Ideal for lovers of the great outdoors enjoying spectacular views over some of the most stunning scenery in Galloway. The lively market town of Newton Stewart is 5 minutes away where there are excellent facilities including shops, coffee houses, pubs, hotels and restaurants. It is also the Gateway to the Galloway Hills, situated in Britain's largest forest.  The Kirroughtree visitor centre is a short drive away situated within the Galloway Forest Park and offers a wide variety of activities from trails for all abilities, the chance to spot red squirrels and birds, adventure play ground, an orienteering course as well as fantastic mountain bike trails.  There is horse riding and bike hire available as well as guided ranger walks to get close to the Red deer and wild goats. When it gets dark the visitor centre is a great place at night for star gazing and is known as one of the darkest skies in Scotland!  Salmon fishing is popular on the River Cree and there are local opportunities for sailing, golf and hill walking. The RSPB reserve at Wood of Cree is 4 miles and on the Machars peninsula, which stretches 20 miles south, visitors can explore picturesque harbours as well as sampling the local catch.

Lovely clean cottage. Had everything we needed. Bed was very comfy. Massive garden. We took the garden chairs up to the top to sit for the view. The garden isn't secure if you have a dog that likes to wander though as all one big garden with the owners. Our dog was fine and stayed with us. There is a small paved area outside the conservatory door wRead morehich is gated. The owner lives next door and was very friendly. It's in a great place for exploring the area and very quiet and peaceful. Hide

This accommodation provided a very well equipped, comfortable refuge when the weather limited outdoor activities with easy parking and excellent Wi-Fi. The property is well placed for both easy access to the town and for exploring the area by car. Having the host on hand was reassuring and much appreciated. We have no hesitation in recommending thiRead mores cottage as an excellent base for exploring all that this area offers. Hide
