For a laid-back Scottish escape with your trusty hound, this bright two-bedroom bungalow near Gretna Green makes a brilliant base. You’ll be 150 metres from the legendary Gretna Green Blacksmiths Shop – a romantic landmark for runaway weddings and love stories through the ages.
Inside, the accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across one level, making it especially practical when travelling with children or a canine friend. A long hallway runs through to the enclosed rear garden – handy after muddy walkies. Contemporary touches such as herringbone flooring add a polished feel. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the heart of the home, with a generous corner sofa where you can unwind while your pup stretches out nearby. A Smart TV provides evening entertainment. The kitchen pairs sleek grey cabinetry and metallic accents with a traditional apron sink for a modern country look, while a breakfast bar is just the spot for morning coffee before heading out on your next adventure. The family shower room sits near the entrance, followed by a comfortable twin bedroom, with the king-size room positioned at the far end of the bungalow. When the sun shines, step outside to the enclosed lawned garden – a safe haven for children and pets alike. It’s a lovely setting for al fresco meals, fresh Scottish air, and a final bedtime potter before turning in. Private parking for one car is provided.
