General Details
A clear burn runs alongside the winding avenue that leads to Stable Cottage and ahead the hills and forests emerge as you approach the Courtyard archway to your destination. Cairnsmore Estate offers a �get away from it all' feeling for those looking for a quiet countryside location.
As soon as you drive through the gates, along the avenue bordered by rhododendron and broad-leaf trees, the surroundings evoke a by-gone time. The cottage�s fabulous and peaceful location creates an ideal base for relaxing and exploring this quiet corner of Scotland. There is wonderful walking in the surrounding area (highlighted in the Newton Stewart Walkfest) and the footpath to the summit of Cairnsmore of Fleet (2,300 feet) is a short walk from the cottage. The enclosed garden is south facing and a wonderful suntrap where red squirrels and greater spotted woodpeckers are frequent visitors. The area offers varied interests, both for the outdoor & wildlife enthusiasts and those who enjoy exploring the surrounding market towns and coastal villages.
Other Information
Galloway is in the south west corner of Scotland and is the southernmost region of the country. To the west is the Mull of Galloway peninsula, the closest point to Ireland in mainland UK. Known as the �forgotten corner of Scotland�, offering wonderful scenery, many local attractions and peaceful locations, Galloway is well worth a visit.
The surrounding sea is warmed several degrees from the Gulf Stream and attracts seals, otters and a great variety of sea birds (RSPB reserve with puffins, gannets, etc), and above all the warm, almost frost-free air allows spectacular gardens to flourish � Glenwhan, Castle Kennedy, and the Logan Botanic Gardens grow with plants normally found in the sub tropics.
