This light and cosy holiday cottage has been thoughtfully converted from a former stables to make a lovely hideaway for three adults or for two adults and two children. Situated in the picturesque seaside village of Kippford, the property lies next to a friendly pub/restaurant and is just a short stroll from a choice of cafes and tearooms. A popular sailing destination, the village sits along the northern shore of the Solway Firth, with a lovely beach just to the east at Sandyhills (4.5 miles). To the north, the historic town of Dalbeattie (4 miles) is home to a theatre, golf club and museum, with nearby attractions including Buittle Castle, Dalbeattie Reservoir and Plantain Loch, all within 7 miles.

Entering this sympathetically updated property, the welcoming hallway features stairs leading up to the first floor and directly into the snug, fresh and cheerful lounge/diner. Featuring ample comfortable seating and a TV, the bright and charming lounge also offers picturesque views over the river and towards Screel, the highest local peak. A sociable dining table is ideal for everyone to get together for a family meal which you can prepare in the fully equipped galley-style kitchen. Returning to the ground floor, you will find an invigorating shower room and a choice of two cosy, tastefully decorated bedrooms: a lovely king-size room and a charming single which has a useful additional pull-out child’s bed.

From the kitchen, a door leads out onto the bridge which leads across and down to the beautifully arranged terrace garden which has a BBQ and ample outdoor furniture and seating areas, offering a delightful spot for a morning coffee or a quiet drink in the evening.

We love Kippford Stables it's ideal location and cosy feel is great. The only thing we would suggest is work on the outside areas as they are a bit tired. This however doesn't spoil a great place to stay. We spent most time on shell beach a 10 min walk from front door. Kippford Stables is very central and everything is on the doorstep, pubs, cafe, Read moreRNLI shop, lovely coves, and numerous walks. I would highly recommend the property and will look forward to returning soon. Hide

Another great stay at Kippford Stables. A lovely cottage with great amenities. It's very near to Dumfries, Castle Douglas and Dalbeattie, the lovely town of Kirkcudbright is a bit more of a journey, but well worth it. The booking process with Discover Scotland was easy and very smooth.

Another lovely holiday at the Kippford Stables. The accommodation is very comfortable and comes with it's own parking bay. There are plenty of places to visit that are nearby Dalbeattie and Castle Douglas are both within a short drive if you want to go further, then Dumfries and Kirkcudbright are both worth a visit.

We have had another fabulous holiday at The Kippford Stables Cottage. This was our third visit to Kippford Stables and it has never disappointed. It's a lovely cottage with lots of space on the inside and great outdoor facilities. We are already planning our next visit!!

We stayed in Kippford. It's a quiet, lovely seaside location, it's a great base to explore towns all within a short journey by car. New Abbey, Dalbeattie and Castle Douglas are all a short drive away. Dumfries and Kirkcudbright are a bit further afield, but both are worth a visit. For those who are interested in nature can find the Mersehead natuRead morere reserve within a 15 minute drive from Kippford. From Kippford village there is a lovely walk to nearby Rockcliffe village. We would thoroughly recommend a visit to Kippford or anywhere in Dumfries and Galloway. Hide
