Visit the nearby Ellisland Farm (5.5 miles) home of world-famous poet, Robert Burns and magnificent Drumlanrig Castles and Gardens with adventure playground and tea rooms (17 miles). Explore the magnificent Solway Firth spanning over 200 miles of spectacular coastline. Mountain bikers will be delighted with the renowned 7stanes trails at Mabie Forest (12 miles). Galloway Activity Centre, located on the banks of Loch Ken offers a great choice of water sports like paddleboarding, windsurfing, kayaking and activities including climbing towers with zip wire, laser tag and archery (24 miles). Or explore Galloway Forest Park, which was the first Dark Sky Park in Europe.

Step inside this quirky, period, converted stable block and into the hall, which provides a perfect space to store your outdoor clothing. The layout of this beautiful old building is slightly unusual with the bathroom located up a separate flight of stairs from the bedrooms. To reach the charming family bathroom, you’ll head upstairs from the hallway, while the lovely open-plan living area is accessed down the stairs from the hallway. Relax on the comfortable sofas after a day out exploring and perhaps watch a great movie on the Smart TV. Cook up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen and enjoy romantic or family meals around the dining table and plan your day ahead. Finally, you can reach the bedrooms via two flights of stairs leading up from the living area you will find a light and bright spacious king-size bedroom with ample storage space and finally completing the accommodation is the lovely twin bedroom.
