The Waterhouse
Score
This stay
The Waterhouse is a unique, hand crafted eco-wooden hideaway. The Lodge nestles gently in an acre of densely planted cottage garden, heavily scented with roses, buddleia and honeysuckle. The Waterhouse Lodge has become a wildlife sanctuary and the beautiful garden of this luxury retreat in Galloway is teaming with an abundance of bird species. Swallows nesting under the eves of The Waterhouse log cabin are commonly seen swooping across the water. The Waterhouse Lodge has a spacious south facing sun deck which overhangs a large water lily edged pond. A lower deck contains a luxury Hot Tub. Just one of the comforts of this romantic retreat, the Hot Tub is heated and used all year round - a winter treat for watching the clearest skies in Britain, as well as a relaxing (relatively insect free) summers evening. The Waterhouse, Dumfries and Galloway, offers well equipped, luxury self catering accommodation, sleeping up to 4 people.

The host's philosophy
The Waterhouse is designed as an authentic nature retreat, built by hand using sustainable local materials and nestled within a one-acre sanctuary garden, intensively planted to encourage biodiversity. The accommodation draws its energy from the sun and from wood, and the productive garden supplies guests with seasonal vegetables and fruit. Every detail, from the living roof to the eco-friendly paint products, reflects a deep commitment to respecting the natural environment of Galloway.
