Perhaps you’ve come to the Dumfries & Galloway countryside in search of outdoor activities, or maybe it’s peaceful strolls around pretty gardens and time to soak up some splendid scenery that bring you this way. Or, as Cairnryan is just up the road (20 minutes’ drive away, in fact) maybe you’re just in need of a stopover on the way to or from the Belfast ferry. Whatever it is that draws you up to this part of the world, you’ve made a good choice in staying at Coorie Retreats. This eco-friendly glamping site is a real haven for guests, with luxury accommodation surrounded by fabulous scenery. Five minutes’ drive from the seaside village of Portpatrick (via an A road), this is a handsome spot indeed for a few days spent exploring the area, with coastal scenery, lochs, wildlife and a good number of gardens to visit. And the opportunities to soak up the outdoor lifestyle continue back on site, where you’ll be able to use the open-air cooking facilities (including a barbecue and pizza oven) and spend evenings stargazing by the firepit or creating your own cosy alfresco movie night using the outdoor projector. Mind you, it’s highly possible you’ll choose to spend the evening bubbling away in your private wood-fired hot tub instead… Inside, your cabin has been done up with stylish decor and kitted out with lots of luxury elements including an ensuite bathroom (with toiletries, towels, slippers and gowns included), heating, a big comfy bed, a well-equipped kitchen and a sofa to flop out on. You may never want to leave…

Geodesic dome (deluxe, two person)

Liked: Really cosy pod however few improvements needed.

Disliked: We had to adjust the projector as it was only half on the screen when we got there. The Firestick for the projector was really slow to work. No instructions on how to start the fire inside the pod and there was no under floor heating monitor as mentioned within the welcome pack. We never received a code prior to arriving to get into our pod and had to contact them directly to find this out. Had to keep electric heaters on all night as the pod gets really cold. Outside of pod could be covered to stop rain coming in sideways.
