Your paradise found is here tucked into the coves between two ancient ports. Like the moon phases it was built to observe, Selkie’s Haven reveals itself gradually—a masterpiece of light, land, and sea. Standing proud on the Southern Upland Way, this lodge is an invitation to solitude, where the rhythm of the tides and winds weave an unbroken connection between past and present. Step inside, where chapel-inspired archways and barrel-vaulted ceilings create an architectural harmony between old-world grandeur and modern luxury. Underfoot, the recycled wooden floor with radiant heating whispers of timeworn stories, seamlessly merging with jade tile-clad bathroom and bespoke joinery. At the heart of the lodge, a modernist kitchen anchors the space—curved walls, bronze hardware, and ceramic-poured concrete blend to create a workspace as artful as it is functional. Original windows frame the endless horizon, inviting moments of quiet reflection, while a collection of gilt-framed oil paintings, antique rugs, and well-thumbed books layer the space with a rich patina of heritage. In the lofted bedroom, the gentle glow of bespoke lighting warms the space beneath a dormer window, where the night sky spills into your dreams. A Frame TV and surround sound Bluetooth speaker allow you to set the mood, whether it be music, cinema, or the natural symphony of the waves outside. Outdoor Indulgence – A Retreat into Nature Outside, the landscaped lawn cascades toward the shore, its wild grasses and native flora shifting with the seasons, mirroring the mineral gradients of the maritime soil. Follow winding paths through rewilded meadows to reach two secluded beaches, perfect for kayaking, rowing, and stand-up paddleboarding. As gannets dive offshore and oystercatchers patrol the tideline, your mornings may be graced by the silent ballet of dolphins breaking the surface. For those who revel in outdoor bathing rituals, a cliffside bath and shower awaits, where steaming water meets the crisp, salt-laced air. Fire up the Green Egg BBQ for an al fresco feast before gathering around the fire pit, the warmth of the flames mingling with the briny breeze. A Gateway to Adventure and Heritage Beyond the lodge, the Southern Upland Way unfolds like a story waiting to be read—an ancient passage once trodden by traders and settlers alike. Nearby, the charming village of Portpatrick offers a glimpse into Scotland’s seafaring past, where fishermen’s cottages hug the harbor, and cozy pubs serve the freshest seafood. Selkie’s Haven is more than a retreat—it’s an experience of wild beauty, historic resonance, and modern indulgence, woven together in a place where land and sea embrace. Here, you don’t just visit—you belong. ## Property amenities ### Bedrooms - Bedroom ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91540000/91531700/91531691/7160ca47.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lochside Glamour: Harriet's Lodestar Lodge with Private Dock on Seaside Estate Portpatrick - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=91531691&PinnedHotelID=91531691&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93480000/93477400/93477338/deefb17a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Saltwater Chronicles: Ultra Luxe Seaside Lodge Stranraer - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=93477338&PinnedHotelID=93477338&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/49000000/48970000/48962300/48962228/0b3401f3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Historic Arcadia: Heritage Coachman Lodge on 2000-acre Seaside Estate Portpatrick - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-22&endDate=2025-10-23&selected=48962228&PinnedHotelID=48962228&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Note from host: Additional pet fee of £60 for up to two dogs ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events Events allowed Contact us for further information. ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.
