Property code: OC-B42752

Whisk your special someone off for a break at this cute glamping pod sitting in the countryside just 0.5 miles outside Haugh of Urr. Sleeping two people in one bedroom area, it’s perfect for romantic couples in search of a quirky cottage to call home while they seek a little serenity in Dumfries and Galloway. Head into the 18th-century market town of Castle Douglas (5 miles) to browse the art galleries, stroll around Threave Gardens (where the National Trust’s gardeners are trained), and sample an ale or two at Sulwath Brewery. Further afield, head to Galloway Activity Centre (14 miles) to try your hand at archery or laser tag. Or if you like stargazing, the surrounding Galloway Forest Park is one of the best places in the UK to enjoy the night sky. On a clear night, over 7,000 stars and planets are visible with the naked eye.

Step inside your quaint single-level glamping pod via the large floor-to-ceiling patio doors and you’ll discover a completely open-plan living space with living, dining, kitchen and bedroom areas. This surprisingly large space is light, bright and stylish – the perfect private glamping hideaway for two. Cook up a storm in the compact kitchen area and enjoy a romantic meal for two at the intimate dining table. Relax in the living area, complete with a smart TV, and then spend a peaceful night in the king-size bed. A pretty separate shower room completes the clever layout.

Step outside and you’ll discover a wonderful enclosed garden area with farmland views. Share a peaceful al fresco dinner at the bistro table, and then pour yourself a glass of wine and spend a lovely evening stargazing under Scottish skies in your private hot tub. Private parking is available for one car.

This Blackbird can sing! What a delightful little nest. As someone who often travels solo it's hard to find somewhere that's not too big. This is perfect for one person. Yes, couples that like each other a lot could definitely cosy up here too, but the best things come in small packages. Matthew was lovely: prompt in responding, greeted on arrivalRead more, welcome snacks and card. Really was the perfect host. Lola the cat did delay me on leaving as I just had to give her lots of cuddles before I left! Property was easy to find using GPS. Located up a quiet rural lane next to the kirkyard, it was serene and peaceful. And although compact it had everything one needs for some time out. I enjoyed watching deer frolic in the fields and listening to the owl at night. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for some RnR. Hide
