The Savannah Lodge, located in Annan, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, is an ideal retreat for families or small groups, accommodating up to four guests in its two well-appointed bedrooms. The lodge features a thoughtfully designed layout with a double room at one end and a twin room at the other, each boasting en-suite shower rooms. This configuration allows for privacy and comfort, making it perfect for different generations to enjoy their own space while still being together. The lodge's central living area is particularly striking, featuring a full-height partition that separates the kitchen-dining area from the lounge, creating a welcoming atmosphere for relaxation and socializing.
One of the standout features of the Savannah Lodge is its outdoor hot tub, complemented by a private decking area, offering guests the chance to unwind while taking in the scenic views of the surrounding countryside. Westlands Country Park, part of the Wanderwood Lodge Holidays Collection, enhances the experience with its serene woodland setting and proximity to the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The park is well-regarded for its clay pigeon shooting facilities, which cater to both seasoned shooters and novices, making it a unique attraction for those looking to engage in outdoor activities during their stay.
In addition to shooting, the park offers tranquil fly-fishing lakes, adding to the quintessential Scottish countryside experience. Guests can choose to explore the natural beauty of Dumfries and Galloway through leisurely walks or simply relax in the hot tub, allowing others to take on more active pursuits. For added convenience, a £200 security deposit is required upon arrival, which is held but not charged to the account. Basic amenities such as towels and toilet rolls are provided, while additional items like bathrobe and slipper sets can be rented for a nominal fee.
Guests are reminded to respect the park's community by observing quiet hours after 11 PM and adhering to any operational guidelines in place for safety. The park is undergoing construction for a new visitor center, slated to include a bar, restaurant, and amenities shop, set to open in Summer 2020. While some facilities may be temporarily unavailable due to health guidelines, essential services such as takeaway options and laundrette facilities will remain accessible. Nearby attractions include Annandale Distillery, Spoilt Spa at Smiths, Dino Park, and Lockerbie Ice Rink, providing additional entertainment options for visitors seeking to explore the area.
