Settled in the peaceful coastal village of Garlieston, closely positioned to the tranquil waters of Wigtown Bay, rests this wonderful three-storey holiday home, Cowgate Cottage. Enjoying close proximity to both the coast and country of south west Scotland, Cowgate Cottage makes a comfortable base for a family or a group of friends looking to explore this picturesque region. Stepping over the threshold, be welcomed into the spacious sitting room, home to a pair of sumptuous sofas gathered in front of the television, where you can look forward to kicking off your shoes and gently warming your toes with the glow of the woodburning stove in the evening, or escaping the excitement as you nestle into an armchair with a good book. Continuing through the lovely dwelling, discover the open-plan kitchen diner tucked away at the rear, fit with a range of fantastic facilities including an electric oven and hob as well as a handy dishwasher to ensure cleaning up is a breeze! Uncork a bottle of wine and gather together with your loved ones at the dining table to tuck-in to the fruits of your labor, or in the late evening, fire-up the woodburning stove and enjoy a game of cards. Stepping outside, the sheltered patio area provides alfresco dining opportunities whatever the weather, whilst the furniture peppered alongside the banks of the pond offer a tranquil position to enjoy an evening drink before bed. When sleep calls, retreat indoors and choose between four thoughtfully laid-out bedrooms, the first of which, a snug twin room, is nestled on the ground-floor alongside the family bathroom, ideal for guests with limited mobility. Climbing the stairs to the first floor you'll discover the master suite, home to a sumptuous king-size and benefiting from access to it's own dressing room and en-suite, whilst two double rooms, one with an en-suite, are positioned on the second floor. Take advantage of your coastal location and take the short stroll to the peaceful harborside, where you can watch the world go by as the boats sail across the tranquil waters of Garlieston Bay; a truly lovely spot to escape the woes of everyday life. Take a break from doing the cooking and indulge in a delicious bite to eat at the aptly named beachfront pub, The Harbour Inn, or venture to the nearby village of Sorbie for Italian cuisine at The Pheasant. After satisfying your appetite, visit the historic Galloway House to tour the vibrant gardens, where a magical network of trails lead through over 50 acres of woodland, parkland and magnificent botanicals. Jump in the car and journey further inland to the town of Newton Stewart, where you can test your swing with a game at Newton Stewart Golf Club, immerse yourself in local history with a tour of The Museum Newton Stewart, or treat yourself to a spot of retail therapy with a wander through the high street. The picturesque landscape of Galloway Forest Park is within easy reach, decorated in lochs, woodland, wildlife and countless walking, cycling and hiking trails; awarded as a Dark Sky Park, Galloway Forest is an enchanting place to gaze at the canopy of the stars above. Treat your loved ones to a well-deserved escape from reality with a stay at Cowgate Cottage.
