Located in Annan, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, Westlands Country Park offers a luxurious lodge retreat that accommodates up to eight guests. The lodge features four bedrooms, including two double rooms—one with an ensuite shower—and two twin rooms, making it ideal for families or groups. The open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area creates a spacious environment, while the outdoor decking with garden furniture and a hot tub adds to the relaxation and enjoyment of the stay. Bed linen, duvets, and towels are provided, ensuring guests have a comfortable experience from the moment they arrive.
Westlands Country Park, part of the Wanderwood Lodge Holidays Collection, is nestled within scenic woodlands and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The park is particularly renowned for its clay pigeon shooting facilities, which utilize competition-level equipment, catering to both seasoned professionals and novices. Additionally, guests can enjoy tranquil fly-fishing lakes, providing an idyllic setting for those looking to immerse themselves in the Scottish countryside. For those who prefer a more leisurely experience, the area is perfect for gentle walks or unwinding in the hot tub.
Upon arrival, guests are required to provide a £200 security deposit via a credit or debit card swipe, which is held and released upon departure after the accommodation has been checked. While bathrobe and slipper sets are available for an additional fee, each guest is provided with one set of towels and one toilet roll per lodge. To maintain a peaceful atmosphere, hot tubs and swim spas are not permitted for use after 11 PM, and guests are asked to keep noise levels to a minimum during nighttime hours.
The park offers clay pigeon shooting and fly fishing seven days a week, with advance booking recommended to ensure availability. Group bookings, particularly for single-sex parties, must be pre-approved to avoid any issues upon arrival. Guests can also look forward to the opening of a new visitor center, featuring a bar, restaurant, amenity shop, and gun room, scheduled for completion in the summer of 2020. While some facilities may be temporarily suspended due to social distancing measures, essential services like takeaway options and laundrette facilities will remain operational, ensuring a safe and enjoyable stay for all visitors.
