Renovated in 2021, this one bedroom cottage in Penpont provides a great stay to explore Dumfries and Galloway or just enjoy the cottage and it’s peaceful surroundings. Fully equipped kitchen, ground floor shower room, super king bedroom and sofa bed in the living area which has an extendable dining table to seat up to 4 adults. There is a patio to the rear of the cottage and rock garden which leads onto the community green and play park. There are plenty of country walks, bike rides and wild swims either straight from the doorstep or a short car drive away, there are also castles, sculpture parks, gardens, heritage centres, museums and wildlife reserves to name a few more things to do! In Penpont there is a corner shop and a cafe which serves amazing cake or the perfect full Scottish breakfast. The village also has a fleet of hire e-bikes too so you can make the most of the new (2024) cycle path between Penpont and Thornhill. The larger village of Thornhill is just a 7 minute drive away and provides more great options for eating out as well as a Co-Op/Spar for all your essentials, pharmacy, butchers, electrical and hardware shops and even a couple of clothes boutiques.

Hi! I’m Ross your co-host for the Wee Cottage. My now wife, Lucy and I met out in France servicing holiday chalets some years ago so we have some idea of what we’re doing but constantly learning. We now own a bike shop - The Frothy Bike Co in town so can help with all things cycling and we love walking and wild swimming locally too so happy to make recommendations for your stay. We live just down in the next village of Thornhill so can help with any matter during your stay either over the phone or in person. Alternatively if you’d rather be left alone to do your own thing, there is self check in and you won’t hear a thing from us.

Penpont is a quiet village with an active local community. Most visitors will arrive by car and this will likely be your best mode of transport unless of course you’re visiting for walking and cycling of which there are many beautiful routes. There is a bus link serving the village and cycle path to the village of Thornhill.
