Curlew Cottage Creetown

Curlew Cottage is on a quiet lane in Creetown. It's a small, whitewashed cottage in a row. There's a little front garden that's yours to use.

It sleeps four. Two bedrooms upstairs and one bathroom. It's a 4 Star place, so it's comfortable and well equipped. The doorways are a bit low in places, which is normal for these cottages. It's got a woodburning stove for chilly evenings.

There's a shop about 500 yards away. A pub and a restaurant are just under a mile. The pub does food.

The cottage is good for the outdoors. You're right in the Galloway Hills. The Galloway Forest Park is close. They've got walking trails and a Dark Sky Park for stargazing. Kirroughtree mountain biking centre is about three miles away if that's your thing.

The coast is about seven miles. There are some nice sandy beaches that way. For a day out, Kirkcudbright is an interesting town with art galleries. Castle Douglas has good food shops. Newton Stewart is the nearest bigger town, about six miles, for supermarkets and a cinema.

Facilities: WiFi, TV, dishwasher, washing machine. Bedding and towels are included. There's bike storage. You can bring two dogs. There's also a cot and a highchair if you need them. The path to the front door is level and the doorway is wide enough for a wheelchair.
