About Cowar Bothy

If you like like walking, cycling or just relaxing this is the perfect location for a first class getaway in wonderful Dumfries and Galloway. Look out over the open farmland from both the lounge and bedroom.

Whilst you have the beauty of the stunning countryside at Cowar Bothy you are only 5 miles from the charming little town of Dalbeattie with its array of small shops and easy access to Dalbeattie Woods and the coast. Castle Douglas, Scotland’s food town, with an abundance of independent shops is only 7 miles away.

This area of south-west Scotland is hugely popular with walkers and cyclists of all ages. The world famous 7Stanes mountain trails at Dalbeattie Forest offer some of the best mountain biking in the country and attracts riders from across the UK and beyond. For the walking enthusiasts there are many paths and trails throughout the forest as well as some magnificent walks along secluded beaches or dramatic cliff top.

There are many beautiful gardens to visit, including Threave Gardens National Trust and interesting historical sites and castles to explore. Enjoy a drive from Dalbeattie along the Solway Coast with its extensive sandy beaches, rocky coves, traditional fishing villages and harbour ports, such as Kippford and Rockcliffe. Beach 9 miles. Pub and restaurant 2¼ miles.
