About this property

Get peace and quiet and a great view.

This comfortable cottage, situated in lovely countryside and surrounded by fields, is within very easy access of the M74. It is an excellent centre for exploring either the shore (About 9 miles to the Solway Firth) or the hills. There are a number of activities in the area including fishing, bird watching, Quad biking and golf. While there is plenty to do locally those wishing to travel further afield can use it as a base for day trips to Galloway in the West or the Scottish Borders to the East. It is very convenient for Carlisle (with easy access from there to the Lake District) and is within 2 hours of Edinburgh and Glasgow.

We are fairly open to bookings that are not 7 day so please ask If you are confused about the booking method or prices.

Sorry, no smoking and no pets.

Hi Lyn, So sorry you were disappointed, Here is a more typical review from guests who followed you: "Really love visiting this cottage! So handy for the M74 but also so tranquil. It's very comfortable. No wonder people rebook once they've been." Kind regards. George

Great option near the Scottish Borders

Bonshawbrae is a lovely clean accommodation. Very comfortable with everything you could need. Good WiFi reception in the kitchen and living room but we didn't need it as we enjoyed the tranquillity away from the hustle and bustle of London very much. First time visiting this region - there is easy access from the M74 and 10 min by car from Tesco Superstore in Annan. Ideal for visiting Galloway Forest Park, this is also Scotland’s first Dark Sky Park – one of the best places to stargaze in Europe. Would very much love to return. Thank you.

What a gem of a find this beautiful little cottage is! Our first time staying here, it certainly won't be our last. The cottage has everything you need, it's so comfortable, and we found the interior to be very spacious, with bonuses like the drying / utility room, housing both a washing machine and tumble dryer. The kitchen was also very well equipped, more than adequate for a self catered stay. The cottage was warm with just the heating, but we enjoyed the atmosphere of having the open fire going in the evening, very cosy. The bed was comfortable, and waking up to the view across the surrounding fields each morning a delight. The biggest plus point of this cottage has to be it's location, you have a private driveway leading up to it, we found it to be so quiet and peaceful. We loved watching the birds on the feeders out on the front bench outside with a morning cuppa, and then watching the sunset out on the back bench of an evening with a glass of wine. There are so many places to hike just a short drive away too. With the Langholme area, riverside walks on the river annan and Criffel being our favourites on this trip. Communication with George the owner was very efficient, and the information provided within the cottage itself very helpful. We can't recommend this place enough if you want to get away from it all and enjoy some tranquil surroundings, with nature all around you. Thank you for a wonderful break, just what we needed.

This is a fantastic little cottage surrounded by fields. Very peaceful and scenic. Has everything you could need for the perfect stay. Our only issue was the double bed was very hard but we survived it!! Booking and communication were both effortless. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Remote cottage

Needed accommodation as was working nights at Gretna. This cottage was absolutely perfect. No traffic noise as we slept during the day. Lovely area with views to open countryside. Owner was very helpful to, firstly allowing all male group in his property, secondly, answered all questions within minutes and lastly, a perfect host. This cottage was lovely with everything a family or group could need. Exceptionally clean and at a cost that seems unbelievably cheap. If anyone is looking for a lovely cottage, close to gretna/Carlisle, in the countryside away from noise, but close enough for motorway and shopping, then this is the ideal place for you. Can’t praise this home enough and will almost certainly be back. Jim Falkirk.

Lovely

We had a lovely break staying a few days in the cottage. The place is very welcoming with everything you need. Just what we needed to unwind. I loved that it felt quite secluded and waking up looking out the window to fields. We spent a good bit of time outdoors but loved coming back to the cottage to relax. Thanks

very nice

even though we only were there for a couple of days, we were pleasantly surprised by the very nice spot of the house. Even though you have the idea that you are completely isoltaed it is very close to the town of Kittlebridge and also Lockerbie is very close by. ThYou canb do a lot of pleasant things in the neighbourhood, especially the coast to the south is worth exploring. The house was very clean and comfortable and the contact with the owner very pleasant.

Piacevole soggiorno a Lockerbie

Il sud Scozia è forse meno noto del nord, ma è ugualmente bello e ricco. Il cottage è veramente carino, in mezzo alle colline, circondato da campi con mucche al pascolo. Insomma molto tranquillo e piacevole
