Dumfries pet friendly hot tub cottage

Three bedroom dog friendly house in Dumfries near Kippford with amazing views and a private hot tub ideal for coastal breaks in Scotland with family or friends.

Nestled in an elevated position with breathtaking views over Kippford, looking out over Urr Water and the stunning Solway Firth, the beautiful Solway provides 200 miles of rugged coastline on the doorstep. Within 4 miles is Colvend Golf Club, 5 miles away you’ll find the wonderful sandy beach of Sandyhills and within 50 metres there’s a friendly country pub. There are fantastic walking routes from your front door; forest trails, coastal paths, and mountain bikers will love the nearby 7stanes forest tracks. Places worth visiting include Dalbeattie (4.5 miles), Scotland’s ‘Food Town’ of Castle Douglas (10 miles) and ‘Artist’s Town’, Kirkcudbright (17 miles). Visit RSPB Mersehead (8 miles) or Galloway Activity Centre at Loch Ken, which offers a great choice of water sports and activities (20 miles). Get out on foot at Galloway Forest Park (25 miles) or tour the castles of Caerlaverock (26 miles) and Threave (14 miles).

This spacious detached property sits in the centre of Kippford, yet tucked away off the main street. An ‘upside-down’ house, there are five steps up to the entrance, with a small porch opening into the hall. Off the hallway on the ground floor, there are two bedrooms (a queen and a king). Both are bright, contemporary rooms. Along the hallway at the bottom of the stairs, there is a family bathroom with a free-standing bath and a large walk-in shower. Across the hallway is the kitchen/diner. The kitchen is well equipped and offers a social place to gather and make plans for your time here, with French windows opening to the front. There is a small utility area at the back door, where you will find a useful washing machine and tumble dryer. Head up the staircase to the first floor and there is a master king bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, and access to a large balcony, which offers the perfect spot to read a good book in the sunshine or stargaze in the evening. The lounge has been given pride of place in the house, with inspiring views across the water, comfy settees and a piano, so if you have any pianists with you, cue a sing-along! The lounge has French doors out onto the shared balcony, with the final king bedroom next door.

Outside, to the rear of the house and down just one step, you’ll find a private patio area with views into the woodland. There’s a private hot tub with a seating area for you to enjoy cosy times together. It’s a great spot to enjoy a coffee and breakfast while listening to the bird song or enjoying cool evening drinks.
