About this property

Unique detached 19th century lodge cottage in a picturesque location on the edge of the popular Cally Woods and Fleet Forest. A short rough unmade track leads to this idyllic rural cottage making it a peaceful retreat, yet only 2 miles from Gatehouse of Fleet with its shops, crafts and restaurants.

The cottage has views of the rolling hills of Galloway with an enclosed terraced garden to the back. To the front, there is a woodland garden with bridges over a small stream, and a large wildlife pond, with a deck for relaxing. To help you enjoy your stay, books, local maps and information, games and toys are provided.

The woods are a haven for wildlife including bats, red squirrels, badgers and deer which can all be seen from the cottage windows. The cottage is ideally situated for walking and cycling with trails and paths, which lead through the forest and down to the coast, literally right on your doorstep! Cycle hire is available in nearby Castle Douglas. The large sandy beaches at Sandgreen and Carrick, with its rock pools, are nearby and make for great days on the beach for family outings. The area also has plenty of opportunity for golf, riding, water sports on Loch Ken and fishing (lake and sea) all within easy reach.

    Enjoyed the week and cottage is warm and cosy, it is in need of decorating and a really good clean as it was not overly clean.

    This was our first visit to Bar Hill lodge and won't be our last. Cottage was clean and conformable with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Plenty of wildlife about including nuthatches, warblers and goldcrest. If you watch closely you might see the voles and shrews that live in the dry stones walls around the cottage. Bruce, our 11yr old chocolate lab loved the woodland walks and a cool dip in the pond. The garden is secure so you can let your dog out unsupervised although small dogs might be able to squeeze through the gate. If you take a walk through the woods, look out for the temple, a very unusual find. Had a lovely text from Cheryl to make sure everything was OK on our arrival. We will definitely be back.

    Cottage is in lovely position but track to reach it is not always easy. No mobile phone signal and some broadband problems too. That said, we really enjoyed our week here exploring the area.
