The cottage was a great. It was very clean and comfortable and in a great location centrally located in the Galloway Forrest. There was a nice back garden that made it easy having our dog with us. Beth and Dave were great hosts and we hope to be back someday soon. My wife had forgotten a pair offer shoes and before we even realized it, we were contacted letting us know so they could be posted back to us.

*About us* .................. We are Dave and Beth, and we are lucky enough to live in beautiful Glentrool in the Galloway Forest. We moved here 10 years ago and love it here :-) Culsharg Cottage is next door to our house and we split our time between running the cottage and various other things! Dave is a professional photographer, and living in the Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park he takes advantage of the starry skies here. You can see some of his photos, all of the local area, in the cottages. Beth designs and makes jewellery (you will find some of her pendants for sale at Glentrool Visitor Centre) and is also a student with the Open University, studying for a maths degree. We both love the outdoors and enjoy running, loch swimming (Beth) biking (push bike and motorbike - Dave), and hill walking (both of us!). We love exploring both here in Glentrool and all over our beautiful wee country. We are always happy to chat about the best ways to enjoy our amazing countryside, and offer suggestions for walks/bike rides/etc. If wild swimming is your thing, Beth is swims regularly in our local lochs and is always happy to have extra company and show you the best swim spots.
*About the area* ........... Culsharg Cottage is a cosy two-bed bungalow in Glentrool, the only village in Galloway Forest Dark Skies Park. It's a beautiful, peaceful, rural location, with fabulous starry skies and plenty of biking, wild swimming and walking nearby. We are right in the heart of the stunning Galloway Forest and part of the UNESCO designated Biosphere, with trees, streams, lochs and mountains right on the doorstep. If you want to explore by bike, you can enjoy the thrills of the 7Stanes mountain biking trails at Glentrool, or the slightly tougher ones at Kirroughtree a 25-minute drive away; there are trails for all ages and abilities. There are plenty of great road cycling routes around too, all on lovely quiet roads. If walking or running is your thing there are plenty of routes direct from the front door ranging from 2-8 miles. Our favourite more strenuous walks are the Loch Trool trail and The Merrick, the highest summit in Southern Scotland (both a short drive from the cottage). If the seaside is your choice of destination we have beautiful, quiet and unspoiled sandy beaches within easy reach. We love Monreith or Girvan, both around 45 minutes away.
