Led by a short, unmade track and located along the edge of the beautiful mixed woodlands of Cally Woods just outside Gatehouse-of-Fleet, is Bar Hill Lodge, a picturesque detached 19th-century cottage. To the back, there is an enclosed lawn and wildflower garden with apple trees (and summer house, perfect for barbecues). To the front there is a lawn with woodland beyond, small bridges over a stream leading to a wildlife pond with deck, ideal for yoga – or sundowners! The cottage has a double bedroom, a twin room, living room with open fire, well-equipped modern kitchen, bathroom with roll top bath, and conservatory with views of the woods and garden. Plenty of books, maps, toys and games. Dogs welcome. barhillcottage.com
