History abounds from the Whithorn Story (earliest Christian community in Scotland) to standing stones, clifftop castles such as Dunskey at Portpatrick and stories of pirates bringing wine and silk from France.
There are lots of outdoor activities from friendly dog walking, 4 nearby golf courses, shooting, fishing, biking and the Galloway Forest Park famous for Dark Skies and Outdoor adventure and hill walking is within easy access.

We have provided extensive information about all activities in the area, dog friendly places, children's entertainment, and adult adventures and local events. For something different take a fast ferry to Ireland from Cairnryan for the day or go to Girvan and take a small boat to Ailsa Craig an ancient extinct volcano famous for curling stones.
We have provided indoor and outdoor games and a library of books for your use if you just want to chill and relax with a bottle of wine or a wee dram and enjoy the gardens. We also provide a welcome pack (and for dogs)and will try to accommodate any special requests. Friendly owners only 3 miles away if you need assistance.
