Kingholm Quay, Dumfries

If you’re seeking a rural retreat, you really couldn’t be better located – there are fast-flowing burns, vast forests, and the Caerlaverock Castle nature reserve right on your doorstep, where you can discover birds, wildflowers, and wildlife. And after a day in the great outdoors, you can come home, kick off your shoes in the boot room and settle down with a movie and glass of wine by the fire.

Portpatrick, Stranraer

This cottage sits on a 2000-acre estate where walking trails through the woodlands bring you to waterfalls, lochs and the craggy coastline of Dumfries and Galloway. A forty-minute stroll down a forest track brings you to a deserted beach, and the coastal town of Portpatrick is a twenty-minute walk away.
