Settle down in your warm and comfortable cottage with a dual-sided wood burner in the wrap-around kitchen and lounge after a day of exploring the surrounding Scottish scenery or at the dog-welcoming Garden of Cosmic Speculation (24 miles). Relax in your private garden which backs onto woodland, and watch the local wildlife. Put your feet up in the living area and entertain your small group of friends or family with a film on the Smart TV.
Step inside through the porch and put your wellies in the utility room. Along the corridor, you’ll find a WC. Next to this is a king-size bedroom. The contemporary kitchen boasts warm tones with a dining table and chairs. There are two more bedrooms upstairs: a twin zip-and-link and a super-king-size zip-and-link, as well as a bathroom. Outside, there is a south-west-facing garden with a lawned area, patio and seating.
At the bottom of the garden, there is woodland for fantastic dog walks from your doorstep. Take your canine for a sniff around the nearby 16th-century Repentance Tower (2 miles), or head to the Eskrigg Reserve (6.5 miles) for some wildlife watching. The local pub (3 miles) is also dog friendly. After tucking into some traditional pub food, take a look around the Hoddom Castle remains (3 miles) which are next door. Solway Firth (8 miles) boasts 200 miles of rugged coastline to explore. Caerlaverock Castle (14 miles) and Sweetheart Abbey (21 miles) also make great days out.
