About this property

Charming 4* House. Sea Views. Next to Golf Course. 4 en suite bedrooms

Located right next door to Portpatrick's Dunskey Golf Course and affording beautiful sea views over the Irish sea to Northern Ireland, 4 Star Cedar Lodge, has four bedrooms, all with en suites, and sleeps 8 people.

Done out in a New England clapper board style externally, inside, the lodge has the same stylish interiors as our existing Corsewall Estate Holiday Cottages.

As with all our Dumfries and Galloway holiday cottages, Cedar Lodge has been completely refurbished from top to toe. Inside, our Portpatrick holiday house has a large open plan kitchen, sitting and dining room with a wall of French doors, which open onto a raised deck and which offer amazing sea views.

In the sitting room area, there's a corner sofa, three armchairs around the electric wood burner style fire and a 40" Smart television.

The kitchen is well equipped with a bean to cup coffee machine, double oven, dishwasher, gas hob, fridge-freezer and washing machine - all appliances are Neff. It has a good range of glasses, cutlery, Port Meirion plates, pots and pans, oven to tableware, knives, utensils etc.

There's an antique restored pine dining table in the dining area, which seats 8 comfortably.

This luxury Portpatrick holiday house has four bedrooms, three of which can either be super king size doubles or twins - depending on your requirements and all have en suite shower rooms. The fourth bedroom has a adult-sized bunk bed and an en suite bathroom.

As with all our cottages, the beds have thick feather-filled duvets and pillows, crisp white linen, large bath sheets and hand towels for each guest.

We provide a welcome pack for guests on arrival including a jar of home-made Corsewall brownies, milk, bread, jam, butter, tea, coffee and fresh flowers from the garden (when in season). You'll find the cottage well equipped with the general basics too from washing up liquid, bin bags to washing powder and loo paper.

Outside it has a raised deck with a picnic table and a wooden garden seat - it's a great place to enjoy a drink and take in the view.

Cedar Lodge has a enclosed garden with mature shrubs and car parking space for 3-4 cars.

Two dogs are very welcome at the Cedar Lodge - there are lots of lovely walks for them around Portpatrick. We charge ÂŁ25 per dog per week/ÂŁ20 per dog per short break and we ask that you let us know in advance to book them in.

Wonderful week in Portpatrick with family

Beautiful house and very comfortable and relaxing. The house is very spacious, clean and well equipped with everything you need for your stay. Ensuite bathrooms for each bedroom is a real benefit. Location of house amazing with great views over Portpatrick. The owner was kind and helpful before during and after our visit. I would definitely recommend a stay at Cedar Lodge.

Fantastic well equipped holiday home which could not be faulted for either style or cleanliness.

House is very well designed and furnished to a very high standard and us only a 10 minute walk from the village and 5 minute walk to the golf course. The views from the decking area are beautiful. We were met by our host Kate who could not have been more helpful. Lots of beautiful walks with breath taking scenery.

Great property in a great location

A cracking lodge which is deceiving from the outside. Spacious comfortable living area with open plan kitchen with everything you would need if you fancy cooking. Four good size bedrooms and the bonus of all being en suite. Very warm and cosy on a cold night and if you play golf it’s only a 2 minute walk to the first tee of the Dunskey course. My family and I had a great time and will hopefully visit again.

We had a wonderful weekend at Cedar Lodge Portpatrick, beautiful lodge, so welcoming, a real home from home. Gorgeous decor and the most comfortable beds, fluffy towels in the en suite bathrooms, luxury soap, it was like a top class hotel. Well stocked kitchen, spotlessly clean. Perfect location as the boys were golfing, weather was disappointing but it didn’t spoil our enjoyment. The information provided beforehand of the local area was excellent and Kate was on hand at the end of the phone during our visit and was so helpful and friendly. We will most certainly be back again.

Great house in a great location.

From booking to leaving the process was seamless. The property was spotless with all the neccesary equipment in the kitchen. And covid measures in place. The beds and pillows are the most comfy I have ever used in a rental property. Attention to detail is evident in all rooms. A lovely place for a getaway or to explore this part of Scotland

Lovely Base in Portpatrick

The property is very spacious, well appointed and well equipped. Our needs were met entirely and we would definitely consider returning. Portpatrick and some of the surrounding towns are largely closed out of season so that will influence a future stay but the lodge itself was fantastic.

This is a gem in a great location

Had a wonderful stay in Cedar Lodge for a family weekend in Portpatrick. The lodge is situated overlooking the town and is a 1 minute walk from the 1st tee at Portpatrick golf course. If you’re a golfer this is the ideal place to stay if you’re visiting Portpatrick. The lodge is very comfortable and is much like a home from home. Every room is ensuite which is a bonus. On arrival Kate, who is the owner, leaves some bread, butter, jam and some goodies ( choc brownies were delish), which is a lovely touch. It is furnished to a high standard and all linen, towels etc are supplied. 10 minutes walk and you’re down in the town where there are plenty pubs/restaurants to choose from if that’s what you’re after. Great clifftop walks on your doorstep too with plenty wildlife on view. All in all this is a gem and my family and I will be back for a third time within the next year. MAGIC

Beautiful lodge, well equipped, lovely and clean in with great views and ideally situated.

The lodge is spacious, well equipped and is ideally located, being just a short walk from the beautiful harbour of Portpatrick. It is a detached property on a large plot with commanding views of the surrounding gardens and area. The lodge has all the comforts of home and was very welcoming, making it ideal for a lovely and relaxing holiday. Will be returning again, and hope the lodge is available when we do. I would thoroughly recommend HomeAway, Portpatrick and Cedar Lodge.

Cedar Lodge, Portpatrick

Excellent property, equipped to the highest standard and run by a lovely friendly and caring couple. Perfectly located for golfing or walking down to the town which has some fine restaurants and pubs. Lots of activities in the town as well as being a good touring centre for local sights and beaches. The house layout is perfect for 2 - 8 people of all age groups, and everything has been thought of in the layout. Garden and decking space perfect for youngsters, and the rooms which have every comfort imaginable are well proportioned and well decorated. would highly recommend it to all.
