Property code: OC-81129

This lovingly restored holiday home in scenic Dumfries and Galloway is perfect for keen bikers, golfers and sailing enthusiasts, as well as those who just want to switch off and get away from reality. With views towards White Loch, discover a wonderful array of forest, coastal and lochside walks from the doorstep, before returning walk weary to relax amongst country-cottage styling with the added bonus of underfloor heating.

 

Keeping the character of the original, stone cottage, find a blend of elegant styling, traditional touches and luxury modern features ensuring a wonderfully comfortable stay. Soft neutral tones, wooden details and flagged floors reflect the surrounding natural environment, whilst cream walls and skylights in the kitchen give a sense of space and light.

 

Enter the cottage into the large, bright open-plan lounge/kitchen, a fabulous social space with a wood burner and comfortable seating to relax and catch up. Gather everyone together for a delicious, home-cooked meal at the dining table, before retiring to the more formal lounge where you can enjoy views towards White Loch. Settle on the sofa with a glass of wine in hand, warming your toes in front of the wood burner-effect electric fire and watch a movie. The contemporary styling continues in the bedrooms – wake rejuvenated and enjoy your morning cup of tea in the garden, drinking in the sights and sounds of the countryside.

 

Outside, the enclosed tiered garden has a lawn and patio area, a peaceful place to sit out, read a book and relax. In the evenings, sizzle up a BBQ and watch the children potter on the lawn as the sun sets on a great day. The village shop and seasonal tearoom is within walking distance so you can choose to eat in or out. There is lockable bike and golf club storage, and private parking on the gated drive for two cars.

Enjoyable stay at Loch View. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Welcome packs were well received- especially the one for the dog. Situated in a great location with the sea and a wood on the doorstep. There was also the added bonus of a good local store two minutes walk away. Hope to revisit in the future.

An exceptionally clean and well equipped cottage-perfect for our family of 4 ( 11 and 12 year olds). The location is peaceful and being just a few mins drive to 2 beautiful beaches was just perfect for us. We have had a very laid back and relaxing time-managed to get a Tesco delivery and the Londis is over the road for provisions if needed. Loved bRead moreeing able to have a short walk into the forest from the cottage and try to spot red squirrels. Very dark skies perfect for stargazing too! Thank you! Hide
