Cottages by the beach in Dumfries and Galloway

Discover a world characterised by glistening sands, towering cliffs and secret caves from the comfort of one of our holiday cottages on the Dumfries and Galloway coast, a location famed for its majestic beauty. Our coastal cottages by the sea are ideal for families, couples and groups seeking sea air and breathtaking scenery, not to mention a taste of local culture and delicious homemade produce. Hugging the shoreline from Cockle Bay in Stranraer and stretching all the way to the golden sands of Annan Beach, 9.5 miles from the iconic Gretna Green, this stunning coastline boasts an array of seaside delights within a short distance of our Scottish cottages, such as pretty fishing towns, hidden bays and historic lighthouses. 

Our handpicked selection of beach cottages in Dumfries and Galloway range from spacious accommodation encircled by glorious countryside to cosy lodges overlooking the sea, complete with a hot tub for an extra splash of luxury. Adventures await on the sandy shores, whether you envisage a traditional bucket-and-spade holiday with all the trimmings, or would prefer exhilarating cliff-top walks armed with a thermos of hot chocolate. Once the tide is out, you’ll be able to glimpse the mysterious remains of the Monreith shipwreck on Dhoon Beach, or stick to the paths and take in the sights of Barsalloch Fort just north of Monreith Beach and the remains of Doon Castle from Ardwell Bay.
