Lymore Lifestyle

Durns underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2021, crafted with care by our family. Our focus on detail was essential to ensure that our guests have all their needs met during their stay. With a vast pool of knowledge within our family, Durns was lovingly restored to its former glory.

Sharing this wonderfully unique corner of the world with our guests is an absolute delight. With the countryside and coastline right at your doorstep, the experience is truly special.
