Stunning 3 bedroom Cottage on a private estate in SW Scotland
Keeper's Cottage is a wonderful combination of old and new both in its architecture and decor. Three ensuite bedrooms that can all be made up as Superking beds or twins sleep 6 people very comfortably. The master bedroom has a balcony with views for miles - the perfect place for a morning coffee.
A gorgeous living area with two seating arrangements and an open fire is the perfect place to unwind and relax after a day of exploring The Galloway Forest. Play cards or chess or read a book and spend time with family and friends.
The well appointed kitchen has seating for 6 and an aga with separate electric oven.
There is also a separate utility room that can be very handy for the dogs!
Outside there is the estate to explore and walks that are as long or short as you require!
There is also lots to do in the surrounding areas - walking, fishing, wild swimming, adventuring etc etc. We are also on ly 25 minutes from the coast!
The cottage is in The Dark Skies protected area so, perfect for star gazing and campfires (maybe a few marshmallows too)!

This is a beautiful and luxurious property. We really enjoyed our stay here. We are three middle aged women (plus 2 elderly cats) and it was perfect for us with an en-suite bathroom each plus an enclosed utility room for the cats.The estate is beautiful with lovely walks and is close to Castle Douglas, Kirkcudbright and Gatehouse of Fleet, all of which are within a 20 minute drive. We visited Threave, Cally gardens and Broughton house as well as the Red Kite experience and some local alpacas! The walks around the estate were lovely (though bring your midge spray!). We had an amazing week here and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.
