3 Bed Cottage in Castle Douglas

About this property

Situated close to some of Scotland’s finest lochs for freshwater fishing, this rustic holiday home is a fabulous destination for those hoping to get the very best out of the surrounding area. The property comes with a designated fishing permit for nearby Loch Ken (4 miles), perfect for water sports, wild swimming and peaceful nature trails. Look out for swooping red kites in the sky above as you move around the loch or venture out late at night and take advantage of the area’s Dark Sky Reserve status. The borders of Galloway Forest Park sit right on your doorstep, with direct footpaths leading into the forest scenery from the property. Discover Raider’s Road (5 miles), a 10-mile forest driving route that can be enjoyed by walkers, cyclists, horse riders or those who prefer to admire the scenery from the comfort of the car.

Lovingly maintained with a traditional feel, the decor and atmosphere of this two-storey house have been kept rustic throughout, complete with original design features. Make your way inside to find the functional kitchen/diner, a farmhouse-style space with an authentic AGA cooker and a breakfast table ready to host all three meals of the day. Next to it, a utility room adds convenience with laundry facilities and space to store suitcases or outdoor gear. Also on this floor, the lounge is a restful haven complete with overflowing bookshelves, cushy sofas and a delightful wood burner, the perfect setting for unwinding with the TV on and your feet up. A downstairs WC can be found along the hallway, as can a cosy twin bedroom with wonderful countryside views. Move upstairs to find the two remaining bedrooms: a delightful double and an attractive twin. All three bedrooms share use of the family bathroom.

Outside the property, the tranquil unenclosed garden provides ample lawn space for children or pets to play. Private parking is generously provided at the front of the property.
