Merton Garden Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

A cosy cottage in a peaceful, secluded location and with fine views of the surrounding countryside.
The cottage is an excellent base for exploring this delightful area. Convenient for forest walks readily available in the nearby extensive Galloway Forest Park, Britain's first designated Dark Sky Park, easy access to the Southern Upland Way, and for the more adventurous there are plentiful opportunities for hill walking. Located throughout south west Scotland are a large network of cycle tracks including stages of the Forestry Commission 7Stanes mountain bike network, with the local stage being at Kirroughtree. A variety of beaches are within easy reach, and there are several golf courses nearby. Newton Stewart is within three miles, offering shopping and recreational facilities with a variety of hotels and pubs for eating out.

Nice location
It was a nice quiet location. Decor a bit dated, needed £1 coins for the meter. Enjoyed watching the swallows feeding their babies. Had no communication with the property owner but couldn’t leave the star rating blank.

Fantastic cottage in a beautiful location. Near to all you need. May be a bit cold in winter with no central heating, although the log burner will keep the living room nice and warm.
