Our second time at Stewart apartment and it works just as well for us this time. The lounge/dining room is perfect for our group of 11 although the kitchen is too small for such a large group. ( We also felt it lacked some basic amenities we would expect such as salt and pepper. More than 2 dishwasher tablets would also be helpful). The welcome basket of scones, jam, eggs, shortbread biscuits etc is a very nice touch and all were scoffed with relish! The grounds are fabulous and the amazing weather we enjoyed this time made our stay all the better. We did have a few problems getting in to the apartment because the codes supplied by Discover Scotland were out of date and didn’t work. Luckily there were estate staff on hand to help us out. All in all it is a great place to stay for a large group and we will be back again.

Excellent location beside the river Cree. Comfortable apartment which suited the 11 of us very well. The facilities are all there and the main living area is spacious with plenty of seating. The grounds are beautiful and the area around Newton Stewart has plenty to offer.
