About this property
An original 18th-century fisherman’s cottage with magnificent views over the Solway Estuary with wood-burning stove and wheelchair access.. Peacefully set with panoramic views over countryside to the Nith Estuary, these detached, single-storey holiday cottages have their own garden and have been furnished and equipped to a comfortable standard. Conheath Gatelodge is a traditional delightful and cosy Georgian cottage with many original features, whilst Martha’s Shore Cottage has magnificent views over the Solway Estuary from one side and was an original fisherman’s cottage dating back to 1700. Generations of Martha’s artistic family lived here and her father was the stone mason for the farm estate, and cut stone for the owner’s farmhouse. There are lovely riverside walks from the door with abundant birds and wildlife to spot. There are many quiet roads ideal for cycling, and excellent wildfowl salt-marshes surrounding Caerlaverock Castle, 3 miles away. Solway Firth is easily accessible.

This cottage is in a great location. Positioned on the banks of the river Nith there was plenty of wild life as well as farm animals to be seen. Also the local fishermen trying to catch trout . Burns fans are spoilt for choice. The cottage itself has plenty of crockery,pots and pans etc. A welcome pack which included eggs was waiting for us. Each of the bedrooms has its own shower and toilet with a bath in the double room. Will definitely be looking to book again some time in the not too distant future.
