This dog-friendly cottage is ideal for small families and friends wishing to explore Scotland’s south-west coast, with space for two, four-legged friends. From the doorstep, follow coastal and countryside trails or enjoy family beach days. Throughout your stay, you’ll be close to the village amenities of Kippford (4 miles), quiet woodlands and nature reserves. In the evenings, fire up the BBQ for al fresco dining in the enclosed cottage garden.
Step inside the cosy sitting room and unwind on the rattan furniture in front of the TV. A feature stone fireplace with an oak lintel, a soft rug and red tartan cushions create a warm ambience. In the cottage-style kitchen, prepare homecooked meals that you can share with family or friends in the dining area. Walk through to the two bedrooms, both dressed in blue striped bedlinens, with natural light streaming in from the windows, and served by a family bathroom. Head outside to the enclosed patio area, where you can enjoy BBQs and sundowners at the bistro furniture. There is private parking for one car and an EV charging point.
From the front door, explore the hiking trails of Southern Scotland and enjoy family time at the beach. Walk from Rockcliffe to Castle Point (1 mile) - known for its spectacular sunsets - or hire a boat from Kippford (4 miles). There’s also a selection of shops, cafes and water sports in this pretty village. Travel further afield to discover wooded wildlife walks and explore the wetlands and saltmarshes of RSPB Mersehead (6.5 miles) that are rich in birdlife. Perhaps you’d prefer to practice your swing at Southerness Golf Club (9 miles) or cycle along the 7stanes mountain bike trails at Dalbeattie Woods (5.7 miles) and Mabie Forest (18 miles).
