Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 2 - Balmaclellan, Dumfries and Galloway

Set in a quiet rural location, surrounded by open farmland, this one-bedroom whitewashed cottage is perfect for couples seeking a tranquil getaway. With walks from the doorstep, you can spend your days exploring the bridleways and trails through the unspoilt countryside. Try your hand at a new water sport on Loch Ken (5 miles) or hop in the saddle to ride the trails through the Galloway Forest (10 miles).

Located on a working farm, your charming single-storey cottage enjoys a remote location where you can escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Take in the magnificent views as you dine alfresco at the picnic table or tip your head back for some stargazing in the clear skies above you. The single-storey cottage has a cosy feel to it with neutral decor and bright soft furnishings.

Follow the ramp to the front door and enter your rural retreat. You’ll find everything you need for preparing tasty meals in the well-equipped kitchen to share around the contemporary dining table overlooking the countryside. After a long day of outdoor activities, relax on the comfortable sofa in the spacious lounge.

Beamed ceilings and warm tones make this a cosy and inviting space to sit and share a bottle of wine late into the evening. Relax in the double bedroom and get a peaceful night’s sleep in the restful space. The cottage also has a shower room.

Surrounded by farmland, sit at your garden picnic bench with a morning coffee and listen to the sounds of livestock in the fields or, on warm evenings, share an al fresco supper and watch the ever-changing colours of the mountainside.
