Cocooned in scenic farmland and beautifully refurbished, this charming holiday haven offers homely accommodation for a family of five in Southern Scotland. Its location offers everything from beach days to forest adventures and stargazing. Located near Annan, this property puts you within reach of the distinctive Solway Coast National Landscape, with pristine beaches like Powfoot (8 miles), which offers dog-friendly sand and shingle. Golf enthusiasts will enjoy Powfoot Golf Course, which overlooks the Firth, and walkers can join the scenic coast path. For the younger guests, the Dino Park at Hetland provides prehistoric experiences, and when you need refuelling, head to Drummuir Farm Ice Cream Parlour for a mouthwatering selection of over 30 flavours. If you prefer an alcoholic treat, then Annandale Distillery (3.5 miles) has many single malts to sample.
After a day of sightseeing, make your way into this welcoming three-bedroom cottage, where country charm blends fluently with modern comforts. The kitchen is the first room you’ll come to, which boasts generous appliances so you can cook up a storm with ease. Roll back the door to the kitchen to the dining room and gather for meals around the four-seater table. The sitting room features soft furniture for lounging, as well as a TV, DVD player, and CD player, or perhaps unwind with a drink and a book in the separate sunroom – it’s a stunning place to lap up the ever-changing views of the countryside. The three tranquil bedrooms all have beautiful furnishings, whether you choose the double, twin or single. Refresh each morning with a hot shower in the shower room with WC. Finishing the home is the handy tumble dryer in the outdoor shed that’s available to all guests.
Use the patio doors from the sunroom and head into the garden. This fully enclosed space is a delight, offering views of rolling greenery and two patio seating areas perfect for outdoor dining. It is also a favourite spot for local wildlife, with regular visits from birds and the occasional fox or deer in the neighbouring field. There is parking available.
