Located in Dalmellington, Ayrshire, Scotland, this peaceful cottage sleeps 4 people in 3 bedrooms and allows pets. Situated on over 16 acres of land, the cottage is surrounded by the Galloway forest, waterfalls, streams, and its own woodland. Perfect for walkers and hikers, the Doon valley trail and Galloway forest trail are directly accessible from the cottage, along with opportunities for off-road cycling. The stone-built cottage, around 400 years old, has been recently modernized and has historic links to the McAdam family and General Cathcart, making it a unique and tranquil retreat.
Access to the cottage is recommended via a 4x4 vehicle due to the pot-holed farm track, which may be challenging for cars. Those with impaired mobility may find the cottage access unsuitable. In the summer months, midges can be troublesome, especially on dull, windless days. Using Nivea Skin so soft can help keep them at bay, and it's advised to keep windows and doors closed in the evenings during peak season. The cottage offers a quiet escape in the UK, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
