Famous for its salmon and trout fishing, the market town of Newton Stewart is situated in a stunning location between the rolling countryside of the Machars and the Galloway Forest Park. Steeped in history, Scotland's first Christian Missionary landed at The Machars, founding the country's first church in Whithorn in AD 397. The Whithorn Dig Visitor's Centre is also close by, displaying material unearthed through years of excavation projects. Nearby, visitors can enjoy miles of coastline combining a mixture of sandy beaches and rocky shores, both of which are home to a diverse variety of birds. Alternatively, a trip inland will lead to superb walking country in the Galloway Hills and Forest Park. The surrounding area also boasts wonderful sailing, riding and fishing facilities, in addition to a variety of golf courses.

Lots to do in the area during holiday season, but very quiet in winter which we like. Carol the site owner was really helpful when we had a power cut during storm Eowyn by providing us with hot water and a generator to power a heater and lamp. It was freezing!!! Storms notwithstanding, accommodation had everything we needed, comfy bed and was nice and warm. Heaters are provided in bedrooms which heat up quickly. Would stay again if we're in area.

We had fantastic views of the Galloway Hills and the river Cree with the odd sightings of belted Galloway cattle. The weather was kind to us which helped when travelling around the county visiting places, we would recommend Threve Gardens, Culzean Castle and Dumfries House. Unfortunately on the way there the A75 was closed but a telephone call to Carol to say we would be arriving later than anticipated resulted in her giving us an alternative route to take, thanks Carol. Overall we had a very pleasant stay and we would recommend any of the properties on offer.
