Nestled in the idyllic countryside of Dumfries and Galloway, this charming cottage is the perfect destination for a family or couple’s getaway in the heart of the Scottish countryside. With one or two four-legged friends welcome to join you on your stay, no member of the family will be left behind. Explore fantastic walking trails, discover pretty market towns and watch the river Nith rushing by from the comfort of your garden.
This beautiful stone cottage has been designed with accessibility in mind, with a ramp up to the front door. The light-filled open-plan living area has skylights overhead and wooden flooring underfoot, creating a welcoming atmosphere to relax on the plush sofas next to the coal-effect fireplace. Share a meal at the stylish dining table or head outside and dine al-fresco whilst watching salmon leap from the river that borders the communal garden. Take a soak in the freestanding bathtub before heading to bed in one of two attractive bedrooms, where the sound s of the river will soothe you to sleep.
For a cultural day out with a difference, visit Crawick Multiverse (1.5 miles), a fantastic land art installation designed by Charles Jencks, where dogs on leads are welcome to join you roaming the crafted landscape. Furry friends are also welcome at Drumlanrig Castle & Gardens (10.5 miles), which offers acres of stunning Victorian gardens packed full of interesting sights, sounds and smells that are sure to get tails wagging. Alternatively, take a ride back in time onboard a restored diesel locomotive at The Leadhills and Wanlockhead Railway, where pawed pals can join you along a 3/4 mile journey through the Lowther Hills, taking in the historic mining landscape along the way.
