A half-mile walk from the heart of Scotland's Artists' Town, this impressive property is perfect for a multi-generational getaway. Full of creature comforts, it features family-friendly bedrooms – three of them on the ground floor – and a choice of social spaces, while a paw-warming wood burner and terraced garden add all-weather appeal.
Welcoming a pair of four-pawed pals, this handsome holiday home has an open-plan lounge and dining room where all can enjoy companionable down-time. Stretch out in your choice of soft seating to watch the Smart TV; a wood burner adds after-dark ambience. The dining room creates a formal setting for home-cooked meals served fresh from the adjacent kitchen, where a breakfast table has garden views. A utility room with laundry equipment completes the quota of home-from-home convenience, while a family bathroom serves the three ground-floor bedrooms – choose between a double room and two twins. Steep stairs lead up to the first floor, where a king-size bedroom has its own en-suite shower room and is adjacent to a large lounge area with a Smart TV and a double sofa bed. For sunshine and a sniff of fresh air, step into the property’s terraced garden which has furniture for outdoor and is surrounded by pretty planting.
Ample private parking allows the whole pack to unload and explore at leisurely pace – the property sits on the edge of Kirkcudbright, a town beside the River Dee. Let the pups take the lead as you stroll at the water’s edge, or venture 4 miles along the opposite bank and they can enjoy doggie paddles at Dhoon Beach. Ten miles north, Castle Douglas is designated Scotland’s official Food Town, while 8.5 miles north-west Gatehouse of Fleet is a well-preserved town famous for its cotton mill, iconic clock tower and fine choice of shops, inns and eateries. Beyond, another of the region’s must-see sites is the stunning Big Water of Fleet Viaduct, just 16.5 miles from your holiday home.
