Luxury lodge situated idyllically on the edge of a small working farm

Set in a peaceful, rural location between Portpatrick and Stranraer, Laggansally Lodge provides total seclusion for those seeking to explore the delights of the Rhins of Galloway. Beaches, lighthouses, golf courses and renowned gardens enjoy an especially mild climate, happily fairly midge free. Wildlife watchers, walkers and cyclists are in for a treat! Opportunities to try your hand at both freshwater and sea-fishing abound.

Laggansally is a newly built spacious bungalow with comfortable excellent quality furnishings and everything you need to enjoy a home away from home, plus that little bit more. We provide everything from luxury bedding and towels to wood for the woodburning stove. The house is warm with oil fired central heating and a modern Rayburn. An expansive lawn to the front of the house, wildlife pond (fenced off for toddlers), and woodland approach together with ample parking ensure total privacy. Our small family farm is less than half a mile away - wander across and meet the menagerie!


We now take small pets.

Wonderful Stay!

We have had a brilliant 2 weeks at Lagansally. We can honestly say we have never had a more relaxing, comfortable stay. A real home from home. Well equipped and private. Thank you so much Joanna for your warm welcome.

Special Christmas

Joanna was a wonderful host who made us feel like we were at home away from home. The property is lovely and peaceful, perfect for a quiet Christmas. The house was immaculate and well stocked with everything you could need! The wood burner in the livingroom made for a really cosy atmosphere. We will definitely be back again!

Wonderful Stay in a gorgeous location

We had a fabulous two weeks at Laggansally. The house was spacious and very comfortable with everything we needed and more. The kitchen was very well equipped and the table was ideal as it was big enough for a 2000 piece jigsaw whilst still leaving plenty of room for four of us to eat / play games. Two good sized sofas in the lounge gave us plenty of space to spread out if we were watching tv although most of the time we were out and about or playing games. The location of the cottage was perfect for us - we like it quiet - so the long track to the house and big open garden were a boon. Anyone who loves wildlife can enjoy watching the bunnies, deer, toads ( or frogs?🤔), birds of prey from the window. Or have a wander up the track to the farm and meet the four legged and two legged residents there! Joanna and Andy are lovely and made us feel so welcome without being intrusive. The area is beautiful with plenty of walks and beaches. There are supermarkets in Stranraer (about 5 miles away) for stocking up, and Portpatrick has some lovely pubs if you fancy a meal out. We have stayed in a lot of holiday homes over the years and Laggansally is definitely up there in the top 3, possibly even top spot! We will definitely be back. ❤️❤️

Beautiful place. Superbly equipped for a family or even two families. The Lodge is wonderfully remote (up a long track) whilst still being close enough to the facilities of Stranraer. Joanna was a pleasure to deal with.

Wir sind jedes Jahr in mindestens drei verschiedenen Ferienunterkünften und dieses Haus ist eines der besten bisher. Es ist absolut ruhig hier, man ist völlig allein und doch kann man innerhalb eines 30-Minuten-Radius wochenlang jeden Tag etwas Anderes machen, erst recht wenn man diesen Radius auf 60 Minuten erweitert.Das Haus ist sehr sauber, großzügig und mit allem ausgestattet, was man nur brauchen könnte. Die Betten sind sehr hochwertig und besonders bequem.In der näheren Umgebung gibt es viele Gärten, von denen man zumindest Glenwhan und Castle Kennedy unbedingt gesehen haben muss. Drei wunderbare Leuchttürme gibt es auf der Halbinsel und eine der schönsten Küstenlinien, die wir weltweit jemals gesehen haben.Die Gastgeber sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit und schauen gelegentlich vorbei, um zu fragen, ob alles in Ordnung ist, ohne dabei aufdringlich zu sein.Wir können uns keine einzige Sache vorstellen, die hier noch besser sein könnte.

Excellent location and property

Just back from a 5 day stay at Lagansally, the location is excellent and the Lodge has everything you need. The garden is large and our dog loved the large open space to run about in. Joanne keeps you well-informed prior to arriving, on arrival and departure, would definitely stay here again with more of the family

Lovely Cottage

We had a great week at the cottage. Owners were very friendly, helpful with great communication. Cottage was spotlessly clean, spacious and well equipped. Surrounding views were lovely with lots of wildlife on show. The cottage is only a short drive to both Stranraer and Portpatrick. If in the area again would definitely book and stay at the cottage.

We have had a wonderful week away at this property. Joanna was a fantastic host and the accommodation was better than described! Beautifully clean and spacious, and the surrounding views were incredible. It’s about 15 minutes to Stranraer and a car is essential! Definitely recommended and we will definitely be returning.

Everything you could ever need

The property is exactly as advertised. So central to explore Dumfries and Galloway. The house has literally everything you need even down to abundant cooking implements, lots of towels and such lovely touches it feels like home from home. The beds are lovely and comfortable. The owner of the property is on hand if you need anything and is so helpful but does not crowd you. We didn't want to leave I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Property was very clean, homely and well equipped. Really comfortable beds. Beautiful views with lots of farm animals and wildlife around. Regularly saw buzzards and deer. Also saw a fox one morning. Kids and dog loved the freedom around the gardens. Lots of nice places to visit nearby.

Week stay at Laggansally Lodge

We had a great week staying at Laggansally. The house was wonderfully welcoming, cosy and spotlessly clean. It was also beautifully presented and excellently equipped particularly in the kitchen since I enjoy cooking. The location was ideal, hitting a lot of buttons for quiet and rural, so it felt like a great escape from the city but also near to the shops and the beautiful coastline and scenery. We had a really super week and many thanks to the host, Dawn

Peaceful

A wonderful place to get away from it all. Up the farm track to your very own hide-away. When you enter, you walk through the utility room to a large and wonderfully well equipped kitchen/lounge. I have never before been in a holiday let that had a range and Le Creuset kitchenware! There is plenty of space for six people to sit around the kitchen table. The two sofas in the lounge area can easily accommodate the same number and have the wood-burner as a focal point; a nice touch to keep the edge off the autumn evenings. We really enjoyed our stay and I feel sure we will be heading back there soon.
