Overview

WE ARE DELIGHTED TO WELCOME THIS SPACIOUS COTTAGE TO OUR PORTFOLIO ideal for large families or friends to get together

Ceardach is a charming and spacious cottage nestled in the quiet village of Gelston, just 2 miles away from the bustling market town of Castle Douglas. This is the perfect destination for those seeking tranquillity, comfort, and experience rural Scotland.
The spacious accommodation is ideal for larger family groups or friends to get together. With four generous sized bedrooms, one of which is on the ground floor with an ensuite shower room makes it an ideal base for a multi generation holiday.
The garden to the rear of the cottage, along with its extensive patio is the ideal place to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun and relax after a long day exploring the area, whilst listening to birdsong taking in the surrounding countryside views across the fields. It is equally as beautiful on a cold, crisp clear winter's night to enjoy some amazing star gazing.
Although in a rural location, Ceardach is less than a 5-minute drive from Castle Douglas. The small, rural market town is known as the ‘Food Town’ offering a wide range of amenities. These include a range of interesting independent shops, art galleries, a community run theatre which doubles as a cinema, cafes, restaurants & pubs, a swimming pool, a 9-hole golf course, and a small independent brewery.

Ceardach is centrally located in the superb outstanding scenic area of South West Scotland including the Solway Coast making it perfect for enjoying the outstanding sandy beaches and cliff top walks within a 20-minute drive. Water sports are available on the Solway and also on nearby Loch Ken at the Galloway Activity Centre. Fishing is available locally, whether it be Game, Course or Sea fishing. The National Trust for Scotland's Threave Estate is close by where the House and surrounding gardens offer an oasis of tranquillity. The Estate offers the chance to see Ospreys at work in the summer months and Threave Castle which is located on an island surrounded by the river Dee. For the naturalist there are a number of Core Paths around Threave Estate which offer fascinating views of the surrounding countryside and wetlands, with the Red Kite Trail also close to the town and slightly further afield are the nationally important wildfowl reserves of Mersehead and Caerlaverock.
