Self Catering Scottish Holiday Cottage on Loch Ken, Castle Douglas, Dumfries & Galloway. Wonderfully positioned on the shores of Loch Ken and accessed by a delightful single track road through deciduous woodland, Boat O" Rhone Cottage is an ideal base for a self catering holiday in Galloway. Enjoying a considerable degree of seclusion and right beside the water, it would be difficult to find a better place for a holiday cottage in this area. The house is equipped, carpeted and furnished to a high standard throughout, is double glazed and has full central heating.
Despite the relative seclusion there is a small village shop in Mossdale (2 miles) and the nearby towns of New Galloway and Castle Douglas provide excellent local shopping and places to eat.
Loch Ken is a mecca for water sports with, on the far shore, a marina with water skiing and, further up the loch, Galloway Sailing Centre with instruction and hire of boats, canoes, windsurfers etc plus other adventure pursuits. The loch is a well known coarse fishery and the cottage has both fishing and boating rights on the loch.
The surrounding area offers a huge variety of facilities. Hill walking is obtainable close by and the old railway line (now disused) runs close to the cottage and can be walked for several miles into the hills with their wonderful bird life including the thriving population of red kites. There are a number of Golf Courses nearby and this is great cycling country with access to two ofthe main trails on the 7Stanes network at Dalbeattie and Newton Stewart.
