About this property
Allonby Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 7 guests in 4 bedrooms
Allonby is a delightful cottage on the Solway Firth. Situated on the sea front in Kippford the cottage offers flexible accommodation, providing cosy comfort for a couple or plenty of space for a family. The cottage has wonderful uninterrupted views over the Urr Estuary, Kippford harbour and the Galloway hills beyond.
To the front of Allonby is a gravelled area with seating and picnic table, perfect to sit out and watch the world go by. To the rear the garden is totally enclosed with a children's play house, BBQ, more garden furniture and views over the estuary and beyond.
Allonby is ideally located for nearby beaches, sailing, mountain biking, golfing, walking, fishing or simply relaxing by the sea. The picturesque village of Kippford has all you need for a wonderful stay; beautiful scenery, good food and plenty to do. There are two good pubs within walking distance both of which serve food and a small seasonal shop. It is also the ideal location to explore the south west of Scotland. Within easy reach there is an inexhaustible supply of National Trust for Scotland properties, RSPB reserves, family activities, historic sites, stunning coastal and hill scenery and bustling market towns to explore.
