"Lovely house, more than adequate in size for 6 people."
-
"Clean comfortable house close to local facilities."
Plenty of places to walk nearby. Lots of places to visit (Gardens, countryside, coast) within an easy drive.
-
"We stayed in the Byre, one of I think six accommodations on the premises."
I won't mark on the basis that it doesn't accommodate for disabilities, as we didn't mention it when booking for three persons. The accommodation was excellent, lot's of space throughout, clean and tidy. Everything needed for a self-catering holiday is at hand and Carol will find you anything you need. This was a great weeks holiday, a walk from Newton Stewart, surrounded by beautiful countryside. Lots of nearby tourist landmarks if that's what you want, or piece and quiet in and outside the accommodation area. Perfect place to unwind. Thanks to Carol and her family.

"Great Cottage Really nice views from the Cottage every thing is as quoted in the booking"
-
"An excellent rental - the location is great, lovely countryside around and just a mile into Newton Stewart along the cycle path."
The house is really lovely, very modern and clean, lovely and warm and well-heated. The kitchen excellent too and very well equipped for home cooking, it has about all you could need. TV is good and there is reasonable wi-fi - fast enough for the basics. Highly recommended!

"We had a lovely comfortable stay at the byre, the only comment I would make is that in the double room the dressing table needs a taller stool and a mirror on it, when I sat on the stool to do my hair and makeup I couldn't see into the mirror, the table needed a lamp as the light wasn't great."
-
"Very spacious accommodation."
Excellent location. We were all very impressed.
-
"Stunning property in beautiful countryside."
We will definitely be coming back in the future.
-
"This was a break for my sons and their friends and they enjoyed their time at the Byre."
It was a good base to explore the local area
-
"Spacious cottage with fabulous views, yet in walking distance of the town (Newton Stewart)."
Very peaceful. Usual shortage of pottery to allow economic use of the dishwasher. Lack of cushions, place mats, napkins was probably due to covid 19 restrictions. Plan to return next year.
-
"Great accommodation in excellent location With lovely country views"
-
"Lovely quiet location about 25-30 min walk from centre of Newton Stuart along cycleway/footpath."
-
"The Byre is a great family cottage with 3 good size bedrooms and a lovely spacious kitchen with modern fitted units and all the appliances you need."
Loads of space for all the holiday gear and a secure lockable bike store. Great location for cycling and golf and walks in nearby Glen Trool. Would definitely visit again
-
"A fantastic base for The Wigtown Book Festival."
We will definitely return next year!
-
"On arrival we were met by Carol who showed us around and told us what we needed to know about the property."
There were some minor issues but not enough to spoil our break which we enjoyed very much. We let Carol, the owner/manager, know what we thought needed attention and these were corrected before the arrival of the next guests.
-
"Spacious but cosy cottage with friendly owner, great views over the Cree estuary, and a lovely walking area behind the cottage."
-
"Fabulous host, beautiful cottage and very clean."
Would recommend.
-
"The Byre is a fantastic holiday cottage with a nice layout and all you need to have a great break away from home."
It is located very close to Newton Stewart, and there is a lovely bicycle path that allows you to walk or cycle right into the heart of the town without having to worry about traffic, which is great for small kids. The Byre also has fantastic views over the Cree estuary and Cairsnmore of Fleet, and with Galloway also being a Dark Sky park its great for photography too.

"Nether Barr Steading was a lovely country location for our holiday."
The cottages are really spacious and well equipped. The view over the river meander is a beautiful outlook. Carol was a fantastic host and our kids enjoyed playing with hers.

About the location
NEWTON STEWART
Port William 17.2 miles; Kirkcudbright 28 miles; Castle Douglas 30.4 miles;
The market town of Newton Stewart, famous for its salmon and trout fishing, lies in a superb location between the serene rolling countryside of the Machars to the south and the Galloway Forest Park to the north. The area is steeped in history. The first Christian missionary to Scotland landed at The Machars, founding the first church in AD 397 in Whithorn. The Whithorn Dig Visitor Centre lies on the site and displays material dug up over years of excavations. The beautiful coastline is a mixture of sandy beaches and rocky shores teeming with birdlife, whilst inland there is superb walking country to be discovered in the Galloway Hills and Forest Park. Sailing, riding and fishing are all available locally and there are plenty of excellent courses to keep the keen golfer busy.
