The Steading at Nabny is a two bedroomed, detached barn conversion in a tranquil setting, surrounded by beautiful countryside and only a short drive from the historic old town of Kirkcudbright and the popular market town of Castle Douglas. Whilst offering peace and quiet, and exceptional dark skies, it is ideally placed to explore this stunning and unspoilt corner of south west Scotland. The Steading at Nabny, which is situated close to the owner’s home, has been beautifully converted and is extremely comfortable. The private courtyard is tucked away from the main courtyard, and offers peace and tranquillity for guests to enjoy those stunning dark skies. If weather conditions allow, the owner can offer astronomy sessions that take advantage of the beautiful dark skies and the opportunity to take astrophotographs. Whether you enjoy peaceful rural walks, a cosy evening by the wood burner or trips to see the local attractions, it’s the perfect location for a holiday.

The surrounding area has endless walks, from scenic coastal to forest trails. The attractions are endless, from sailing, fishing, golf, boat trips and water sports, to swimming and riding and much much more. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, there are stunning gardens to visit, including Threave Gardens (National Trust). Kirkcudbright, known as ’the artists’ town’, attracts visitors throughout the year who are drawn by the harbour, historic high street and the diverse range of annual events and visitor attractions. The popular programme of summer festivities culminates with the spectacular Tattoo, an event not to be missed. Beach 6 miles. Shop 5½ miles, pub and restaurant 6 miles.

Probably the best cottage we've ever had for quality of cottage, location and scenery.

Probably the best cottage we've ever had for quality of cottage, location and scenery. Kirkcudbright is 6 miles away with all the local amenities and some lovely independent shops and cafés. Stunning scenery and country parks. Would love to go back again.

Great location for exploring that part of the coast.

Great location for exploring that part of the coast. Really cosy little cottage with everything needed for a lovely holiday. Hosts were very welcoming but not intrusive. Prit’s wildlife photos and Astro photography prints on the walls are stunning.
