This country cottage in Castle Douglas, with views over the Fleet Valley Conservation Area, is the most idyllic retreat for groups of up to ten people, your biggest dilemma each day will be whether to spend an extra luxurious hour in bed or to head straight out for another walk in the glorious surrounds. Only 3 miles from the coast, 5 miles from Galloway Park and 9 miles from Kirkcudbright with its hearty spattering of shops and restaurants, you will simply be spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding what to do.
Located in Dumfries and Galloway, this five-bedroom family property is a great place for you to simply feel at home. Summer retreat or winter haven, you can start and end each day enjoying the comfortable furnishings within its walls and surrounding area. From the extensive gardens to the two lounges and cosy bedrooms, it’ll be hard to find your favourite spot but one thing is for sure: whether you are looking to socialise or wind down, there will be somewhere absolutely perfect.
Making your way across the ground floor of the cottage, you will come to a spacious family lounge-come-dining room, complete with garden access and all sorts of gadgetry for movie nights at home. Ensuring zero squabbles over the remote and offering somewhere quiet to curl up with a book, a second lounge is located next door, warmed by a wood burner-effect electric fire. For the foodies in your clan, the kitchen will be a real treat for the eye and tum, well-equipped with everything you could need for any culinary creations.
Found at the opposite end of the house on the ground floor, you will discover a king-size bedroom, a twin bedroom and a bathroom with a shower. Upstairs, you can take your pick of another king-size bedroom with lovely views over the garden, a double and a twin bedroom. To complete the picture, there is also a bathroom with a shower on first floor, making sure no one has to wait in line for their morning rinse or evening soak.
A real draw, this self-catering cottage has the added advantage of wonderful outside space for guests of all generations to enjoy. When the sun is shining, pour outside and take a seat on the patio and get the BBQ sizzling. While the children zip across the lawn ready to launch into an enthusiastic game of tag, sit back and enjoy the views over the Fleet Valley conservation area and feel yourself slip into holiday mode. There is also a bike storage area so you can make the most of the scenery on two wheels.
