Accommodation

The cottage has gas central heating and double-glazing throughout, making it warm and cosy at any time of year.

Accomodation includes one double and one twin bedroom on the first floor (each with duvets), while on the ground floor there is a large, comfortably furnished lounge with open fire, tv, dvd and cd player;  a well-equipped modern dining-kitchen, with electric cooker, washer, microwave and fridge and a good supply of cooking utensils etc.;  and a bathroom with electric shower. All bedlinen and towels are provided. On request, we can also offer a highchair and travel cot for those with young children, at no extra cost - please supply your own child's bedding.

To the rear of the property, a good-sized garden, with patio seating area and pond, leads up to the woods at the rear, and offers views to the surrounding hills.  If you are lucky, you may even see red squirrels and deer feeding in the garden. Please note the garden is partially terraced and may not be suitable for those with mobility problems, and small children should be supervised at all times.

Dog owners are welcome to bring a canine companion with them, at a small extra charge - we just ask you also bring their own bed, and do not allow them on sofas and soft furnishings.  Unfortunately the garden is not fully enclosed, but there are ample dog-walking opportunities right on the doorstep.

There is unrestricted on-street car parking directly outside the cottage.

Closer to home, the East Stewarty Coast (National Scenic Area) offers a variety of clifftop walks and lovely coastal villages, with Kippford and Rockliffe only ten minutes away - or about a 3 mile walk through the woods at the rear of the property, and Sandyhills, with its sandy beach, just a short drive further along the coast.

 The area is ideal for walking, with a number of spectacular coastal paths on the doorstep, and even in mid-season you can often find your own secret beach. The nearby Galloway Forest Park and surrounding hills offer further opprotunities to enjoy the glorious scenery and wildlife of the area, including the Galloway Red Kite Trail. The more challenging terrain of the Galloway Hills (including the Southern Upland Way) is also within easy reach.
