Situated in a peaceful location within the Galloway Forest Park, Britain’s first nominated Dark Sky Park, and surrounded by rolling hills, this detached former hunting lodge offers a true ‘get-away-from-it-all’ break.
This historical building is set in its own 5 acres, once belonging to the Earl of Galloway, and walking and cycling are available directly from the holiday property. Glentrool, one of the 7 Stanes Mountain Biking Centres, with its many marked trails is close by and offers walking and cycling for all abilities.
Whilst the main lodge offers comfortable accommodation for up to 10 guests, the hidden gem is The Bothy in the garden. The Bothy offers a Pool Table, Dartboard and Blue Tooth speakers, along with a cosy snug with an open fire and a selection of games. There is a covered patio area with a charcoal BBQ which afford guests superb views of the stars on clear nights.
The location offers excellent opportunities for walking, cycling, fishing and there is easy access to the Merrick, south west Scotland’s highest mountain, which offers more demanding walking. The market town of Newton Stewart, 8 miles from the lodge, is recognised as the Gateway to the Galloway Hills and centre for the Newton Stewart Walking Festival. It has a range of shopping facilities, swimming pool, golf course and a cinema. Both Asda and Morrison will deliver to the lodge.
South west Scotland has a wealth of golf courses including Turnberry, Brunston Castle all within easy reach. Dumfries and Galloway area has many sandy beaches, rocky coves and picturesque villages; the area provides ample opportunity to relax in the wealth of scenic and historic attractions.
With its famously mild climate and the balmy influence of the Gulf Stream, Galloway is home to some of the most beautiful and exotic gardens. Ayrshire, with the Ayrshire Coastal Path 100 miles of coastline, easy access to Culzean Castle and Country Park, a favourite with visitors, is a 30-minute drive away. The Wigtown Book Town, Ayrshire Coast and Burns Country provide enjoyable days out.
