We are thrilled to have you here and are committed to making your stay as enjoyable and relaxing as possible. About Your Stay: Life on the estate is very peaceful but we do have quite a variety of wildlife visiting. Swallows, pheasants, partridge, rabbits, ducks, red squirrels, kite’s woodpeckers, owls, deer and the otters are regular visitors by the riverbank. Our estate offers a perfect blend of comfort, luxury, and tranquility amidst stunning natural surroundings. Whether you’re here to explore the picturesque landscapes, indulge in our exceptional amenities, or simply unwind in the peaceful atmosphere, we have something for everyone. Our Commitment to You: Our lodges and apartments cater for almost every need but if there is anything else that we can help you with that will make your holiday more memorable, then please feel free to ask. We love to share our recommendations with our guests. The team work extremely hard to keep everything the way we know our guests like it, but if something is not to your satisfaction, feel free to bring it to our attention so we can sort it for you. We are on the phone 24/7 for anything you may need - it’s far easier to phone than to hunt us down on the estate! Feel free to explore our grounds, take advantage of our facilities, and indulge in the various activities we offer – from hiking and biking to enjoying our wood-fired hot tub or cooking school experiences. Once again, welcome to the estate! We hope you create beautiful memories during your stay.

This elegant ground-floor apartment offers luxury accommodation, accessed via the peaceful rear courtyard. Step through the entrance into a bright and spacious open-plan living area, where the well-equipped kitchen, dining space, and two generous sofas create the perfect setting for relaxing after a day spent exploring the Galloway Forest Park or nearby sights. The indulgent main bathroom provides a welcome retreat, ideal for soaking away the day’s adventures. With beautifully finished bedrooms and everything you need for a comfortable stay, this apartment is a true escape from the pace of everyday life. Though privately situated, the property offers convenient access to all that the region has to offer, including the charming market town of Newton Stewart with its array of independent shops, cosy tearooms, and welcoming restaurants. The surrounding area is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Take a gentle stroll through the estate to glimpse red squirrels or watch for otters along the River Cree, or set out on a more challenging hike or cycle in the nearby hills. The Galloway Forest Park, famed for its Dark Sky status, is just moments away and offers exceptional stargazing and several 7Stanes mountain biking trails. For golf lovers, the region boasts several excellent courses, including the scenic 18-hole course at Minnigaff and the historic Cally Palace course in Gatehouse of Fleet. History buffs will also find plenty to explore — from the Robert Bruce Stone at Glentrool to the medieval Threave Castle on the River Dee. For those who enjoy angling, fishing opportunities are available locally and can be arranged on request.

Nestled in the heart of the Galloway countryside, Penninghame Estate offers a peaceful and scenic retreat on the edge of the Galloway Forest Park. Set within 130 acres of private woodland, riverside paths, and open parkland, the estate is a haven for wildlife — from red squirrels and deer to otters and a wide variety of birdlife.

Despite the tranquil surroundings, the vibrant market town of Newton Stewart is just a five-minute drive away, offering independent shops, cafés, and restaurants, plus access to outdoor adventure centres, golf courses, and local attractions. The area is known for its stargazing (as part of the UK’s first Dark Sky Park), forest parks, and beautiful unspoilt beaches along the Solway coast. Whether you're seeking a quiet nature escape, family-friendly adventures, or a base for exploring Dumfries & Galloway, Penninghame is perfectly placed for an unforgettable stay.
