Situated between Dumfries and Gretna Green, this large home is in a great location to explore many of Scotland’s prettiest parts. Its rural location means that you can kick back and relax here easily with the rest of your party. However, nearby towns and cities are just a simple drive away.

This charming home provides plenty of space for a group keen to socialise, though its bedrooms are cosy and comfortable for chilling out too. There are soft neutral tones throughout, with elegant finishing touches really making the property a home away from home.

As you enter the cottage, you will find a useful porch and a handy utility/boot room with a washer/dryer and along the corridor, you will find a shower room and WC. Next door to the shower room there is a king-size bedroom. Back through the lobby, head into the contemporary kitchen with a traditional dining table which sits next to the stone fireplace with a dual-facing wood burner. The kitchen wraps around through to the lounge with access out onto the patio. The lounge is furnished with beautiful curtains and antique furniture, with lots of original features.

The stairs to the first floor lead off from the kitchen. On this floor, you will find the bathroom and a pretty twin room with zip-and-link beds next door. Across the hallway is a super-king-size zip-and-link; both bedrooms can be made up as twin beds or super-king-size and have views over the garden.

Outside, the large garden is south-west facing and backs onto woodland, so it's the perfect spot for identifying local wildlife. There is parking available for three cars and those with an electric vehicle can hire a charging port for an additional cost.

Nestled in an idyllic rural position, this charming sandstone cottage backs onto woodland so just outside the back door is a haven for nature lovers. Plus, the immediate area offers fantastic walking routes with forest and countryside trails which offer sublime views and dramatic landscapes.

A little further afield, yet still under 3 miles away, is the River Annan which is renowned for salmon fishing. Plus Hoddom Castle golf course, a friendly pub and a restaurant, are also all within 3 miles. For a little urban hit, you may want to try the bustling market towns of Annan and Lockerbie both within 6 miles, or Dumfries which is 14 miles away. All of these towns have an excellent range of shopping and leisure facilities.

For those that love to see the sea whilst on holiday, the property is close to the stunning Solway Firth just 8 miles distant. It boasts 200 miles of spectacular rugged coastline, while mountain bikers will be happy as they can head off to the nearby 7stanes.

The following attractions can also be fantastic days out for a family: Dino Park (5 miles), Mabie Farm Park (18 miles), Caerlaverock Castle (14 miles), the Robert Burns Centre (15 miles), the Aviation Museum (15 miles), and Sweetheart Abbey (21 miles).

Excellent hideaway cottage, offered nice views of the surrounding landscape and good privacy. While it was mentioned that only towels would be provided, we found that they had generously supplied toiletries, coffee/tea bags, snacks, milk and few stationaries available.

Nice and cosy cottage with a lovely wood burner for the colder evenings. Plenty of room for five adults and a dog. Good sized private garden which I imagine would be lovely in the warmer months. Good base to travel to lots of different places all within 20 minutes drive including Porridge Museum and Annandale Distillery which were both worth a visiRead moret on a rainy day. Hide

Our dog loved the walks from the house down by the river and we drove to some amazing places too. Lots of really nice touches like being left some essentials in the kitchen and toiletries.

This is a really nice and spacious cottage. The quietness is also nice, we slept very well and enjoyed our stay. The dogs had a seperate sleeping room. The living room was very cosy. We tasted a few apples from the garden.
