Sometimes all you need is somewhere quiet to escape to with your loved ones and dogs for an opportunity to relax, refresh and revive. Fortunately, this 8 person cottage in Castle Douglas ticks all the boxes for a perfect getaway; well-equipped and homely, rural and tranquil, yet only a stone's throw from excellent amenities. Set feet and paws a-roaming through sprawling countryside by day and warm up with a bite to eat in one of Castle Douglas' dog-friendly eateries. When you are ready to return home, there will be no better way to wind down than with a glass of wine for you and some big, tasty bones for your four-legged friends.
Whether you are reclining in the lounge with your latest read and your pups at your feet, gathering in the kitchen over a tray of amuse-bouches or sharing anecdotes over bottles of fizz and plates of hot grub in the formal dining room, this winsome family home has something for everyone. While the main house brings the relaxation, the outside games room brings the fun, complete with an open fire, seating and array of games, including billiards, darts and table tennis. Challenge your compadres to a game of table tennis before crowning the victor and retreating back to the main house. At night, blissful sleep can be sought from the comforts of one of the six bedrooms located on the first floor.
Along with the games room outside, the property also boasts a tennis court and an enclosed garden with outdoor furniture. Play games of frisbee with your hounds, challenge the group to a fun-filled tennis tournament and later branch off to explore the numerous country walks nearby. Should you feel like breaking off from country pursuits, Castle Douglas has all sorts on offer, including shops, cafes and restaurants.
