About this property
This former gamekeeper's cottage, built in 1896, lies up a peaceful glen in the Galloway hills. Here you are away from traffic noise and street lights, and on a clear night see the stars.
The garden is a haven for birdlife and red squirrels . A short distance away are the many attractions of the area, with something to offer for all ages.
The tastefully modernised cottage has been refurbished to retain its original character and features, making it a comfortable family holiday home. It is approached from the Skyreburn road up a short track, through the field beside the cottage to a large fenced car parking area. The small Paradise burn is at the rear of the cottage, through a gate with a secure latch.

Just right for us. Quiet and peaceful location. Plenty of wildlife and off the beaten track. Some nice beaches nearby which were very quiet at the time we visited. Neither us or our two dogs wanted to leave. Thank you all at Discover Scotland.
