"River Ken Cottage" is a charming riverside log cabin located in the serene Galloway Hills, just a short distance from the River Ken and 45 minutes from Dumfries. Ideal for couples seeking tranquility, the cottage offers stunning views and easy access to fantastic walking and cycling routes. Nestled 10 miles from St. John's Town of Dalry, this idyllic retreat is surrounded by nature, where visitors can often spot roe and red deer on the hills. The nearest town, Castle Douglas, provides a variety of goods and services, making it a convenient base for exploring the area.

The cottage is designed for comfort and convenience, featuring a ground floor layout heated by an electric air pump. It includes an entrance porch with a chest freezer, an open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining area, and a cozy lounge with a TV and DVD player. The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances such as a two-ring ceramic hob, microwave with grill and convection oven, fridge, toaster, and kettle. The bedroom, which has a double bed accessible from one side only, offers picturesque views over the river, while the shower room is fitted with a modern shower enclosure, electric rail, WC, and wash basin.

Outdoor amenities enhance the experience at River Ken Cottage, with a covered veranda ideal for al fresco dining, an external picnic table, and a BBQ for those warm evenings. Guests can enjoy off-road parking, and essentials such as all fuel, power, bed linen, and towels are included in the rental. For families traveling with young children, a travel cot and high chair are available upon request. While the cabin is secluded, the owners live on-site, ensuring that assistance is readily available if needed.

Although the cottage is tucked away in a rural setting, it is conveniently located near local landmarks such as Dumfries House and Morton Castle. Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty of activities in the area, including fishing, hiking, biking, and hunting, with the Galloway Activity Centre and New Cumnock Community Open-Air Swimming Pool nearby. Visitors should be aware that there is no Wi-Fi in the cabin, and phone signals may be limited, particularly for those not using EE, making it a perfect getaway for those looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in nature.
