About this property
THE BOTHY, family friendly, country holiday cottage in Southerness
This charming, semi-detached cottage is superbly located in the village of Southerness in Dumfries and Galloway and sleeps six people in three bedrooms.
The Bothy is a charming, semi-detached cottage located in the village of Southerness in Scotland. With three bedrooms including two doubles (one with an en-suite shower room), plus one twin, this cottage can sleep six people. The rest of the cottage includes a ground floor bathroom, a kitchen with dining area and a sitting room with woodburner-effect fire and French doors. Outside there is off road parking for 3 cars and an enclosed, lawned garden with furniture and a barbecue. The Bothy is a charming cottage, within a two minute walk of the coast, ideal for families and friends.
Amenities: Gas central heating with woodburner-effect fire. Electric oven, gas hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, TV with Sky, DVD, CD, iPod dock, selection of books, games and DVDs. Fuel, power and starter pack for woodburner inc. in rent. Bed linen and towels inc. in rent. Cot, highchair and stairgate on request. Off road parking for 3 cars. Lockable bike storage. Enclosed lawned garden with furniture and BBQ. Sorry, no pets and no smoking. Shop, pub and beach 2 mins walk.
Region: From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the ruggedness of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. Scotland also has some of Britain’s best beaches with glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam.
Town: Southerness is a small coastal village established in the late 18th century, which looks out over the Solway Firth, and forms part of the Colvend coast, one of the finest stretches of coastline on the 'Scottish Riviera'. Home to two pubs, a village store, a leisure centre with a pool and two miles of sandy beaches with sand dunes, rock pools and Gulf Stream warmed waters, and one of the oldest lighthouses in Scotland, built in 1748, it has everything you will need for a relaxing holiday. The nearby Criffel Hill rises to 569m, offers wonderful views of the farmland and the sands of the Nith Estuary below, and provides great walking opportunities. The Southerness Championship Golf Course adjoins the village and offers panoramic views of the Solway Firth, the Cumbrian Lake District to the south and the Galloway Hills to the west. A great location, with something to keep everybody occupied.
