We are blessed to farm the Arbigland Estate which is an area of outstanding natural beauty and recognised as such in that it is designated as being in a National Scenic Area and a site of Special Scientific Interest - the fossils along the beach tell a tale. We look forward to welcoming you to this glorious bit of South West Scotland and hope you come to love it as much as we do. We want you to have a fantastic holiday and want to come back again and again as many of our guests do.

A charming three bedroom, traditional stone built Galloway cottage renovated for 21st century comfort. Surrounded by cornfields, 5 minute walk from a fabulous dog friendly beach. It is quiet and secluded with lovely walks straight from the door. Semidetached (but very thick walls, so no noise) and Arthur a retired gardener lives next door (a lovely local character, who will no doubt charm you)! It has idyllic seaviews, Southerness Lighthouse and Lake District Mountains to the front and Criffel, Galloway's finest mountain behind. We get lots of repeat bookings from people who enjoy this very special bit of countryside and all it has to offer - the wildlife, the scenery, mountain biking, Birdwatching, walking and golf to name but a few. Upstairs there is a (superking) double and a twin bedroom (steep stairs) and a small double bedroom with ensuite bathroom downstairs, along with a with a further shower room and lavatory. There is a large open plan living area with a cosy woodburning stove (though heating is provided!) and a door leading out to an enclosed (dog proof) west facing garden perfect for a BBQ watching sun sets. It really is the perfect place to get away from it all.
