This white-washed stone cottage is ideal for families or groups of friends looking for a peaceful rural escape with plenty of space both inside and out. Sleeping up to eight guests, it suits those wanting a sociable base with room to relax together after a day exploring. The surrounding area offers a wide range of activities, from walking and cycling routes to fishing, golf and horse riding. Nearby attractions include Drumlanrig Castle (5 miles), with its gardens and art collection, and the charming village of Moniaive (4 miles), known for its festivals and cultural events. The Solway Coast (30 miles) and Galloway Forest Park (20 miles) are also in easy reach for scenic day trips and outdoor adventures.
Set within expansive, well-maintained gardens, the property is approached via a private driveway. Inside, the ground floor opens into a welcoming entrance hall, leading through to an inviting sitting room featuring soft furnishings and a wood burner. Adjacent is a formal dining room with a large table ideal for group meals, while the conservatory and additional garden room provide extra living space filled with natural light and views across the lawn, pond and surrounding greenery. The kitchen is bright and functional, with ample worktops and a breakfast table positioned by large windows overlooking the garden, creating a pleasant spot for morning coffee. A utility room adds practicality for longer stays. Also on this floor is a flexible king-size bedroom (zip-and-link), along with a family bathroom. Upstairs, two further bedrooms promise comfortable nights: a double room and a family room with twin beds plus additional trundle beds, making it particularly suitable for children or mixed groups. A sleek shower room serves this floor.
Outside, the gardens are a standout feature, with a terrace area furnished for outdoor dining, a BBQ, and sweeping lawns interspersed with mature shrubs, a vegetable patch, and an unfenced pond and river.
