One of the oldest properties in the area, Ferryboat Cottage is truly unique. As its name suggests, the original ferrymaster's cottage stands in one acre of sheltered, lawned gardens, all south-facing and providing private access to the loch.

Ferryboat Cottage is a beautiful, traditional Galloway cottage, with two wood-burning stoves. The cottage also has electric storage heaters, making it very cosy, whatever the time of year. As well as easy access to the Solway coast, Loch Ken is South West Scotland's centre for outdoor activities, with horse riding, golfing, sailing, and water-skiing nearby.

Loch Ken is renowned for its fishing - this together with swimming can be enjoyed from the floating jetties at the bottom of the garden. A swinging mooring and private launching are also available.

The gardens contain areas of European SSI and are a haven for wildlife, including the adjacent RSPB Nature Reserve with the Red Kite Trail. Visit our website at www.virtual-hotel.com/ferryboat for more information including a virtual tour of Ferryboat Cottage.
