Carole and Graham are delighted to welcome you to Ferngrove Cottage, we have two cottages available at Ferngrove, Loch View and Kirk View. Both are set in pretty gardens and have stunning views over Loch Ken and the surrounding countryside. We live in an adjoining cottage. We love entertaining, and have both spent many years in the hospitality industry, running pubs and small hotels. Our interests are walking, gardening, motorcycling and travel. I am originally from Oxford and Graham is from Leeds, we have previously lived ‘off grid’ in rural France, and more recently lived near Bakewell, in the Derbyshire Dales. We moved to Ferngrove Cottage in Dumfries and Galloway in 2018 and began the ‘creation’ of Ferngrove Holiday Lets. Just outside the 'Food Town ' of Castle Douglas, the area has many activities to offer, fishing , cycling, walking, bird watching, and water sports . It has many places of interest to visit, including nearby Threave House and gardens. We are in the Galloway Forest Park and about 10 miles from the Solway Coast, an area of outstanding beauty.
