Buchan

Self Catering

Glentrool, Newton Stewart

Dumfries & Galloway

From £858 per unit per week

Set in a tranquil, wilderness location surrounded by nature, with direct access to surrounding hills, ancient woodland, forest trails and Loch Trool, the Buchan is a historic 19th Century hunting lodge with impressive environmental credentials. It provides spacious and comfortable accommodation for up to 8 people (maximum of 7 adults plus a child under 12), who have a sense of adventure and enjoy getting away from it all. The house offers excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and general exploring, or you can simply relax in the large conservatory, enjoy the wonderful views, watch the birds, and enjoy off-grid existence.

The Buchan is an eco-house designed to be reliant on nature, with its own hydro-electricity and water supplies. There is full central heating and a wood burning stove provides both heating and hot water. The house facilities are normally straightforward to operate, with guidance provided in the ‘Buchan Manual’. The amounts of power and water available are finite and may need careful management, especially if water levels are low. Most guests enjoy the experience of living in an eco-friendly way within finite resources, but need to be aware that it is different from being on the mains with limitless supplies. There may be times when a practical approach is needed to meet the occasional challenge. Mobile reception (4G) is limited, and there is no TV reception. As of September 2024 Wifi has been installed within the property. Alternative entertainment is provided including a broad selection of board games, a good library, and ample opportunity for conversation and disconnecting from the outside world.

During long periods of very dry weather power can be reduced. High power appliances such as the dishwasher and washing machine may not be available. There is a backup generator and LPG cooker for use on the rare occasions when power is very low.
The hot tub in the conservatory is very popular, but it requires careful management. In periods of very dry weather its use may be restricted or impractical.

There are over two acres of semi-enclosed private land with a small burn and pond. Sheep, cattle and wildlife are all around so pets must be kept under strict control.
