Lochinvar Holidays — 2 beautiful properties to let with own loch and private fishing.
Centrally located for the 7stanes mountain bike centres and on a national cycling byway, it is ideal for cyclists as well as walkers, fishing enthusiasts and families. The Galloway activity centre and Loch Ken water ski club are only a few miles away on the banks of Loch Ken. The holiday properties are situated on an unclassified road in a quiet and very peaceful rural situation just 3 miles from St John's Town of Dalry. The pretty village has a charming main street of mainly painted houses and a range of convenience stores, a post office, bank (restricted opening times) and a hotel.

We stock a large range of fishing tackle and are agents for Shimano, Shakespeare, Abu, Daiwa, Mitchell, Leeda and Fog. We also stock Greys Rods which have a lifetime warranty. Tobys, Storm lures and Rapala. Eric is at hand on request to give advice on tackle for the novice fisherman. For bait fishing we have well stocked freezers with Ammo bait consisting of mackerel, sandeels, lugworm, launce, squid and crab for the sea and sprats, herring, smelt, Joey mackerel bluies and lamprey for pike fishing. There are fresh worms for the rivers and course lochs and we stock maggots in our Dalbeattie shop from Easter till October. We have special prices for rod and reel sets with excellent discounts. Even if it only a packet of hooks or a few fishing flies you require it is well worth a look round our shops for future reference. All the local knowledge is available from our helpful staff and there are plenty of leaflets to pick up on all types of fishing in the area. Tickets are available from our Dalbeattie shop for the Dalbeattie Reservoir and the Dalbeattie stretch of the River Urr. In Dalbeattie we keep both Dalbeattie and Dalbeattie River Urr tickets for Salmon, Sea Trout, Grilse and Brown Trout, also the permits for Dalbeattie Reservoir and Lock Roan which are both well stocked trout lochs.
