Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently describe the lodge as clean and tidy, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that contributes to the comfort and appeal of the property.
The lodge's location is frequently commended for its beauty and convenience, being close to the shore, local pubs, beaches, and cycling trails, making it an attractive destination for visitors.
Reviews highlight the lodge as comfortable and relaxing, with spacious interiors and quality furnishings that provide a cosy atmosphere for guests.
While the lodge is generally well-equipped and appreciated for its amenities, one guest's mention of the lodge being a bit overpriced for the standard of finish and having tired furnishings suggests there is room for improvement in this area.

About this property
Birchlea offers spacious and comfortable holiday accommodation set in the landscaped grounds of a small private group of Norwegian Lodges just a short walk from the shore front in the picturesque seaside village of Kippford. The lodge is finished and furnished to a high standard and has a large unfenced garden together with deck seating area which over looks a small lochan.
Kippford is a well-known sailing centre and there are numerous coast and forest walks in the local area including easy access to the near by Dalbeattie woods with way marked walks and more strenuous mountain bike trails which form part ot the 7Stanes Forestry Commission routes. The local area provides outstanding opportunities for exploring South West Scotland including Threave Castle and National Trust for Scotland Threave Gardens, together with slightly further afield Sweetheart Abbey at New Abbey and the Mill on the Fleet at Gatehouse of Fleet. Opportunities for watching wildlife are plentiful either while enjoying beach and cliff top walks around Kippford and adjoining Rockcliffe or further afield at rspb Mersehead which is a Mecca for winter Wildfowl but is also worth visiting in summer for the beach.
