Dirnow Schoolhouse
Self Catering
Overview
Sleeping two guests, Dirnow is an extremely comfortable self-contained wing of a lovingly refurbished Victorian schoolhouse. The accommodation is elegant and spacious and includes quality furnishings, an attractive and comfortable bedroom, a newly fitted pine kitchen, an impressive Victorian-style bath and shower, plus a beautiful conservatory with additional dining area. All rooms are on the ground floor making this property suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
The colourful and perfectly maintained garden includes a well-tended lawn, plethora of delightful flowers and a small patio and garden swing seat, where you can sit and watch out for the red squirrels and wealth of birdlife. There is plenty of parking on the old school playground and undercover parking is available if required.
Conveniently located approximately 15 minutes' drive from Newton Stewart, the 'Gateway to the Galloway Hills' and 20 minutes from Wigtown, the National Book Town, there is plenty for guests to explore. The schoolhouse is an ideal base for fishing with three lochs within 1 mile of the property and if you are keen to spot even more rare birds, the RSPB nature reserve, Wood of Cree, is just 13 miles away.
