Tempo

About this property

Discover this idyllic, Scottish, hidden retreat Tempo is a beautifully romantic hideaway for two, set within the expansive grounds of a stunning Estate on the southwest coast of Scotland. Surrounded by mature trees and sun-filled gardens, this one-bedroom lodge offers a calm and intimate sanctuary, with the sea and the village of Portpatrick both close at hand.

Inside, the lodge has been designed to feel warm, comfortable and quietly refined. Underfloor heating and a woodburning stove create a welcoming atmosphere throughout the year, while the open-plan living space allows for relaxed days spent indoors. The kitchen is well equipped for simple self-catering, and large windows frame views of the enclosed garden, drawing natural light into the heart of the space. The bedroom features a super-king bed and flows into a modern ensuite bathroom with a rain shower, creating a restful and well-considered retreat.

Outside, Tempo enjoys a private garden that feels both sheltered and peaceful. Seating areas provide space to slow down and enjoy the surroundings, whether starting the day with coffee or unwinding as evening falls. An outdoor bath tucked beneath greenery adds a memorable element, offering a unique way to relax beneath open skies. Beyond the garden, the wider estate invites gentle exploration, with woodland paths, gardens and open spaces leading towards the coastline.

Whether you are looking for a quiet coastal escape or time to disconnect and recharge, Tempo offers a thoughtful balance of comfort, privacy and natural beauty, making it an ideal retreat for couples seeking a slower pace and a strong connection to their surroundings.

Tempo sits within the peaceful grounds of a gorgeous estate on Scotland’s southwest coast, a setting defined by gardens, woodland and easy access to the sea. Sheltered among mature trees, the lodge enjoys a quiet and tranquil position that feels naturally secluded while remaining close to the coastline and the welcoming village of Portpatrick.

From the estate, guests can enjoy gentle walks through landscaped gardens and along winding paths that lead towards the shore. The nearby coastline is known for its dramatic views, changing light and sense of openness, making it ideal for unhurried walks and moments of stillness by the water. Beaches in the area are largely unspoilt and offer a simple, restorative escape, whether for early morning strolls or relaxed afternoons spent listening to the waves.

Portpatrick lies just a short distance away and adds character to the setting. This traditional harbour village is known for its relaxed atmosphere, colourful buildings and small selection of cafés, pubs and local shops. It provides a charming contrast to the quiet of the estate, offering somewhere to enjoy a meal or explore without the feeling of a busy resort.

The wider surrounding area is celebrated for its natural beauty and slower pace of life. Rolling countryside, coastal paths and open skies define the landscape, encouraging visitors to disconnect from everyday routines. Whether exploring on foot or simply enjoying the stillness of the estate, the location of Tempo supports a calm and restorative stay shaped by nature and the sea.
