Location
We are situated just two miles from the village of Creetown and six miles from the town of Newton Stewart, where you will find supermarkets, a cinema and plenty of cafés, shops and takeaways. We are situated with easy access to the main A75 route which runs from Gretna to Stranraer, and just 90 mins drive from Carlisle. Cairnryan Port takes you by ferry to Ireland in two hours.
We sit not far from the UK’s first Dark Sky Park and near to the Southwest 300 route.
Wigtown, Scotland’s book town, is located on the other side of the bay and has walks, picnic areas, bird hide and wheelchair access at Wigtown harbour. The Cree Estuary is a fantastic area for walks and wildlife spotting.
