Overview
Property code: OC-D546076

Traditionally styled and extremely comfortable, this home-from-home abode in the lovely harbour town of Kirkcudbright in Dumfries and Galloway offers a wonderful base for a world of adventure. It’s within effortless reach of the town’s amenities and attractions, including Broughton House, the local community-run swimming pool and the Kirkcudbright Dark Space Planetarium (all within 0.5 miles). Check out the town’s lively line-up of events throughout the year, including the annual tattoo and fireworks display. Along the River Dee, discover the neighbouring town of Castle Douglas (9.5 miles), well known as Scotland’s devoted foodie town, with plenty of quality restaurants, butchers, bakers and delis to peruse. Explore Threave House (8.5 miles), Carlingwark Loch (9 miles) and Threave Castle (9.5 miles), before dropping into town for some refreshments. Venturing in the opposite direction, begin exploring the beauty of the Solway Coast with a trip to a local beach, including Dhoon Beach (3.5 miles) and Carrick Beach (9.5 miles).

Filled with creature comforts, this terraced cottage is a welcoming place in which to unwind. Make your way inside and head straight up to the first floor, where a lounge invites peaceful nights on two cushy sofas. Switch on the TV/DVD player and enjoy the warm glow from the coal-effect electric fire. Next to it, a separate dining room comfortably seats five and offers an additional single sofa bed, making this room a versatile sleeping space. The kitchen is just next door: a compact galley-style kitchen that’s well equipped with everything your group may need. A shower room completes this floor. Moving up to the second floor, discover two bedrooms. Both are cosy and inviting; one is laid out as a double and the other arranged as a snug twin.

Due to its town centre location, there is no garden allocated to this property however there are many easy dog walks. There is storage downstairs for bikes, encouraging you to get out and explore the Scottish countryside.

Parking is also easily available on the street outside, subject to availability.

We had a great holiday at 26 Castle Street. Comfortable apartment with everything you need for a self catering holiday. A little tired in places. Nice and quiet. Kirkcudbright is a lovely town. Thank you for the welcome gift!

Property easy to find with adequate parking. Easy entry procedure and warm on entry. This was early January 2026. Plenty of room for 4 adults and nice warm beds. The kitchen was well equipped. Bottle of wine waiting for us. Stocked with basic necessities such as spices and coffee. Even had a French press. We just hung out in the house and watched TRead moreV. Made two trips to Dumfries but all our needs could be met in Kircudbright. Later in the year there are many fun activities planned. A Scottish dance and music night end of January. Booking was easy with all things accomplished by email. The owners were responsive to questions. Will book again. Duncan. Hide

Kirkcudbright is a delightful place to visit. The accommodation is very central to all activities, shops and restaurants. It was very homely although a lot of stairs which were difficult for those less mobile. Good parking directly outside.

We've been to this flat in Castle Street before. It's ideally situated in Kirkcudbright and thus a terrific base for exploring this region of Dumfries and Galloway.

In April we stayed in the house, I had long wanted to visit Kirkcudbright, I always wondered why over time it had been chosen as a home by many artists. Once on site I knew it immediately, the town and the people who live there are delightful. Certainly the location helped make our vacation unforgettable, and the 'Scottish hospitality is unparallelRead moreed, as soon as we entered we felt at home. Exceptional cleanliness, great smelling towels and sheets. The kitchen was super equipped, comfy couches and books and board games to pass the time. We also very much enjoyed the brochures being our first time visiting the area. From the house it was a one-minute walk to the main street, stocked with stores, cafes and supermarkets. We loved every minute spent there. The staff was very knowledgeable and responsive. We hope to be able to return soon. Thank you for everything Hide

I had a wonderful time in Kirkcudbright. What a great and friendly community. Ten days just wasn't enough. The focus on local talent and local products was really encouraging. The accommodations I stayed in were wonderful and it felt like staying in a home not a rental.
