Location
Kiln House is situated in the quiet hamlet of Old Bridge of Urr, less than 4 miles from Castle Douglas. It sits amongst a small collection of buildings that form the 18th century Old Mill complex, close to the Urr Water, surrounded by open countryside. The area is famed for its mild climate, unspoilt landscapes and the diversity of sporting and recreational opportunities available. It is well known for its rolling rural landscape, with agriculture and forestry making up a large proportion of the local economy. The Galloway Forest Park (which includes the UK’s first designated Dark Sky Park) and surrounding countryside offers shooting, stalking, trout and salmon fishing as well as hiking, cycling and mountain biking. In addition, the Solway Coast provides a wealth of opportunities including sandy beaches, marinas (with safe anchorages at Kippford and Kirkcudbright) and water sports. The area is also excellent for the keen golfer with a championship links course at Southerness and a variety of other reputable courses across the region.
The nearby village of Springholm (3 miles) has a village shop and a primary school, whilst the nearby market town of Castle Douglas is a designated Food Town and has a wide selection of independent shops as well as supermarkets, leisure facilities, restaurants, health, banking and professional services. There are further primary and secondary schools in Castle Douglas and Kirkcudbright, or private schooling is available near Carlisle at Lime House School and Austin Friars St Monica’s School. Dumfries (20 minutes by car) has all the amenities one would expect of a large town, including the new Royal Infirmary.
Despite its rural location transport links are extensive. The A74(M), the main route between England and Scotland, provides a motorway connection both north to Glasgow and south to Carlisle, and onwards to central and southern England. There are mainline railways stations in Dumfries and Lockerbie, and Prestwick Airport is easily accessible.
