On the edge of the Galloway Forest lies a traditional Mongolian yurt, a peaceful timber cabin and a cosy cottage. In a beautiful riverside location, set in 10 acres of tranquil garden, woodland and pasture, Dark Sky Retreat offers 3 accommodation options, each well equipped, with super comfy beds, lovely views and a very warm welcome.

We offer short breaks (from 3 nights) or longer stays in our two cosy, peaceful self-catering cottages, Culsharg Cottage and Kelpies Cottage. Both cottages sleep up to five people. The cottages are directly opposite each other, so potentially also suitable for larger families by booking both cottages.

Located in the heart of Gallloway Forest Park with walking and cycling from the door, ideal for touring this beautiful area.

On warmer evenings sit outside, relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery and as night falls enjoy the splendour of the Dark Skies Park. If it’s wet and windy retreat inside where you will be warm and toasty beside the wood burning stove!
