Waterside boasts 4 self catering
cottages in total. Located within 10 minutes of the famous Galloway Forest Park. It is a
secluded rural haven set in 18 acres of grounds with the river Bladnoch running
along the perimeter providing fantastic fishing opportunities. Nature and
wildlife are truly on your doorstep. But despite being “in the middle of
nowhere” Newton Stewart and all its amenities are located just 9 miles away.
Below is a non exhaustive list of who will enjoy Waterside and
the surrounding areas:
Hunters - Although we don't permit hunting on the grounds a
number of syndicates operate in the area within a short distance and often base
themselves from Waterside.
Anglers - The river Bladnoch which runs along the perimeter of
the property provides excellent fishing for both migratory and non-migratory
species. This is available onsite free of charge with the owners prior consent.
Astronomy/Astrophotography -The nearby Galloway Forest has since
2009 been designated a gold tier dark sky park due to its breath taking and
rare stargazing conditions. Those conditions are almost replicated at
Waterside with bortle 2 skies, this provides incredible dark skies for astronomy
and astrophotography enthusiasts.
Walkers/Mountain Bikers – Dumfries and Galloway is famed for its
mountain bike routes including the most spectacular rides of the 7 Stanes,
Glentrool is either 20 minutes by car or a little warm up bike ride, through
the forest and heath lands past Ochiltree loch. The Kirroughtree trails are
also within reach via a 30 minute drive. The Southern Upland Way route goes
right past Waterside. A suitable stop off for both ambitious walkers transiting
the route in its entirety and shorter more exploratory walkers looking to visit
Laggangarn and the Wells of Rees or in the opposite direction to Bargrennan.
Golfers – Dumfries and Galloway boasts over 30 golf courses and
the tourist board offers a “Gateway to golf pass” for 3, or 6 rounds on any of
the 26 participating courses. The nearest being a 10 minute drive away in
Newton Stewart, a 18 hole 5,806 yard course (par69) which has spectacular views
from each hole. Waterside’s location offers the golf enthusiast a great rural
escape with great golf just a short journey in multiple directions.
Families/Couple's - If you just want to get away from the chaos
of everyday then Waterside is ideal. If you have planned adventures or just
want to relax and unwind onsite with nature on your doorstep.

Anne's Cottage, Waterside Newton Stewart. 

We loved staying at Waterside and highly recommend it for a serene, relaxing escape. Dave & Rebecca are immensely kind and responsive, returning emails immediately and providing lots of useful info. Anne's Cottage is wonderful, with reliable Wi-Fi and great facilities (such as a spacious kitchen, huge bath, and a comfy bed). Great area for walks, and our dachshund had a fantastic time sniffing around too. Night-time stars are gorgeous, and we enjoyed exploring the nearby Galloway Forest. For groceries & other items, Newton Stewart has everything that you'll need (including EV charging points). Many thanks for everything and we look forward to returning soon.

Fantastic cottage and a great escape

Stayed a couple of nights with my teenage daughter and dog. Spacious, clean, well equipped property with friendly hosts. Large bath in the en suite, no shower. Level access. Remote but easy enough to find. The outdoor space is not secure for dogs, but ours tends to stay close- although I needed to keep an eye on him whenever he was out due to the tempting countryside around! Great place for visiting our nearby relatives in Newton Stewart.

Spacious place

Lovely overnight stop after a week in a motorhome! Extra large bath and comfortable bed most welcome . Lovely friendly hosts

A fabulous cottage perfectly located for our needs catering for the dogs and our needs. Hosts were available, engaging and helpful. Dogs loved the space to walk freely. Accommodation was clean, comfortable, relaxing and peaceful. 5 stars.

Perfect weekend

Staying in all 4 lodges, we had the whole place to ourselves. The lodges were perfectly clean and tidy for our arrival, the interiors are gorgeous and spacious. There are glorious grounds which you can use as your "back garden" during your stay, and amazing hot tubs on site too. Nothing was too much for Rebecca & Dave, they went above and beyond for us and they responded almost instantaneously to any query/issue we had - ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our stay. They were also very accommodating to the 10 excited women who were loud playing hen party games after a few wines! We did have a few house guests (to be expected in the countryside) which Rebecca kindly assisted us with. Thank you so much Rebecca & Dave!
