The space Bathed in natural light and warmth from the sun, underfloor heating and woodburner, with great views, this house is designed for fun in any weather. Galloway countryside is like the Highlands in miniature but without the mass tourism. There are hills, lochs, rivers, woodland and a stunning coastline all to yourself. There's abundant wildlife, including red squirrels, otters, deer, badgers, hedgehogs and many birds of prey. There are several castles and gardens to visit. You can enjoy a host of outdoor activities with beautiful golf courses as well as the 7-stanes mountain bike tracks. Galloway Activity Centre at Loch Ken has some hilarious games or you can have a peaceful day fishing or canoeing/paddle-boarding. If it's raining, which occasionally happens here, there are many indoor places to see, including the Cocoa Bean Chocolate factory for a sugar-buzz for children, with a soft-play area, or you can stay warm and dry having a rowdy tournament in the separate games building, which has table tennis, pool, air-hockey table. table football and chess. Alternatively, close the blinds in the games building to convert it into a cosy cinema and snuggle up on the sofas and bean bags for a good film, with home-popped popcorn and a blazing woodburner. On warm days, there's a giant stone horse-shoe seating area on the top lawn to relax and enjoy the view, a large outdoor table and a stone (charcoal fuelled) barbecue. We are on-hand, next door, to sort out any problems and can either leave you in peace to relax and unwind together or else we can advise on places to visit, fishing permits etc and everyone is welcome to help feed the llamas and take one for a walk, to collect eggs and to have a trip in the motorcycle sidecar (depends on the weather). Alan offers evening jamming sessions on the drums and guitar to anyone enthusiastic (regardless of ability).
