These two semi-detached holiday cottages are situated 0.5 miles up a private farm track, next to the owners’ small working farm in a tranquil, peaceful location, ideal for secluded retreats or as a central touring base to explore Dumfries & Galloway. The cottages are similar in style, Rose Cottage (ref 28176) being a converted traditional granite byre with an architect-designed larch-clad extension.

They are located near the Solway Coast, close to the world-class ‘7 Stanes’ mountain bike facilities at Dalbeattie and Mabie Forest (also ideal for walking). In the vicinity is Galloway Forest Park, one of a few ‘Dark Sky Parks’ in the western world, recognised for the spectacular starry skies it affords. Dumfries, 25 minutes away, is recognised for links with Robert Burns; visitors may explore his house, sample a dram in Burns’ favourite hostelry - The Globe Inn, or visit the Robert Burns Centre. Other nearby activities include Golf, Fishing, Segway experiences, Bike hire and Canyoning.

Discover unspoilt villages, dramatic coastlines, sandy beaches and rocky coves, with gorgeous views across the Solway Firth to the Lakeland Fells. Local history includes castles, abbeys, historic ruins and neolithic chambered tombs. For artistic interests, the co-owner, Mark Welland, displays some of his artwork on site, being happy to show and discuss his art with guests. Close by, Kirkcudbright (known as the area’s art town), has galleries, museums, cafés, a distillery and a planetarium. Good food and drink can be found in a variety of excellent local farm shops, distilleries, breweries, pubs, cafés and restaurants, approximately 6 miles.

Wildlife is abundant here, with rspb Mersehead Nature Reserve nearby and Whitecroft Farm having wild roe deer, hare, badgers, bats and numerous birdlife, e.g. red kites and nesting Barn Owls. The owners are happy for guests to meet the farm animals and join in with feeding, including our 2 Highland ’Coos’, tame sheep, or even take our Blacknose Swiss Valais sheep for a wee walk! Whilst ideal for Spring/Summer holidays, the cottages are perfect for cosy Autumn/Winter breaks, great for stargazing and cosying up around the fire.

    Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rose Cottage. The cottage is lovely and we enjoyed sitting on the sofa in the evening watching the kites hovering over the fields. Hilary and Mark are lovely hosts and we enjoyed meeting the sheep and coos. Hilary gave us lots of recommendations for places to visit. We would definitely stay there again.
