Stay at this cosy Scottish cottage for a relaxing break with friends or family and your beloved pets. It sleeps up to six humans and two dogs, and is located in a beautiful rural spot about 3.5 miles north of Lockerbie, where you’ll find dog-friendly pubs and independent shops to explore. In the surrounding area, there are miles of gorgeous walking trails you can sniff out with your pet, who’ll love doing the detective work on all the local rabbit trails. After a long day in the fresh air, relax by the wood burner where Fido will enjoy lounging out warming his fur.

The cottage has an open-plan lounge-diner for relaxing as a group, perhaps doing some reading or watching the Smart TV. Your dog will love lounging in front of the roaring wood burner on chilly evenings. A handy utility area off the lounge takes care of laundry, and leads to the downstairs shower room. The modern kitchen is separated from the living area with glass bi-folding doors. You can enjoy lovely views over the garden from the kitchen. Wooden floors throughout the dwelling make it easy to sweep up any dog hair and Fido can always be part of the action. The large, enclosed garden is excellent for your pet to let off some steam. Two of the bedrooms are on the ground floor, while the third is located up the spiral staircase.

During your stay, you can spend the morning wandering around Lockerbie before taking your furry friend for a walk in the nearby Eskrigg Reserve (5 miles). Another great option is to bundle the dog in the car and head to the Solway Firth, 15 miles away, where you’ll find 200 miles of wildlife and unspoilt sandy beaches that will please two-legged and four-legged guests alike.

Lovely cottage in a remote location that was perfect for a family break. Cottage had everything we could ask for to enjoy the break and the rural location was great for the getting out long walks with the dogs with very little traffic. Will definitely go back.

One of the best holiday properties we have stayed in for a long time. A great location to explore the beautiful countryside of this part of southern Scotland. Good layout to the property with good facilities and a friendly and warm welcome. Cottage is well located and easy to find but remains fairly secluded. Excellent views from the cottage and gaRead morerden (we were lucky with excellent weather for the whole week). Overall a great place to stay. Hide

Lovely cottage a little out the way of anything but if that's what you want it's great could do with being able to manually override the heating to dry clothes there is a heated towel rail but struggled to dry everything on it but lovely cottage.

We had a wonderful week long stay at Kites cottage. The cottage had plenty of room for our family consisting of four adults, two children and our standard poodle Otis. The homemade bread, jam and butter was a lovely surprise on arrival and the cottage was well equipped for our stay. The location of Kite's cottage was peaceful and truly beautiful. WRead moree would not hesitate to stay here again and to recommend it to friends and family wanting to holiday in the area. Hide

Cottage itself is very nice but a bit in the middle of nowhere. The 3/4 mile single track up to it is treacherous , huge potholes and fingers crossed you dont meet something coming the other way.
