Immerse yourself in country estate living at this traditional Galloway cottage attached to the Walled Garden in the exclusive grounds of the historic Penninghame Estate – just 3.5 miles outside Newton Stewart. Sleeping four people across three bedrooms, it’s a perfect accommodation choice for families or groups of friends yearning for an elegant retreat to call home while they discover Dumfries and Galloway together. Head into Newton Stewart (5 miles) to stroll along the banks of the River Cree and browse the shops and cafes. Or head to Galloway Forest Park (6 miles) to lose yourself along the peaceful forest trails, or hit the 7Stanes mountain bike network on two wheels. Further ahead, spend a lovely day discovering the historic mill and pretty castle in Gatehouse of Fleet (22 miles), or make a beeline for Galloway Activity Centre (26 miles) to try your hand at archery or stand-up paddle-boarding.
Step inside and you’ll find a warm and inviting open-plan sitting/dining area, which seamlessly blends contemporary amenities with charming original features. Head to the farmhouse-style kitchen to rustle up some of your favourite dishes and share them at the rustic-chic dining table – the views out to the Walled Garden are lovely. Afterwards, cosy up in the sitting area and catch up on your favourite TV shows. There are three elegant bedrooms to choose from – two charming singles on the ground floor, and a generous double on the first floor. A smart family bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the layout.
Outside, fire up the charcoal BBQ and enjoy a leisurely al fresco dinner. Afterwards, toast marshmallows at the fire pit (free to request upon booking). In the morning, explore the grand grounds of the Penninghame Estate. Private parking area is available for two cars.
