Set right by the shoreline, with uninterrupted views across the Urr Estuary, this homely coastal retreat sets you up perfectly for a memorable group getaway. It sleeps eight guests across four bedrooms, making it a great choice for families, with space for two dogs too. The property is less than 50 metres from a shell beach, which kids will love exploring, and the lively village of Kippford is just 1 mile away. Here, you’ll find two friendly pubs and a bustling sailing scene, complete with yacht moorings and regular regattas. Walkers can join Jubilee Path or the Rough Firth Road to explore scenic routes towards Rockcliffe (5 miles), while cyclists can try out the 7Stanes trails in Dalbeattie Forest (1 mile). A short drive opens up sandy beaches, fishing spots, golf courses including Southerness (12 miles), and the wild landscapes of Galloway Forest Park (26.5 miles).
Inside, the house is arranged over two floors, with generous living space for everyone to spread out. The lounge stretches the full depth of the house, providing a cosy spot to gather around the open fire. There’s also a separate dining room for sociable meals. The kitchen centres around a traditional oil-fired AGA, so you can cook up a storm, and there’s a handy larder for extra storage. On the first floor, the sleeping arrangements are ideal for families, with three twin rooms and a bunk bedroom (with low headroom on the top bunk). You’ll have a Jack and Jill en-suite bathroom and a family bathroom featuring both a bath and a separate shower. A separate WC and a cot room add extra practicality, making it easy to accommodate younger guests.
There’s ample space for relaxing outside too, with an enclosed garden and patio where everyone can enjoy the fresh coastal air safely. You can dine outdoors and watch as children and dogs play. Beyond this, there’s access to a more natural wild garden area with lovely views towards Rough Island and the surrounding estuary. You’ll also have private parking for two cars.
