  • For mountain bike enthusasts why not try one of the many trails at the 7 stanes in the Galloway Forest
  • For Bird lovers the RSPB at Wood of Cree is just 4 miles away
  • The area is one of the 'Dark Skies' which is perfect for star gazing
Property code: D197B

Sitting in a designated ‘dark skies’ area, this fabulous property is perfect for those who love being out and about; sit beneath the stars with a tipple and a treat after days spent adventuring. Bring your four-legged friend along to discover the best spot for stick-chasing and tail-wagging, too. Return home to this bolthole and unwind in style, ready to refresh and recharge for tomorrow’s excursions.

Sink into comfortable sofas in the charming lounge where patio doors can be thrown open to let the fresh air and sunshine flood inside. Switch on the TV for a cosy evening before heading through to the kitchen in time for dinner. Hungry tummies can be filled in the open-plan kitchen/diner, a smart space which welcomes you to experiment with flavour before savouring each mouthful at the table. Enjoy an al fresco tipple on the patio and gaze across the hills of Galloway whilst your furry guest stretches their legs and sniffs out new scents. Retire to bed in one of two pleasantly styled bedrooms where heads are invited to doze off as they hit the pillows in these peaceful rooms. The master room has an en-suite and a further family bathroom is a great post-walk pit-stop for towelling down soggy fur.

Visit the Kirroughtree visitor centre which is 3.5 miles from home and sits in the Galloway Hills: here you can explore trails, go in search of wildlife and enjoy a spot of mountain biking if you are a two-legged guest. For those of you with four legs who might enjoy a stick chase, paddle or frolic in the sand, travel 14 miles to Garlieston Beach and Wigtown Bay, where dogs are welcomed all year round.

A very quiet, comfortable and well equipped cottage with fantastic views over Newton Stewart and the hills beyond. You can easily walk into town either along the main street or along the cycle way beside the river which is beautiful (although the driveway is quite steep and may be difficult for some). Perfectly situated for exploring the Galloway FRead moreorest, and for both countryside and coastal walks. Favourite places: Wigtown, Isle of Whithorn, Mull of Galloway and Portpatrick. Highly recommended. Hide
