Historic Arcadia: Heritage Coachman Lodge on 2000-acre Seaside Estate

Revealing a fascinating glimpse into its ancient stables heritage, Coachman Lodge sits at the heart of the courtyard within a rural idyll, binding a classically Grade-II listed exterior with luxurious rustic interiors. 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.

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.

Beautifully presented Coachmans Cottage with all amenities tucked away with a number of other cottages on The Dunskey Estate. Fantastic grounds with walks, lochs and a variety of activities offered within walking distance of picturesque Port Patrick. Excellent meals available from the estate and in Port Patrick. Breakfast included means a very substantial breakfast package on your arrival.

Wonderful
We stayed in Harrietā€™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.
