Famous for its salmon and trout fishing, the market town of Newton Stewart is situated in a stunning location between the rolling countryside of the Machars and the Galloway Forest Park. Steeped in history, Scotland's first Christian Missionary landed at The Machars, founding the country's first church in Whithorn in AD 397. The Whithorn Dig Visitor's Centre is also close by, displaying material unearthed through years of excavation projects. Nearby, visitors can enjoy miles of coastline combining a mixture of sandy beaches and rocky shores, both of which are home to a diverse variety of birds. Alternatively, a trip inland will lead to superb walking country in the Galloway Hills and Forest Park. The surrounding area also boasts wonderful sailing, riding and fishing facilities, in addition to a variety of golf courses.

We had fantastic views of the Galloway Hills and the river Cree with the odd sightings of belted Galloway cattle. The weather was kind to us which helped when travelling around the county visiting places, we would recommend Threve Gardens, Culzean Castle and Dumfries House. Unfortunately on the way there the A75 was closed but a telephone call to Carol to say we would be arriving later than anticipated resulted in her giving us an alternative route to take, thanks Carol. Overall we had a very pleasant stay and we would recommend any of the properties on offer.

Comfortable, well-appointed accommodation. We were in The Dairy with the benefit of bathrooms on both floors. Quiet setting with a lovely view across the fields. No noise from adjacent cottages. An easy 2kms walk to supermarkets in Newton Stewart. Highly recommended.
