The Dumfries and Galloway region
Galloway is an ideal destination for an energetic or relaxing break with stunning countryside and Britain's largest forest park. The Galloway Forest Park boasts 300 square miles of natural beauty to be explored and with the park recently receiving the status of being one of only four 'Dark Sky Parks' in the western world. Also in Galloway are 5 of the famous '7 Stanes' mountain biking trails, fishing, hill walking, bird watching, water sports, golfing and plenty of family activities to be enjoyed.
The area has an array of natural heritage sites, gardens and places of historical interest with Castle Douglas having its own picturesque gardens and country house, with historic castle. Threave House and Gardens are located only 1/2 mile outside of the town and Threave Castle is located about 2 miles away - both are well worth a visit.

Castle Douglas boasts an array of independently run shops which have a wide selection of local arts and crafts, clothing and footware, hand-made jewellery and gifts galore. There are also plenty of cafes and restaurants to tempt the taste buds if you would like to eat out, many serving local produce. For the sweeter tooth there is a selection of locally made food, from ice cream to hand-made chocolates.
The town has several pubs and even its own brewery for those who like a tipple. All this gives the town its own unique charm, not found in many other high streets nowadays, with something for every visitor.

Stayed here with our 3yo daughter along with our friends and their 2yo daughter. As soon as we arrived we were greeted with home baking. The apartment is very modern with high spec fixtures and fittings. Plenty of space for us and the kids and with the park and swing park directly behind us was great. In short walking distance to castle Douglas main street. Cannot fault anything on our stay here. |

Guestbook for Lochside Apartment
Just to say "Thank You" for your hospitality last week, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Lochside and were most impressed by what you have achieved. You set out to create the "wow" factor and you were certainly successful in that.
We were also impressed with the high standard of cleanliness you have set yourselves and are maintaining, in our experience that is most unusual both in properties as new as yours and in those, like yours, that are owner maintained, congrats on that with the hope that it may long continue.
So again Thank You to you all, you have filled a big hole in the self catering market in Castle Douglas and we wish you every success. We hope to return one day.

Wow! A gem of an apartment. Warm welcome from Andrew. Nothing and I mean nothing has been overlooked to make a stay here anything but comfortable and relaxing. Choc cake and goodies very much appreciated. Not seen much of the area as the sun kept us on the balcony so we will have to return.
Doreen & Carole, Tarleton, April 2011
Lovely comfortable apartment. Great base for a walking holiday. Two hot showers and big fluffy towels to welcome you back plus breakfast on the balcony to set you up for the day.
Ian & Maggie Sumner, Beverley June 2011
What a great pad!! Friends staying in the other apartment next door meant we could pop in and out and the park outside meant we could keep an eye on the kids playing. Attention to detail is much appreciated.
