Extremely peaceful cottage situated in over 16 acres of land, surrounded by the Galloway forest, waterfalls, several streams and it's own meadows and woodland. For walkers, the Doon valley trail and the Galloway forest trail is directly accessible from the cottage, which is perfect for walking/ hiking and off road cycling.
Our stone built cottage has recently been modernised, but is around 400 years old with historic links to the McAdam family and General Cathcart.
It is uniquely located in a wonderful Dark Sky area; secluded, surrounded by wildlife (over 30 different types of birds in summer), deer, pine marten, badgers, red squirrel, hares and with the nearest and only neighbour over 1mile away, and yet only 15 mins from the village of Dalmellington. You won't find a more peaceful place in the UK!
It is strongly advisable that access via the farm track is via 4x4 as although accessible by car, the track is pot-holed in many places and needs great care with driving, cottage access not suitable for those with impaired mobility. As is the case with large parts of Scotland, midges can be troublesome especially on dull, windless days in the summer months. Nivea Skin so soft appears to keep them at bay. It is also recommended that windows and doors are closed in the evenings over the peak season.
