Product Description

The Coorie is a warm and welcoming mobility friendly retreat set in the tranquil village of Glentrool, right at the heart of Galloway Forest Park, Britain’s first Dark Sky Park. Surrounded by peaceful woodlands, expansive trails, and breathtaking natural scenery, this modern ground floor property has been designed with accessibility in mind and is operated by the local community trust, creating a homely and inclusive atmosphere from the moment you arrive. With ramped access to the entrance and level flooring throughout, guests with mobility needs can move freely and comfortably between every room, making it an ideal choice for families, friends, or carers seeking an accessible escape without compromise. The bright open plan living area offers a relaxed and inviting space, complete with a two seat sofa bed, an armchair, and a clear step free route into the kitchen. The kitchen has been thoughtfully arranged with low height amenities, including a low height oven, allowing guests to prepare meals from a seated position with ease. Although some cupboards may be positioned higher, the generous floor space ensures smooth movement and independence. Patio doors lead directly onto a wooden deck overlooking the village green, creating a peaceful spot to sit back with a morning coffee or enjoy the evening light after a day of exploring the surrounding wilderness. The accessible wet room has been designed for safety and comfort, featuring a step free shower, handheld shower attachment, wall mounted shower seat, and a lever style wash basin tap. The toilet includes transfer space and strategically placed handrails, offering reassurance for guests who benefit from additional support. The bedrooms continue this thoughtful layout. The master bedroom provides a restful king size bed with space to manoeuvre around it, while the second bedroom includes a single bed with equally good circulation space, ensuring a smooth and stress free stay. Outdoors, guests will find a level decked area and a gently sloped lawn that is easy to navigate. Two designated parking spaces, including an electric hook up for campervans, add extra convenience for those travelling by vehicle. The location is a dream for nature lovers, with forest trails, wildlife rich landscapes, and the tranquil shores of Loch Trool all close by, offering exceptional opportunities for walking, cycling, and fishing. After dark, the remote setting transforms into one of the best stargazing spots in the UK, with dazzling night skies stretching over the forest. Despite its peaceful setting, The Coorie is only a short drive from Newton Stewart, where guests can enjoy shops, pubs, eateries, a cinema, an 18 hole golf course, and a leisure centre with swimming pool, spa, and sauna. Perfectly placed for exploring the beauty of south west Scotland, The Coorie offers a comfortable, inclusive, and beautifully designed base for a memorable countryside escape.
