  • Home-away-from-home in a tiny hamlet
  • Enjoy watching the wonder of nature, visiting birds and the animals gently grazing. 
  • Large enough for two families to share
Property code: CA032

A large rural holiday home well away from the crowds, with plenty of space for one large family or two small families to share. 

Somewhere tranquil to shirk responsibility for a while, this four-bedroom property will speak to all members of your family, both human and waggy-tailed. Tucked away on a quiet road in a rural idyll in Balmaclellan, Castle Douglas, you will all be able to enjoy your holiday to the tune of exploration and luxuriation. Enjoy the comforts of this carefully thought-out retreat and tear yourself away to uncover an area rich in natural beauty, laced with footpaths and cycle trails. With your two dogs by your side, you will quickly fall for the area's charm – as will they!

Peel off boots and dry off paws and come into the hall; this eight-person property is the perfect place to come home to after a day exploring. When hungry bellies begin to growl, make your way to the kitchen-come-dining room where your dogs will gratefully chow down on their own delicious dinner as plates are served around the family-sized table. Fully satiated, the next port of call is the lounge (complete with wood burner) for some fine conversation, or perhaps the conservatory if you're looking for somewhere quiet to shower the dogs with head scratches as your pour through the pages of a book. Heading upstairs, you will find the four bedrooms ready and waiting to drift you off to sleep.

Take a step closer to the jaw-dropping views and step outside; the cottage has its own enclosed garden so you can enjoy crisp mornings or balmy afternoons breathing in the fresh air as your pups stretch their legs. Making the most of the numerous walks and trails nearby - you will have your pick of routes to enjoy - whilst nearby, the towns of Castle Douglas and Kirkcudbright are 14 and 22 miles away respectively and offer lots of attractions, including dog-friendly eateries.

Just come back from a Week stay at Bartaggart farmhouse . A group of 8 of us from 11 years old and four adults . We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and the cottage was off the beaten track as expected and surrounded by beautiful countryside . The cottage itself was lovely and the hosts friendly . I would go again .

The farmhouse is an ideal location for dog owners who wants to get away from it all but others may find its isolation and the long drives too much.

A spacious cottage with amazing views. The enclosed garden is perfect for children and dogs. Owners were helpful when needed but gave us our privacy. The area is beautiful. We had a lovely day in the Galloway Forest Country Park enjoying the Red Deer Range and the Wild Goat Park. ( A bag of carrots is a must?)

We had a fantastic time. The owners were most welcoming, and offered early check in and late check out. The property was very well equipped, and there was tea/coffee/milk/bread to welcome us. There were enormously cute 2 donkeys (bring carrots :) just outside, and we enjoyed a local walk for 2 hrs, and drove 30 min to Kippford for a beach walk.
