Overview
Property code: OC-D545844

On the outskirts of the artists’ town of Kirkcudbright, this Dee Valley cottage invites friends and family to embrace a slower pace of life surrounded by beautiful natural scenery. The town itself is just 2.5 miles away, offering an eclectic centre rich in artistic heritage. Browse independent galleries, visit the local planetarium, enjoy riverside picnic spots or explore the selection of shops, pubs and eateries dotted throughout the town. Just 1.5 miles away, The Cocoabean Company makes a fantastic afternoon out, especially for families with children. Beyond the town lies the rugged beauty of the Solway coastline. Visit Dhoon Beach (5.5 miles), a sheltered sandy beach perfect for coastal walks, or set off from Kirkcudbright on the scenic St Mary’s Isle Walk (3.5 miles), winding through peaceful woodland towards the shores of Kirkcudbright Bay.

This detached holiday home is surrounded by mature gardens and towering trees - pause on arrival to soak up the peaceful atmosphere and sense of seclusion. Inside, all rooms are conveniently arranged across a single level. The spacious kitchen/diner is both practical and welcoming, with a breakfast table ideal for planning the day’s adventures or gathering together over a leisurely meal. Next door, the charming lounge features comfortable sofas and armchairs gathered around the cosy warmth of an open fire, along with a TV/DVD for relaxed evenings in. After a blockbuster or box set binge, head down the hallway to discover the property’s three restful bedrooms. A master double bedroom, a twin room and a bunk bedroom are all decorated in soft, calming tones to create a relaxing retreat at the end of the day. These rooms are served by a bright and spacious family bathroom.

When the sun is shining, step outside to enjoy birdwatching and peaceful afternoons in the delightful, enclosed garden. The large lawn provides a safe space for children and pets to play, while outdoor seating invites you to sit back and unwind. The property also overlooks a tennis court, which, in season, may be available for guest use - simply speak to the owners to check availability. Private driveway parking available.

My wife and I spent a comfortable and enjoyable week at Glenauld. It is a traditional cottage with plenty of space for the two of us and made a good base for touring the region. There is also a great walk from the cottage to Kirkcudbright along the banks of the river. It takes a couple of hours there and back and was a real treat for the dog.

We had a wonderful week, the size of the house allowed me to surprise my husband with his family for his birthday for the night. The house and garden are perfect for a couple with their dog, or a family. Lovely central location for exploring the area. The hosts were friendly and on hand if we needed anything. Plenty to do and places to eat if yoRead moreu don't feel like cooking. Though the kitchen is well equipped. Hide

The cottage has everything you need. It's warm and cosy and in a central area for visiting other places. We've been coming for 20 yes so highly recommend it, also Tom and Celia are always on hand for anything you need or information about the area. Just like going home.

The setting and the cottage outwardly are superb. Internally the cottage is showing its age a little. The kitchen doors bang very loudly when closed which gets to be irritating very much. The bathroom, particularly the shower in the bath would be much better changed to a walk in shower and no bath. We are elderly and felt that the shower situation Read morewas potentially dangerous, no handle for support etc Hide

Very spacious, well-equiped bungalow set in beauriful, completely private enclosed grounds. Ideal for dogs, old folk and tennis buffs.

We've been coming nearly 20years and can't fault it. The cottage has everything you need, it's in a central position to explore the area. The garden is perfect and secure for our dogs. Tom and Celia are always on hand if you need, they are full of information, especially if you are new to the area. Just like going home, love it.
