2 Bed Cottage in Glentrool, Newton Stewart

About this property

Set in the small, tranquil village of Glentrool, this rural getaway offers couples and families excellent opportunities for walking, cycling, fishing and exploring all that this unspoilt corner of Scotland has to offer. The Galloway Forest Park forms part of the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere and offers hill walkers and mountain bikers some of the most dramatic scenery in Scotland to explore. The Glentrool Visitor Centre, less than a mile away, is the gateway to the Galloway Hills, offering maps and information on the local hill ranges. There are ample opportunities to discover waymarked trails, cycle routes and picnic areas by bike or on foot amidst the highest hills of South Scotland. Newton Stewart, 10 miles away, offers everything you would expect of a delightful rural town, home to a lovely selection of independent shops, pubs and eateries, as well as an 18-hole parkland golf course.

The contemporary kitchen/diner that welcomes you into the homely hideaway offers everything you need to rustle up something delicious and enjoy your efforts with loved ones over a glass of something sparkling. Large picture windows flood the space with natural light, which adds to the cheery ambience. The heart of this home-away-from-home can be found in the cosy lounge, which is bursting with homely touches and plush soft furnishings that set the scene for pure relaxation. On a fine evening, throw open the patio doors to the wooden decked area to make the most of indoor/outdoor living amongst views across the village green. Offering versatility, the sofa in the lounge can be converted into a double sofa bed to accommodate an additional two guests. At the end of a busy day’s adventure, the spacious wet room provides everything you need to freshen up and soothe weary walking muscles. There are two bedrooms on offer, one king-size and one single, each providing a haven of tranquillity to retire to.

Enjoying a peaceful outlook across the village green and outdoor dining furniture, the lovely wooden decked area offers an idyllic spot to enjoy al fresco dining and stargazing after sundown. There is parking for two cars.
