Newton Stewart Local Activities
Standing in eight acres of landscaped grounds on the edge of Galloway Forest Park, this historic country mansion offers its guests individual attention and care in surroundings reminiscent of a bygone age.
The splendid isolation of the huge Galloway Forest Park is right on your doorstep. Glen Trool (pictured below) is well worth a visit, where the hill walker is rewarded by breathtaking views over Loch Trool.
Along the Solway Coast lie many secluded bays, and the quiet country roads make driving a pleasure. Visit one of the area's famous gardens, warmed by the Gulf Stream.
The Machars of Galloway is an area of great religious significance, with Whithorn known as the "Cradle of Christianity". Nearby Wigtown is Scotland's Book Town, with many charming shops selling antiquarian and specialist books.
Whatever your interests there's something in this quiet corner of Scotland to make your holiday memorable, and bring you back again.
