The Byre @ Camp Douglas
The Byre is in Glenlochar, near Castle Douglas. It used to be a barn, but it's a proper house now. It sleeps six. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms. One is an en-suite off the main bedroom. It's got a 4 Star rating.
There are nice views over Loch Ken from the front. The living room is big and gets a lot of light. There's a gas wood burner stove for cooler evenings. The kitchen has everything you'd need, and the dining table is in there.
Outside, there's a shared courtyard at the front. But you get your own private garden at the back, which is fully enclosed. There's a summerhouse out there. It's quiet.
It's about a five minute drive into Castle Douglas. That's a small town with good butchers and bakeries, a co-op, and some nice places to eat. The nearest pub is about three miles away.
If you like walking or cycling, you're set. You're right by Loch Ken. The Galloway Forest Park is close, and that's a Dark Sky Park, so the stars are good on a clear night. The 7Stanes mountain biking trails at Kirroughtree and Dalbeattie are within 30 minutes. There's a red kite feeding station nearby where they feed the birds at 2pm. You can see that.
For a day out, Threave Garden is worth a visit. The coast and some good beaches, like Sandyhills, are about a 30 minute drive.
Facilities: everything on the list is there. Wifi, washing machine, dishwasher, cot and highchair if you need them. Bedding and towels are included. There's parking. One well-behaved dog is allowed.
