Myrtle Cottage (ref 28177) is a restored barn conversion featuring traditional granite and a modern larch-clad extension with a wood burner.

The cottages lie near the Solway Coast and the renowned ‘7 Stanes’ mountain bike trails at Dalbeattie and Mabie Forest, which also offer excellent walking routes. Nearby is Galloway Forest Park, one of the few ‘Dark Sky Parks’ globally, famed for its spectacular starry skies. Dumfries, the region’s capital, is a 25-minute drive and boasts strong connections to Robert Burns—visitors can tour his house, visit The Globe Inn, or explore the Robert Burns Centre.

Other local activities include golf at Colvend and Southerness courses, fishing, Segway rides, bike hire, canyoning, and watersports. The coastline offers unspoilt villages, dramatic cliffs, sandy beaches, and stunning views across the Solway Firth to the Lake District fells. Nearby historic sites include Caerlaverock Castle, Threave Castle and its gardens, Sweetheart Abbey, and Dundrennan Abbey, where Mary Queen of Scots once sought shelter.

Art lovers will appreciate the co-owner’s on-site artwork, with opportunities to discuss pieces during your stay. The nearby town of Kirkcudbright is known as the local art hub, featuring galleries, museums, cafés, a distillery, and a planetarium.

For food and drink enthusiasts, there are many excellent farm shops, distilleries, breweries, pubs, cafés, and restaurants within about six miles, and many welcoming dogs. Wildlife abounds locally, including the nearby RSPB Mersehead Nature Reserve. At Whitecroft Farm, guests may spot roe deer, red squirrels, hares, badgers, bats, red kites, and nesting barn owls.

Visitors are welcome to join in farm activities during lambing, shearing, and feeding times. You can feed and pet the two Highland cows, tame sheep, and even take the Blacknose Swiss Valais sheep for a walk, arranged during your stay.

These cottages offer a perfect getaway year-round. Built and insulated to the highest standards with a modern biomass boiler, central heating is available all year round, ensuring warmth and comfort whatever the weather. Autumn and winter are ideal for enjoying the breathtaking night skies in this tranquil, rural setting.
