Hoddom Mill Cottage

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.
