interesting and exotic gardens. One of the most well known is the Port Logan Botanic Gardens, well worth a visit if just to see the stunning tropical plant collection. However, garden lovers should not overlook the gardens at Ardwell, Dunskey, Castle Kennedy and Glenwhan, all located within 20 miles of the lodge. A real visit with a difference is to Logan Fish Pond, a restored Victorian fish larder. Why not round the day off with a stroll through the pretty fishing village of Port Logan?- seemingly untouched by time. Laggansally Lodge is also ideally located for taking a day trip to either Belfast or Larne. For beach lovers, Laggansally Lodge is close to some particularly fine stretches of coastline such as Killantringan and Larbrax, which offer superb walking and stunning sea scapes. The property is all on ground floor level, heated by oil central heating and a wood burning stove.
