Carsebuie Kircowan, Newton Stewart Dumfries and Galloway

Carsebuie is an enchanting country cottage set in an idyllic location with stunning views of the surrounding farmland and the rolling Galloway Hills in the distance. The cottage is surrounded by a rambling garden and orchard with moss covered stone dykes, an ideal haven for wildlife including the frequent red squirrels and brown and displaying colour nearly all year round. This part of Scotland is renowned for its great choice of activities for all ages.

The property is perfectly situated; you can walk in the surrounding countryside and immediately feel the sense of space and seclusion, but you are near enough to be able to pop into the local village shop for provisions and newspapers. The nearby market town of Newton Stewart offers a whole range of facilities and amenities from the leisure centre, cinema and tennis courts to numerous cafes and restaurants serving local produce and a wide variety of shops.

If you are looking for beautiful unspoilt sandy beaches there is a choice from less than 30 mins drive at Sandhead, Garlieston, Luce Bay and Port William. Mountain biking is popular in the area with nearby Kirroughtree and the famous 7 Stanes. If fishing is your favourite pastime it is possible to obtain fly fishing permits on various nearby lochs and rivers and there are opportunities for sea fishing trips from Cairnryan, Stranraer and Port Patrick. A whole variety of outdoor pursuits are available with horse riding, golf (the region boasts 30 courses most in fabulous settings), shooting, fishing, hill walking, sailing, windsurfing, off road and tank driving and many more all for your enjoyment. There are also numerous places of interest to visit, lighthouses, gardens, museums and galleries, open farms and wildlife parks.

  

Carsebuie is on the outskirts of the Galloway Forest Park, 5 miles from Kircown and 8 miles from the market town of Newton Stewart with cinema, outdoor activity shops, banks, health centre. Stranraer with waterfront pleasure park, supermarkets, shops, restaurants, and leisure centre and Portpatrick are 25 minutes and 30 minutes drive. The Belfast ferry docks at Stranraer, and the Larne ferry docks at nearby Cairnryan.

The wonderful beach of Rigg Bay in Garlieston can be reached within half an hour. Bikes can be hired and delivered to the cottage. Walkers will enjoy the varied choice from gentle walks right from the cottage and a little further at Loch Trool and along coastal paths to the more strenuous but well worth the effort Galloway Hills. Mountain biking at Kirroughtree and the famous 7 Stanes is excellent, and there is good fishing, horseriding and watersports all available nearby. For garden lovers you are spoilt for choice, with a range of at least 9 lovely gardens to visit within the county. Boat trips can usually be taken from nearby Port Patrick, and Cairnryan.
