Surrounded by mesmerising scenery and offering creature comforts throughout, this lovingly modernised farmhouse provides the perfect escape for friends and family seeking a peaceful retreat in the scenic Scottish Uplands. This detached holiday home is ideally positioned between the artists’ town of Kirkcudbright (5 miles) and the charming Fleet Valley town of Gatehouse of Fleet (4.5 miles), giving you two wonderful local destinations to explore, each offering galleries, pubs and independent shops. Stargazers will be captivated by the nearby Kirkcudbright Dark Space Planetarium (5 miles) and the vast expanse of Galloway Forest Park (8 miles), the UK’s first designated Dark Sky Discovery area. The forest is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with scenic walking trails, tranquil lochs, abundant wildlife and excellent mountain biking routes. Enjoy watersports or peaceful fishing afternoons on Loch Ken (18 miles), or venture to the Red Deer Range (25 miles) for the chance to spot majestic roe deer in breathtaking surroundings.

The spacious kitchen is beautifully arranged and features a generous walk-in larder, while the elegant lounge/diner offers the perfect setting for gathering together over long meals. When dinner is done, sink into the sofas and armchairs, switch on the Smart TV with Sky and unwind for the evening.

A second family bathroom serves this floor, while a cosy first-floor snug provides an additional peaceful space to relax, read or simply soak up the scenery.

Would nice to have a couple of tea bags and a pint of milk in the house on arrival after a 6 and half hour drive. Fortunately the Spar in Gatehouse was open. This is a very small point in what was a great place to stay and would not stop us going back.

A beautiful house with everything you could wish for in a self catering accommodation. Spacious and comfortable rooms, a very comfortable bed and peace and quiet, easy to sleep well here. A very well equipped kitchen with a full array of utensils and crockery. A lovely garden to sit out and enjoy, should the weather be kind to you. The setting is Read morefabulous, on a quiet road, not far from Kirkdcudbright. The owner, Christine was incredibly accommodating when we had a problem with our car, allowing us to check in very early and being sympathetic to our plight. Sadly we had to cut our stay short due to our car problem, but we would highly recommend this beautiful, peaceful farmhouse and would happily stay there again. Hide

This is a lovely property, more than adequate for our needs , and in a rural setting with a pretty semi-wild garden. Our host was responsive to our queries. We were the first guests since the winter and although the house was ready for us one or two things were overlooked. The downstairs wet room had a rim of black mould around the water in the panRead more, the salt grinder had no salt. However most significantly the wet room shower was not working, a major oversight. Fortunately my husband although still in recovery from knee surgery was able to move to the upstairs bedroom and use the upstairs shower room. The house guide gave minimal instructions re operating the TV, we are not used to a Sky system. And we overlooked the right remotes on a side table and found others which had no batteries. Our hostess responded and was very understanding when I rang back to say I had found the right ones in working order and she explained the system. I had mentioned that the battery bedside light in the top bedroom was too dim to read by , and she offered a rechargeable one which worked well as I was able to use my own charger if needed. It is obvious that the property can be used as a holiday care home, but is well equipped for family use when it rains. We enjoyed the wildlife, especially birds, and with permission enjoyed using our light moth trap to see many moths new to us. The kitchen and utility facilities are excellent and the heating good. We had nearly two weeks of sunshine which enhanced our visit. Hide

Great secluded location between Kirkcudbright & Gatehouse of Fleet. A tastefully decorated period farmhouse with all the essentials we needed for a well earned break.
