  The location of the lodge is perfect. Quiet and a short walk to the amenities on the sea front of Kippford. The lodge is very well equipped with everything you need in the kitchen. Lovely thick bathroom towels. Washing machine and tumble dryer were useful, as was the outside washing line. Plenty of board games available too. The slight disappointment was the cleanliness. Very dusty in places, lots of dog hair on blankets and under furniture and a lot of cobwebs. The en-suite shower didn’t drain properly because the drain hole was full of hair. The windows were dirty and the grass needed cutting. The grass was cut during the week we were there but all the cuttings were left on the surface so we had no option but to walk through it which meant we had to sweep up constantly as it came inside. There was a brand new BBQ which was appreciated. The furniture is all a bit tired and in need a replacing. You could feel the springs on the king size bed. We walked from Kippford to Rockcliffe, a lovely walk some of which is uphill. There are a couple of pubs on the seafront in Kippford and a small cafe/shop which serves great coffe as well as other things. Kippford is a great base for visiting all the places to see in the area. Threave Gardens and Kircudbright are recommended. There are great beaches at Rockcliffe and Sandyhills.

  We went to Screel View for a bit of recuperation, after a very trying few months, and we absolutely achieved that aim. Relaxation, with a gentle hike down to Kippford for a cup of tea, was what we got, in the most beautifully furnished lodge! The photos of the cabin/lodge, and the area, really don't do it justice. When looking at the photos, you can't hear the silence, or smell the fresh air, or feel the soft carpet in the living room :-) The quality of the furniture and all the fittings is excellent, and every little detail has been considered to make a short stay perfect. The kitchen's beautifully equipped, and the hob and oven are a joy to use (not often I can say that about a holiday let!!). The beds....the mattresses are incredibly comfortable, not too hard or too soft, and the bed linen and pillows are top notch. I could go on and on ....probably best you just check it out for yourselves ;-)

  A wonderful place! Recently home from a quiet festive break in Screel View, a beautiful welcoming & spacious lodge in a great location. Cosy, clean and well equipped. The lodge sits high and from the balcony, a stunning view. The most relaxing place. The festive and personal touches including the Christmas Tree and Welcome Hamper - thank you Barbara! With elderly folk we did require a car to get out and about….there is lots to explore. My husband and I took the forest walks direct from the door to scenic Rockcliffe and Kippford….at the latter we can highly recommend the quaint waterfront cafe The Ark. Communication with the hosts/owner was excellent. We are looking to head back to explore more of the area. For sure Screel View is the place from which we will do that. Thank you, we loved it!

  Everything about this lodge was excellent, comfortable, spacious with a fully equipped kitchen and bathrooms. It’s a very quiet site with beautiful views of the surrounding Galloway Hills. Being at the top of the park gives excellent access to the woods/ down to the Kippford Community Nature Reserve if you have a dog, but watch out for deer. A lovely touch is the welcome pack from the owner. She was great and very responsive to any queries we had. One suggestion is, it might be good to add the contact details for the local vet.

  Comfortable lodge in idillic surroundings with communal pond. 100 yards from nature reserve walk 500 yards from estuary, pub and cafe . Multitude of small villages and towns in easy driving distance ( 6 to 20 mile ) Lodge has large veranda around the accommodation with three exits, one with ramp. We used some if the garden furniture to block exits re our terrier that likes to chase rabbits 😂 Yes I would return
