This fantastic conversion, formerly a stable block, is situated in a peaceful location in the heart of the Galloway Dark Sky Park, recognised as one of the twelve best stargazing sites in the world, and the first Dark Sky Park in the UK. Galloway Forest Park is Britain’s largest park, with 300 square miles of wild beauty waiting to be explored. The park boasts tranquil valleys, rugged rock faces, forest, moorland, lochs and ancient woodland as well as a huge diversity of wildlife, including red and roe deer, wild goats and many birds of prey. The park has also been awarded the status of only one of four Dark Sky Parks in the western world, and when the sun sets, enthusiasts come to wonder at the universe revealed above. A fantastic retreat no matter where your interests lie. Walking direct from the door is a delight with many forest paths and walks to explore. Cycling on the quiet roads is a very popular pastime, and fly fishing is available on Lochanbreck Loch for rainbow trout, with day permits available, and pike fishing on nearby Loch Ken. The mini observatory in the garden offers an opportunity to observe the birds at the feeders with, bird identifier books on hand, and red kites can be seen soaring above. Its location in the Dark Sky Park gives the most amazing skies so sit back and star gaze, and identify the stars from the charts. For dog walkers there is a superb dog cleaning area, with heated shower, shampoo, dog treats and towels, so after a day tramping the hills it is so easy to clean your pampered pooches before they curl up in front of the cosy wood burner. There are luxury holistic treatments available (by appointment only and booking separate, contact the owner direct), including relaxing massage, facials, Indian Head Massage and Reiki.
