Savour the peacefulness and tranquillity of this friendly holiday home in the artists’ town of Kirkcudbright, a fantastic destination for small families or couples hoping to enjoy a little extra space. This endearing terrace is just a stone’s throw from the town centre, putting galleries, museums, National Trust houses and family-friendly attractions at your beck and call. On the banks of the River Dee, the marina is also just a short stroll away (less than 500 metres), where you can enjoy a peaceful walk along the water’s edge, watching the boats bob as you follow the Dee Walk or St Mary’s Circular Path. For cyclists, Route 7 of the National Cycle Network runs through the town, and you can capture a small part of its staggering 540-mile route as a fantastic way to see the surrounding area on two wheels.

This delightful abode is steeped in the town’s rich artistic history, having formerly been owned by E. A. Hornel, one of the Glasgow Boys. The property’s heritage has been thoughtfully maintained throughout, giving the place a charming, old-time feel, yet updated to ensure all creature comforts are provided. On the ground floor, discover a bright dining room with plenty of space to sit and dine together. Opposite it, the kitchen is compact yet well-equipped for cooking. Take the winding staircase up to the first floor to find the lounge, an inviting space with mid-century furnishings, a TV/DVD player, and the option of a double sofa bed to accommodate two guests. The remaining bedrooms can be found upstairs via another flight of traditional cottage stairs. These rooms include a double bedroom that’s bright and spacious, complete with room to unpack, and a snug single that’s perfect for one. Completing this floor, a family bathroom serves all guests.

At the back of the property, a secret garden provides a place to pause and relax when the sun shines. Despite being shared with the owners, privacy is assured in this marvellous lawned space. Parking is available on the street outside, subject to availability.
