With stunning views across the River Urr, this holiday hideaway sits in the heart of Kippford, a village often referred to as Scotland’s Riviera Coast. Once a prominent centre for ship repairs, Kippford is today a popular sailing location that combines beautiful seaside scenes with old-world charm. Enjoy leisurely strolls around the village to admire its granite and white-washed houses and refuel at friendly local inns. Work up an appetite with a 2-mile walk along the Jubilee Path to Rockcliffe, where the beach faces nature sanctuary Rough Island, accessible with care via a tidal causeway. For a change of terrain, drive north to Dalbeattie Forest, where you’ll find a mix of walking routes, scenic viewpoints, picnic spots and mountain biking trails. Beyond, Castle Douglas is a thriving market town full of eateries and stores showcasing local produce.
Occupying the upper part of a traditional ‘over and under cottage’, the apartment comes with parking for two cars so you can unpack and explore at your own pace. Step inside and leave your outdoor gear in the utility room before storing self-catering supplies in the contemporary kitchen across the hall. Adjacent, the dining area links effortlessly to the lounge, where a large bay window frames fabulous views to the hills of Bengairn and Screel. Stretch out on a sofa and unwind with a movie; shelves full of books offer further home-style entertainment. When it’s time to sleep, a door leads from the lounge into the hallway, off which there are three bedrooms – two doubles and a twin. A bathroom and a shower room ensure there’s convenience for all.
Extensive gardens to the rear offer level access to the property and feature lawned and patio areas, with outdoor furniture and a BBQ so you can cook and dine in the sunshine. Pretty planting adds seasonal interest. Private parking for two cars is provided.
