Barley Cottage, Newton Stewart

Dumfries and Galloway. Sleeps up to 4

Settled at the heart of the lively Scottish town of Newton Stewart, lies this quaint, two-bedroom holiday home, Barley Cottage. Perfect for a family or friends sharing, this charming abode has everything you and your loved ones will need for a relaxing, self-catered getaway. Inside, be sure to utilise the fully-equipped kitchen, where delicious, home-cooked meals can be rustled up to be enjoyed at the dining table in the well-laid out living/dining room, complete with plush seating, Freeview TV and a warming electric fire. As the afternoon rolls into the evening, take a glass of your favourite tipple onto the outdoor balcony, a peaceful setting that enjoys excellent views of the tranquil, flowing waters of the River Cree, before you soak in a long, hot bath and eventually retire for a rejuvenating slumber in an inviting double bed. After you've enjoyed a morning coffee, be sure to explore your local area by stopping for a cold pint at the Cree Inn, or book a table at the No.4 restaurant if the designated chef fancies a break from cooking duties one evening. During your stay, it would be a waste not to pay a visit to The Museum Newton Stewart, where you can brush up on your local history. Hop in the car, and stop by the historic landmark of Druchtag Motte on your journey to the fishing village of Port William, where you can enjoy a picnic on the scenic grounds of Maxwell Park before continuing down the coast to the Historic Scotland viewpoint of Barsalloch Fort. Castle Douglas is further afield, where you can roam the calm, picturesque mansion grounds of Threave Garden. Bring your nearest and dearest for a memorable stay in Scotland when booking Barley Cottage.
