    Modern, light, fully equipped lodge with great views across farm and to the sea. So tranquil. Ideal for visits to Mull of Galloway, Patricktown, 2nd hand bookshops at Wigtown and amazing Celtic Christianity site at Withorn. Very close to sea for walks too. Owner very friendly and ensured stay was perfect.

    Glad you had a lovely time. Regards Joyce Property Owner

  • "We enjoyed our stay at Challochmun View immensely."

    It was spotlessly clean, was very comfortable and was well equipped. The views across the valley and down to the sea are amazing. Our hosts were very welcoming and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The location was ideal, being only a few minutes from the A75 and not too far to go for any provisions. There is a pub close by but advisable to book as they were unable to accommodate us for a meal when we called in there. We enjoyed trips to The Mull of Galloway, Galloway Forest Park, Clatteringshaws Loch and also the Stranraer-Glasgow railway line. It was a great week in a beautiful area and I can highly recommend Challochmun View as a base to explore it.

  • "We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay over New Year."

    The owner welcomed us to the lodge and ensured we were settled in. We left the lodge having had a peaceful, comfortable, and relaxing stay. Despite overlooking their field, the tame cows are surprisingly quiet, and we have been lucky enough to spot some beautiful birds in the morning. It was a bit too cold to sit in the garden or on the deck, but I imagine it will be a joy in the summer with the countryside and sea views. The lodge is practically designed for walkers, with Glen Trool, the Southern Upland Way and Castle Kennedy all within a short drive away. We wished this lodge existed a few years ago when we did part of the Southern Upland Way! Within the lodge, there is a sink and storage in the entranceway, which was perfect for washing down the boots and keeping the lodge clean and tidy. The kitchen is well kitted out with a double oven and a microwave. The dishwasher was as clean as a whistle. The bed in the master bedroom... good grief, we wish we could have taken it home! It made it even harder to get up in the morning. We own an electric car, so we were pleased when communicating with the owner that we were allowed to charge the car during our stay. While there's not a dedicated car charger at the lodge, we were able to use our 13A cable through the kitchen window while parked outside the lodge for a couple of nights for a small monetary donation to cover the electricity. The owner did mention that sometimes they move the cows between the fields, so if you plan to do the same, you may need to move the car into the dedicated driveway/pen, but this would have caused us no issues at all. Thank you once again for a wonderful stay. We will be staying again next time we find ourselves in the area (hopefully this time to climb the Merrick!).

    Thank you for your very in depth and complimentary review. Thank u for the money for the car charging too. Much appreciated. Joyce Property Owner

Challochmun Retreats

Resting on the owner's farmland in the wonderful area of Dumfries and Galloway are the Challochmun properties. Consisting of a charming bungalow and a lovely lodge, the dwellings offer a tranquil break amongst peaceful countryside with far reaching views out to the sea. Each property has been thoughtfully decorated with a bright and homely décor, and benefit from private garden space perfect for enjoying the warmer months in. There is a pub conveniently located a mile down the road, to enjoy a whisky or two. The Challochmun Retreats are located just a short drive away from the rural village of Glenluce, where you will be able to stock up on your favourite treats, relax with a coffee at the cafe, or spend some time visiting the idyllic 12th century Glenluce Abbey. Glenluce is also the starting point of the marked Pilgrim Way, a 50-mile route, taking you on a journey through winding paths and quiet roads to the Isle of Whithorn and is often completed by keen ramblers or cyclists. After some time spent soaking up the surroundings of this beautiful valley, head to Newton Stewart, where you’ll find a fine selection of shops and pubs, a museum and golf club, as well as a delightful riverside walk along the River Cree. Often referred to as ‘the Highlands of the Lowlands’, Galloway Forest Park is also just a short drive away, providing dramatic ancient woodlands, breath-taking scenery and an array of outdoor activities for the whole family to enjoy. Further afield, you can venture into the surrounding towns and village such as the picturesque seaside town of Kirkcudbright, steeped in history and quintessentially Scottish. Both properties have views to the Isle of Man, and have access to the nearby 7 Stanes cycle track in the beautiful Galloway Forest. There are an abundance of local gardens nearby including Castle Kennedy, Logan Botanic Gardens, Glenwhan Gardens, Aldouran Wetland Gardens and Threave Gardens. The two properties sit approximately 300 yards from each other.
