Two cosy wee semi-detached stone cottages set in the woodland garden of the owner's home Duddingstone Lodge.
Duddingstone Lodge was once a Gamekeepers cottage and is situated in the rolling countryside of the Bladnoch valley between Kirkcowan and Wigtown in the Machars, a beautiful and historic part of Dumfries and Galloway, South West Scotland.
The cottages offer a peaceful retreat to those wishing to escape the hustle and bustle. Also an ideal location for enjoying the great outdoors, be it walking; cycling; bird watching; horse riding; fishing; sailing; shooting; golf; 4x4 off road driving or motorcycling. There are also many ancient sites; castles, houses and museums to visit, along with numerous gardens which thrive in the gulf stream, e.g. Logan Botanic Gardens.
Wigtown - Scotland's National Book Town only 4 miles away can provide for all your day to day requirements not to mention the numerous book shops to browse in and many places to eat out, For the whisky lovers the Bladnoch Distillery is only a few minutes drive from Wigtown.
