Driftwood - a house that sleeps 8 guests in 3 bedrooms

Driftwood is a modern house in a quiet position close to the middle of the popular seaside village of Kippford. The house is fully accessible with lift to first floor; balcony with views down the estuary and to Screel Hill while the secure enclosed large garden to the rear is a sun trap for quiet relaxation and outside dining. The spacious and modern design ensures that it is light and airy while still being warm and cosy in winter, it is perfect for those looking for a family or group holiday in a luxury property. There are sitting rooms on both the ground floor and first floor with each having a wood burning stove.

The village facilities of busy sailing club, two excellent pubs serving food and tea room are within walking distance. There are walks from the door step while the Dalbeattie woods with both walking and bike trails are just a 5 minute drive away. Kippford is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Dumfries and Galloway and there are always things to see and do around the village. Within a short drive are a number of sandy beaches and an excellent selection of golf courses including the championship links course at Southerness. There are excellent Nature and Bird Reserves again within a short drive at Mersehead RSPB reserve and slightly further afield at WWT Caerlaverock. This is an excellent base from which to enjoy an active holiday or in which to totally relax and unwind.

Lovely house
We loved the house and the area. The house was good for my daughter who is a wheelchair user. It would have been perfect if there hadnt been a drawer below the sink. The beds were comfortable too.

Lovely house, great stay
I loved this house, it was bright, roomy and really lovely to stay in. The location was great, there’s some building work nearby but that didn’t affect us at all. It has beautiful views and is really close to Kippford to walk to. I wouldn’t change anything

Fantastic house
Family had a great time. Big house with separate sleeping areas which was good. Couldn't hear the kids upstairs in the morning. Good secure garden for kids and dogs. Lovely walks and lots to see and do in the area. Would definitely recommend.
