Culpee House

A substantial detached house built in traditional style, Culpee House stands on the banks of the River Cree in Newton Stewart, Dumfries and Galloway. The quiet lane setting feels remote, yet the town centre—with its shops, pubs and restaurants—is barely five hundred yards away. The property comes as a whole to yourself, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms spread across two floors, sleeping up to six guests.

Ground level holds two living spaces, each with a smart TV, plus a kitchen fitted with a range cooker, dishwasher and all the essentials for cooking from scratch. Upstairs, the first bedroom has a kingsize bed and ensuite bath; the second is a double; the third contains two singles and a television. A shower room on the ground floor serves the lower level. Heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are all included. The enclosed front and rear gardens offer patio space, garden furniture, a summerhouse and barbecue; there is an unfenced pond in the rear garden. Private parking accommodates six cars, and a bike store is provided.

The location suits walkers, cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts. The Galloway Forest Park and Wood of Cree Nature Reserve are accessible for exploration. Mountain biking routes at Glentrool and Kirroughtree are close by, as is a choice of golf courses. Coastal villages, galleries, gardens and beaches—including one five miles away—punctuate the Machars Peninsula. One well-behaved pet may stay free of charge. No smoking inside the property.
