Showcasing the essence of the building and the setting in which it is ensconced, the lodge features original wood panelled walls and chimneys and is now upgraded with 2 full bathrooms. The living room boasts original features from the turn of the century, including original oak panelling, and lovely fireplace. Streaming light from the window and door glass panels also provide view of the woodlands, framed by abundant hydrangeas blooms. Indian-blue velvet sofas with gold accents and a highly curated selection of fine arts provide a true boutique feel to the lodge. The brand-new kitchen has been restored from its original form, and you'll find fascinating nooks and crannies for storage within the original range which has stood in its place since the 1900s. The window at the sink provides glimpses into the "pleasure ground", an area at Dunskey that's dedicated to our botanical walled garden, the vegetable garden, and the maze. The historic cobblestone courtyard at Coachman Lodge is one of its most charming features. There are tables, chairs and a BBQ there to enjoy this little sun trap. Just a few steps away is the lovely and utterly private walled garden, all yours to peruse. Upstairs, the master bedroom showcases a hand-painted mural that's guaranteed to get hearts swooning. Super king bed, eclectic artworks, and mid-century-inspired furnishings ensure a hotel-like stay. The brand new full bathroom provides a large walk-in shower and a full bath and, of course, is always stocked with Dunskey's own bath amenities. The second bedroom boasts an impressive wardrobe that will rival one of Marie Antoinette. Indeed, antique crowns and canopy over the two single beds will delight anyone who's ever entertained the fantasy of living like lords and ladies on their own private Estate. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Massage ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Firepit ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina ### Things to do - Golf - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Unit size: 861 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91540000/91535700/91535635/40161985.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Artful Retreat: Artemisia Lodge with Vast Garden on Seaside Estate Portpatrick - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=91535635&PinnedHotelID=91535635&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/93000000/92180000/92176100/92176015/2731d8ad.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 4 Season's Splendour : Artist Nest in Walled Garden on 2000 acre Seaside Estate Portpatrick - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=92176015&PinnedHotelID=92176015&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66400000/66390600/66390513/1fd70d0b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Secret Garden: Ultra-Luxe Lodge on Seaside Estate Portpatrick - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=66390513&PinnedHotelID=66390513&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/69000000/68220000/68218200/68218151/ef8ff3c2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sumptuous Romance: Tip-top luxe lodge & garden on vast seaside estate Portpatrick - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=68218151&PinnedHotelID=68218151&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93480000/93477400/93477338/deefb17a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Coastal Magnificence: Saltwater Chronicles with private sea view deck.

Apr 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful We stayed in Harriet’s Lodestar, a modern very well equipped lodge on the edge of the estate. It was very peaceful with our own private jetty by the upper loch! Loads to do, we went on a number of walks locally as well as further afield. PortPatrick is lovely and a hilltop walk away. Feel fully rested and will revisit this wonderful part of Scotland. ##### Tom W. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gayle C. Aug 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### BEYOND SPLENDOR AND THE REASON WHY There are many splendid places to stay in the world. Dunskey Estate has a rare kind of splendor because its owners Ali and Anne Orr Ewing are rare in their approach to hospitality. They begin by wanting and providing the highest and best for the historic estate and its 2,000 acres of stunning beauty. Next, they put into place all that is highest and best for their staff/team. This translates into a guest experience that surpassess every expectation because what is done for you at every turn of your stay, comes from the heart. I will be back again and again. ##### Gayle C.
