Nicely decorated and tastefully furnished.  Repeatedly praised in writing by visitors for it's location and the exceptionally high standard of  the cottage. This farm cottage is situated at the end of a private road. It is quiet but not isolated.  Our family and holiday visitors find it the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of the Galloway Hills while being just a 15 minute drive from the artists' town of Kirkcudbright and the Solway Coast. All accommodation is over one level and comprises of two attractively decorated bedrooms, well furnished sitting and dining area plus a fully equipped kitchen with electric cooker, microwave and all the tools you require to create a culinary masterpiece.

Foodies will be delighted by the cottage's close proximity to Castle Douglas the Food Town of  Dumfries & Galloway.  Castle Douglas is a thriving market town which offers over 50 shops including premium delicatessens, charming cafes and a family-run brewery.  For the active, you can try your hand at watersports at the fantastic Loch Ken which offers sailing, canoeing, windsurfing, water skiing and wakeboarding.  However if you prefer dry land, the activity centre is also great for archery, abseiling and orienteering. For lovers of the outdoors, nearby Galloway Forest Park is not to be missed with over 300 square miles of woodland walks, rare wildlife and world-class cycling trails.  Bird watchers say it is fantastic.   So pehaps you'll go home a Twitcher instead of a Tweeter :-)
