Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Sitting on the southwest coast of Scotland, this home provides the perfect escape for families and friends. Think squashy sofas, a cosy cottage-like kitchen and a crackling fireplace to unwind with a wee dram at the end of the day. The woods immediately beside the lawns close to Corsewall House and just a few minutes’ walk from the cottage are a dedicated children’s fun zone. The private garden provides a lush playground for children (and adults) complete with an 18-metre zip wire, a climbing frame, a slide as well as three swings. It is the perfect spot for parents to relax with a spread of local foods and perhaps a drop or two to drink while the kids play – picnic anyone? And if that wasn't enough, the kids can also bounce their hearts out on the 14-foot trampoline by the edge of the lawns. There's even a campfire area in the woods for toasting marshmallows. Beyond the site, the local area also offers plenty to keep the whole crowd busy, from sprawling coastlines and colourful fishing towns to aristocratic homes – your most difficult decision will be choosing where to visit first.

About Dumfries & Galloway

With a landscape that inspired the poetry of Burns, rugged coast and crumbling castles, Dumfries and Galloway is the perfect spot for a wild Scottish break. The lowlands of Scotland may not have the same fame as the highlands, but you’ll still find heather-clad hillside rambles, cosy country pubs serving neeps and tatties, and quiet fishing villages dotting the coastline.
