Come to be wrapped by wind and waves from this unique nest with an outdoor bath facing west - nature lovers and adventurers will be seduced

An 1850 cable hut, quirky and unique, with an unusual layout over two circular single-storey buildings with beautiful gothic-style windows looking out to sea. However gloomy the weather you'll want to spend time outdoors, sitting in the outdoor bath, gazing into the firepit, sizzling something delicious on the Green Egg, or toddling down to the sea for a bracing dip.

Inside is cosy with underfloor heating, a wood-burner with plenty of logs, a nifty kitchen with a tiny fridge (there's a big one in an outhouse) and a generous welcome pack. On rainy days you can snuggle in with a smart TV and WiFi or a good book and watch the weather go all dramatic while you stay warm and dry.

You're sitting on the Dunskey Estate of 2,000 acres so walks from the door will be sublime, or you can join the Southern Upland Way. Bring binoculars for birdwatching; walk into Portpatrick (two miles) for a pub, village store and post office.

Local points of interest from Anne Tristine Nguyen:

Anne Tristine Nguyen:

You're not simply staying in a Castle Estate: you are staying on one of the most beautiful spots on the planet. Dunskey Estate boasts two waterfalls, two lochs, and three beaches, with the most magnificent walks along the craggy Scottish coastline.
Two lochs nestle into the hills and rhododendron banks. Wander along the glen walk past a rushing waterfall, and a babbling brook, to the two beaches to spot dolphins and seals. Dunskey Golf Course and the picturesque Portpatrick Harbour is 2 minutes away.
