8 Bed Cottage in New Galloway

About this property

Celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and other special occasions in this grand manor house on the edge of the Galloway Forest Park - a superb setting for larger groups to create unforgettable memories together. Surrounded by open countryside between the forest and the shores of Loch Ken, this detached property offers the perfect base for water sports, wildlife spotting, and fishing. Bring your own canoes or paddleboards or hire equipment locally to explore the loch with ease. For more adrenaline-fuelled adventures, head to the Galloway Activity Centre (5 miles) for guided expeditions and outdoor pursuits. When exploring the Galloway Forest Park by foot or bike, keep your eyes peeled for incredible wildlife, including red kites, roe deer, red squirrels, and even families of otters. Scenic highlights nearby include Raiders Road (6 miles), Clatteringshaws Loch (7.5 miles), and the Red Deer Range (10 miles).

Elegantly styled with traditional décor, antique furnishings, and soft pastel tones, this impressive house exudes character from the moment you arrive. The spacious central hallway leads to a cloakroom with a locked gun cabinet (available by prior arrangement) and a practical boot room for storing outdoor gear. The contemporary kitchen is fully equipped for effortless meal preparation and includes a casual breakfast area seating up to 10 guests. For formal dining, the separate dining room features a 14-seater table with beautiful loch views and striking artwork. Two inviting lounge areas complete the ground floor: a sophisticated drawing room with a wood burner and stunning views, and a cosy snug with comfortable seating. Both rooms feature TVs for relaxed evenings indoors. The first floor is divided into two sections, accessed via separate staircases. One staircase leads to a private suite with a double bedroom, a single bedroom, and a family bathroom. The main staircase leads to the remaining bedrooms, including a master super-king-size room with an en-suite bathroom featuring a rainfall shower over the bath. There is also a double bedroom, a twin bedroom, two bunk bedrooms sleeping two guests each, a further single bedroom, and a family shower room with a spacious walk-in shower.

Outside, extensive landscaped gardens and sweeping countryside views create a peaceful setting for summer days spent outdoors. Ample outdoor seating invites guests to relax and soak up the surroundings, while generous private parking is available on the gravel driveway. Secure storage for bikes, golf clubs, and canoes is also provided.
