Answer the call of the coast with a trip to Dumfries and Galloway, staying in this enviable two-person escape overlooking Carrick Bay. The bay (100 metres) and Carrick Beach (0.5 miles) both offer sandy shores and stunning scenery, creating an effortless setting for water sports, walks along the sand and invigorating coast path hikes. The towns of Gatehouse of Fleet (6 miles) and Kirkcudbright (9.5 miles) each offer a generous dose of market-town appeal. The latter is a self-confessed artists' town with a historic connection to the Glasgow Boys, along with plenty of local art galleries to explore. The former sits on the edge of Galloway Forest Park (13 miles), a designated Dark Sky Discovery Site and a destination for endless hikes, bike rides and nature trails.
This bijou space is overflowing with traditional appeal, complete with high ceilings, original beams and skylights that let natural light flood in. The studio-style layout places the lounge, kitchen, diner and bedroom in one convenient space, yet still feels spacious enough for two to spread out. The kitchenette does not include an oven; however, it has been equipped with mod-cons including an air fryer, a slow cooker and a two-ring electric hob for an easy self-catered stay. Sit down together in the dining area or on the sofa, letting the warmth of the wood burner lend the room a cosy glow. A TV provides entertainment late into the evening, and you can retire to the king-size bed as the night draws to a close. Completing the interior is a wet room with a shower and WC.
Step outside and up a flight of external steps to reach the private, elevated decking. This fabulous space offers sweeping sea views, outdoor furniture, a charcoal BBQ and a chiminea, making it the perfect spot to sit with a morning coffee or evening tipples. Ample parking is available in the shared on-site car park, making your Scottish day trips stress-free.
