Rowan - a pod that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms
NEW TO OUR PORTFOLIO FOR 2025
Nestled in the tranquil hamlet of Portyerrock, near the picturesque Isle of Whithorn, Rowan offers a truly enchanting escape. Set on a working dairy farm, this idyllic glamping retreat blends the charm of rural life with the comforts of modern living. Here, you'll find breathtaking sea views, the invigorating scent of salty air, and a warm, inviting atmosphere that promises to leave you relaxed and rejuvenated.
Rowan is thoughtfully designed to accommodate up to four guests. Step inside, and you'll discover a beautifully appointed open-plan living area with a plush sofa and armchair perfect for unwinding with a good book, a compact yet well-equipped kitchen, and a dining space ideal for family meals or intimate gatherings. The master bedroom features a luxurious king-size bed, while a separate space with bunk beds is perfect for children. A generously sized shower room ensures a refreshing start to your days.
Through the patio doors, your private outdoor sanctuary awaits. A delightful deck offers seating for four, making it the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee, an alfresco meal, or simply soak in the stunning surroundings. For an added touch of indulgence, the wood-fired hot tub invites you to unwind under the sunlit sky or a canopy of twinkling stars. As night falls, festoon lights and colour-changing uplighters transform the space into a magical retreat for all ages.
The surrounding area is brimming with opportunities for adventure and exploration. Wander through ancient woodlands, hike along scenic coastal paths, or cycle the peaceful country lanes. Visit charming local villages and towns, each with its own unique character and stories to tell. For wildlife enthusiasts, the nearby coastline and countryside offer plenty of chances to spot seals, seabirds, and other native creatures.
After a day of exploration, return to your lodge and let the warmth of the hot tub soothe tired muscles as you plan tomorrow's activities – or your next visit.
