We are often to be found waxing very lyrical about the area surrounding our luxury lodges.
That’s simply because it takes our breath away, each and every time.
Location, location, location …
The grounds:
The luxury lodges for sale at Kipp Forest Lodges are all sited on private land.
The site features private woodland, with an 8,000 year old bluebell meadow, which carpets the floor in a radiant blue from April to June.
The woodland is also home to rare native red squirrels.
With only 140,000 red squirrels left in the UK, that our woodland has breeding pairs is a fantastic boost for the survival of these shy and elusive animals, as well as indicative of just how secluded and natural is the site for our lodges for sale.
The views:
Our Lodges are in Dumfries and Galloway (South West Scotland), so it may not surprise you to know that there are stunning views from Kipp Forest Lodges over to the Galloway Hills.
Yet, you might be surprised to know that you can also see the Lake District.
The Galloway Hills are 20 miles to the North. To the South, there are views of the Urr estuary, the Solway Firth and (over the sea) the Lake District (40 miles as a boat sails).
Simply perfect views for relaxing on a lodge’s veranda during the summer, and just as wonderful to glimpse as you take a gentle stroll to walk off your hearty winter dinner.
The ‘Scottish Riviera’
‘Scottish’ and ‘Riviera’ may not be two terms you’d have thought could sit together, but that’s exactly how the area surrounding Kipp Forest Lodges is often referred.
This is due to its mild climate (from the Gulf Stream), stunning views, warm hospitality, range of cultural events and yachting.
Kippford
The closest village to Kipp Forest Lodges, Kippford (also known as ‘Scaur’), may be comparatively small (at points, the village is only one cottage wide), but it certainly isn’t bereft of beauty, hospitality and activities.
Kippford has:
- two sand, shell and pebble beaches
- two pubs
- a sailing goods shop
- a yacht club
- a craft shop
- and a waterfront street
Kippford is only a 15 minute walk from Kipp Forest Lodges, or a 2 minute drive.
Kipp Forest Lodges is also close to the towns of Dalbeattie (‘The Granite Town of the South West’) and Castle Douglas (‘The Food Town), with Dumfries a mere 30 minute drive.
All the benefits and ease of village and town living, from a private, secluded holiday home.
