Bobbin Cottage is surprisingly spacious Galloway Cottage located in the popular village St Johns Town of Dalry. This beautifully renovated property is currently rented out as a successful short term holiday rental by the current owners but also be well suited as a permanent home.
To the rear of the property is a generous private regard garden which backs on to neighbouring farmland.
Dalry is an attractive village with wide streets and it has an active community. In the heart of the village there is a village store and both the Clachan Inn and Lochinvar Hotel provide bar and restaurant facilities. Dalry is within the Glenkens which is well served by activities based at the Catstrand in New Galloway bringing community and arts facilities and events to the area. Dalry Town Hall and Community Centre also offer cultural and other events including a monthly producers market.
The nearby town of Castle Douglas is a thriving Galloway market town, lying approximately 16 miles from Dalry, enjoying an enviable range of shops and other facilities in a town now promoted as a “Food Town”. The town also has a wide range of facilities including excellent primary and secondary schools, modern Health Centre, supermarkets and a thriving community run theatre, The Fullarton, nearby.
The south-west of Scotland is a genuinely rural area with its gentle rolling landscape, mild climate and dramatic coastline. The area has a good range of sport and outdoor activities with opportunities for fishing on the nearby rivers, hill walking on the nearby Southern Upland Way or Galloway Forest Park, water sports on Loch Ken and of course golf. There are also many beautiful gardens nearby including the National Trust Gardens at Threave.
