Description
Spacious and characterful Galloway Cottage, located in the popular village of Bladnoch.

This charming home with an attractive view to the front across the River Bladnoch and large enclosed garden to the rear with a number of productive apple trees. Wigtown is a pretty, traditional market town and is known worldwide as Scotland's National Book Town, a designation that reflects its dozen or so quality bookshops and annual literary festival. Founded in 1999, the ten day Book Festival is now one of the UK's best loved literary events. As well as offering a good range of local shopping and professional services, Wigtown and nearby Newton Stewart are regarded as natural bases from which to explore the Galloway Forest Park which covers a vast and sparsely populated area stretching north east. The wild landscape, extensive woodland and unspoilt coastline provide many opportunities for outdoor pursuits. There are eight good local golf courses to choose from. The coastline offers sailing and sea fishing and there are safe anchorages at Port William and the Isle of Whithorn. The A75 provides excellent road links and there are railway stations at Stranraer and Dumfries. Newton Stewart is a busy Galloway market town set on the banks of the River Cree in a genuinely rural area and regarded by many as the gateway to the Galloway hills. There is a museum, leisure centre, post office, banks, cinema and a wide range of shops, offices, businesses, hotels and restaurants. The area has a wide range of sport and outdoor activities with opportunities to take shooting in the area, fishing on the nearby rivers, golf, and with an extensive range of walks and cycle paths.
