Wigtown, one of Scotland's book towns and home to a ten-day annual book festival is a twenty minute drive away.

What guests are saying
An outstanding property.
The house is very spacious, comfortable, and very well equipped, with ample cutlery, crockery and cooking utensils; ideal for a large group. There are two large bedrooms and a bathroom each side of the central staircase, affording a degree of separation and privacy for two family groups. The extensive gardens provide shelter and seclusion, with lawns, a pond and lots of interesting plants. The house is surrounded by farmland, with deer and other wildlife frequently seen in the garden and nearby fields. The coast is within an easy walk and the villages of Whithorn and Isle of Whithorn are a short drive away. There are spectacular views along the coastal path. A wonderful property and very good value.
Loved the house, proper family home and who doesn’t love cooking in an Aga.
Great location, we roamed as far as Portpatrick, Mull of Galloway and Kirkcudbright. Good walk along the coast from the house to Burrowhead and back via farm tracks. Favourite local walk was Garlieston to Cruggleton Castle. Delicious food at the Steam Packet Inn. Thanks for the generous firewwood supply!
What an amazing place, the listing does not do justice to the fantastic gardens, and we visited out of season too (they are at there best in May).
The house is great too but it's the garden and general area that are the stars. There are very few people around and we walked the paths and tracks direct from the house for miles without seeing a single person. There is a wealth of wildlife too, I recorded well over 100 species of moths during the week including several new for VC74 (those that this will interest will know what it means). We really can't wait to go back again.
