Kenmure Kennels ensures privacy and peace for a perfect rural escape with views down Loch Ken to the hills beyond. The spacious accommodation is over two floors and includes both a snug and more formal sitting room together with a separate suite of double bedroom; single room and bathroom making the house a superb holiday base for both family and large group holidays.
There is direct access via a short walk from the house to the shores of Little Kenmure Loch which leads into Loch Ken, a popular water sports location and perfect for wild swimming, canoeing, paddle boarding and sailing. The ruins of Kenmure Castle are close to the house and walks from the door lead to the Galloway Forest and back to the Royal Burgh of New Galloway. Please note that dogs should be kept on leads due to farm stock and wildlife.
The house is on the edge of the Galloway Forest Park making it a superb location for star gazing as it is one of only four Dark Sky Parks in the UK.

Castle Douglas which is the areas main Market Town is a 20 minute drive with a good range of independent shops, delis, cafes, pubs and restaurants.
Outdoor activities are numerous and with the Galloway Forest Park on the doorstep which is ideal for biking with easy access to all the 7Stanes trails and walking, so you are spoilt for choice. If you prefer coastal walks the Solway Firth's empty beaches and captivating cliffs are close to hand. A full range of water sports are available at Loch Ken including sailing, canoeing, fishing and the Galloway Activity Centre offers hire and teaching facilities for both land and water based activities.
Galloway is often described as the forgotten gem of Scotland with its wide open spaces, numerous lochs, open moorland, forests, beaches as well as great facilities for walking, horse riding and cycling and other outdoor pursuits such as golf, fishing and shooting not to mention the chance to see the 10,000s of wintering geese or the wonderful Red Kites at any time of year and not to mention the chance to see a golden eagle if you are very lucky.
