The Carriage - The Stewartry of Kirkcudbright - Sleeps 6

two ensuite double rooms and two berth childrens bunkroom

Enjoy the luxury of staying in our superb converted railway carriage. We are located at the old station, Bridge of Dee, Castle Douglas. The station is on what was the branch line from Castle Douglas to Kirkcudbright.. The garden sits in a very private location in a wide cutting which is lower than the surrounding countryside. There is a very substantial grassy area which is ideal for children as it is secluded and very safe. Surrounding the carriage is a deck area which is about 60 sq metres with outside furniture provided. The deck is at the level of the surrounding countryside and gives beautiful panoramic views. the accommodation consists of two beautiful double rooms both with en suite facilities and a two berth childrens bunk room. There is a luxurious lounge area with two couches, TV etc and a very well appointed galley kitchen with dining bar.

Location and Local Activities.

We are three miles from the local market town of Castle Douglas famed as the local food town and also very popular for its variety of small independent local shops. There is also a very popular local brewery and visitor centre.

For mountain biking fans we are within 15 minutes of the 7 stanes trails at Dalbeattie which provide trails for the expert and novice depending on ability. For the sailors the local yacht haven at Kippford is a must for both on the water and apres sailing relaxation in the local pubs. There are several very good local golf courses to which we can arrange access and the championship links at Southerness is only 25 miles away. There is excellent local fishing on the river Dee and at Loch Ken as well as sea angling either from the shore or by boat from Kippford or Kirkcudbright.

Childrens Activities.

there are several local attractions for the younger members of the family. Cream of Galloway provides not only an Ice Cream experience but also many childrens activities in their play areas. The Chocolate Workshop at nearby Twynholm is also a fantastic childrens experience. There are two adventure centres, one at Loch ken and the other at Lagganmore which offer a variety of activities for young and old alike.

Local Wildlife.
The wildlife park at Kirkcudbright has a very popular selection of exotic animals on the premises. Fro early spring until late June the Osprey nest and viewing platform at Threave is a must as is the Red Kite Trail which is nearby. In the winter months there is a fantastic visitation of migratory geese around the river Dee and the nearby KenDee marshes.
