There is no television reception, but a small set is provided for those who wish to bring their own video or games. There is a payphone for those who fret at the loss of a mobile signal!

The house is surrounded by over two acres of private land with a small burn, woodland and pond. Beyond this is some of the finest oak forest in Scotland with trees up to 400 years old.   Sheep graze nearby and wildlife predominates so dogs must be kept under strict control. The house and its surroundings can be enjoyed all year round but insect repellent is strongly advised in the summer!

Cottages from drone

We offer short breaks (from 3 nights) or longer stays in our two pet friendly self-catering cottages situated in Glentrool Village, a 25 minute drive from Wigtown.  Both cottages sleep up to five people.  The cottages are directly opposite each other, so potentially also suitable for larger families by booking both cottages.

Our cosy cottages are set in a beautiful, peaceful, rural location. We are the only village in our International Dark Sky Park which is why we get such awesome starry nights.  Glentrool is right in the heart of the stunning Galloway Forest and part of the UNESCO designated Biosphere, with trees, streams, lochs and mountains right on the doorstep.
