Holiday Accommodation Newton Stewart

Newton Stewart self-catering holiday accommodation is set in and around a charming market town in Dumfries and Galloway, on the banks of the River Cree, nestled in a hilly landscape. Newton Stewart holiday home cottages are ideal if you’re planning a holiday packed with outdoor recreation – they would serve as a cosy base for an adventure in the nearby Galloway Forest Park, which offers trails for both walkers and mountain bikers. There are nature trails starting in the town around Newton Stewart holiday home apartments, taking in old industrial remnants like 19th Century water mills and the picturesque banks of the River Cree.

If you hold an interest in prehistory then there are two important sites within minutes of Newton Stewart self-catering holiday accommodation – Cairn Holy is perhaps the most impressive, featuring a stone circle marking a burial chamber. There are some lovely towns reached with relative ease from a Newton Stewart holiday home - Wigtown is only 15 minutes in the car, and sits on the coast. There’s another stone circle here, together with sublime natural scenery. The Badnocj Distillery is also situated in Wigtown and offers tours illustrating the historic whisky-making process. Alternatively there’s Gatehouse of Fleet, about 20 minutes from Newton Stewart, another great spot for outdoor activities – here you can enjoy a round of golf, fishing and sailing from the town’s scenic harbour.
