Dunskey Estate - Artemisia Lodge - Self-catering in Dumfries & Galloway
Portpatrick, DG9 8TJ, Dumfries & Galloway
Scotland,
Royaume-Uni
This vast 2000-acre estate tucked on the south west coast of Scotland has been in the family since 1900. Now a clutch of luxuriously renovated lodges mean you can have your own adventure in nature; stroll around the botanical gardens, take a picnic down to the beach, row the lochs spotting otters and lose yourself in the maze.
The owners who live in the big house leave you a generous welcome hamper, and the estate chefs can provide homemade frozen meals if you're feeling lazy. The 1850 lodge is warm and inviting, a cosy open-plan space with two bedrooms, one up, one down, with dressing gowns and slippers ready and waiting – all wrapped by a garden with a fire pit, barbecue and an outdoor bath for a starlit soak.
You've got loads of options: do your own thing, get involved in activities on site – archery, ranger walks, fishing, axe throwing, clay shooting – or visit pretty pastel-hued Portpatrick on the coast.

Local points of interest from Anne Tristine Nguyen:
Points d'intérêt locaux proposés par
Anne Tristine Nguyen:
- Artemisia is inspired by the fierce Renaissance female artist, Artemisia Gentileschi, who encouraged us to handcraft this lodge into a pocketful of whimsical luxury while jettisoning all conventionality out of its century-old windows.
- Upon entrance, you'll be wowed by the pale robin-egg blue surroundings, which are matched to the Arcadian mural on the main wall. The art deco chrome-and-velvet sofa perfectly blends into the mural, with flashes of hot pink cushions.
- Downstairs, the bedroom features two Georgian wicker and pine beds alongside a hand painted mural by Jen Robson. An en-suite bathroom here contains a rain shower.
- Along the sunny stairwell, you'll find the entire top floor devoted to the main bedroom. A gorgeous mural of whimsical woodland hugs one wall where a dedicated workspace can be found.
- Turquoise beds and gold accents are found throughout here. Step across the hallway to find a truly spacious bathroom with a luxurious bathtub and view of the woods, alongside a rain shower.
