Gather your loved ones for an adventure-filled getaway on the Solway Coast, staying in this traditional stone-built cottage just 1 mile from the sand dunes and nature haven of RSPB Mersehead’s beach. Set off hiking to discover the beauty of the surrounding area, including Mares Braids Waterfall (2 miles), Sandyhills Beach (3.5 miles) and the wonderful Bainloch Deer Park (3.5 miles). Try your hand at Scotland’s favourite pastime at Colvend Golf Club (4 miles), or make your way to the town of Dalbeattie to discover 7stanes (9 miles), a popular mountain biking trail network set within the town’s stunning forest. Castle Douglas, 14.5 miles away, is a popular destination for self-confessed foodies, complete with a wide selection of butchers, bakers and delis offering fresh produce, along with pubs and restaurants serving hearty local fare. National Cycle Route 7 runs through the town, another highlight for keen cyclists.

A true home-from-home, this two-storey cottage has been lovingly decorated to feature creature comforts and traditional furnishings. Make your way inside to find everything laid out on a single storey, including the lounge/diner with its warming multi-fuel stove ready to keep the whole room cosy and warm. This restful space features a TV/DVD for late-night relaxation – bring a family favourite film along or keep the telly off and simply enjoy some good conversation instead. Next to it, the kitchen provides everything you need to keep guests fed and watered. Along the hallway, two bedrooms sit alongside a bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC. The bedrooms consist of a double and a twin, both equally inviting for uninterrupted nights of rest.

Make the most of sunny afternoons out in the garden, letting children and pets run free in this large, enclosed space. The garden features outdoor furniture, a spacious lawn area, and children’s play facilities, including swings, an outdoor kitchen and tunnels. Private parking completes the exterior space.
