Kirkton

Kirkton suits couples and solo travellers looking for a base in Castle Douglas, a market town known for independent food shops and restaurants. The cottage is one storey with a double bedroom upstairs, alongside a bathroom with bath and shower. Downstairs, a sitting room with smart TV and electric fire opens to a dining room and kitchen equipped for self-catering: electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine. One step leads to the entrance, and on-road parking is available outside. Essentials including electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are covered; a welcome pack is provided on arrival.

The high street is a minute's walk away, lined with independent shops, bakeries and delis. Carlingwark Loch and Park, fifteen minutes on foot, has woodland walks and open grassland for picnicking. Threave Castle and Threave Gardens lie within a short drive. The surrounding countryside is open for walking and cycling. Dogs stay free, making it straightforward for those travelling with a pet; however, the cottage does not accommodate children or babies. No smoking inside.
