Park Cottage, situated in Garlieston, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, is a beautifully restored former rectory that offers a unique blend of historical charm and modern luxury. Overlooking the scenic Wigtown Bay, this five-bedroom accommodation can comfortably sleep up to nine guests and is set within the expansive Galloway House Estate. The property not only boasts a main house filled with antiques but also features a newly built luxury cabin that provides additional seating and stunning sea views through large patio doors. The estate is enveloped by 21 acres of private parkland, allowing guests to immerse themselves in nature while enjoying the tranquil surroundings.
The history of Park Cottage dates back to 1740 when the Earl of Galloway chose this picturesque bay for his mansion and to create a Capability Brown-inspired garden. Visitors can still see remnants of this historical landscape, including the avenue where the rector once rode to the mansion's chapel. The estate's storied past is complemented by its natural beauty, featuring ancient trees to the east and open fields to the south, providing a picturesque setting for leisurely strolls and exploration.
Guests at Park Cottage can indulge in a range of luxurious amenities, including a brand-new six-person hot tub that overlooks the sea, perfect for stargazing in one of the UK's darkest skies. The proximity to the coast allows for easy access to Rigg Bay, where families can enjoy a safe, sandy beach just a short walk away. For those seeking adventure, a scenic hike to the nearby Cruggleton Castle ruin offers breathtaking cliff-top views, while the area is also a haven for bird watchers, with a diverse range of species along the coastline.
Located in the rural area of Newton Stewart, Park Cottage is not only a peaceful retreat but also conveniently close to local attractions such as Mossyard Beach and Cally Gardens. The surrounding landscape is ideal for outdoor activities, including game walks and birdwatching, making it a perfect destination for nature enthusiasts. After a day of exploration, guests can return to the comfort and privacy of Park Cottage, enjoying the serene environment and luxurious amenities that make it a truly exceptional getaway.
