Only 3 miles from Holly Cottage is the small town of Dalbeattie and the area surrounding is hugely popular with walkers and cyclists of all ages. The world famous 7Stanes mountain trails at Dalbeattie Forest offer some of the best mountain biking in the country and attracts riders from across the UK and beyond. With its dramatic clifftops, sandy beaches and forests, walking is a delight with many beautiful walks from the doorstep. A particularly lovely walk is the walk to Almorness Point and its lovely beach, well worth a visit.
This delightful corner of South West Scotland will tempt all ages to return time and again. Warmed by the gulf stream, there are many beautiful gardens to visit, including Threave Gardens National Trust. Enjoy a drive from Dalbeattie along the Solway Coast with its extensive sandy beaches, rocky coves, traditional fishing villages and harbour ports, such as Kippford and Rockcliffe. Castle Douglas is close by, where you will find larger supermarkets and some wonderful unique shops, and Kirkcudbright just a little further afield, also has a variety of delightful little shops as well as the harbour where you can see the fishing boats returning. The area is well recognised for its clear skies as one of the twelve best stargazing sites in the world and the first Dark Sky Park in the UK so return to Holly Cottage after a day exploring and sit in the garden on a clear night and enjoy the spectacle.

Lovely cottage in a quiet location. There were some lovely walks straight from the door. The cottage its self was perfect. It had everything we needed and some we didn’t think of. We got a welcome basket with scones that were delicious! We also had a money off voucher for the local cafe/shop which we used and was a lovely touch. Definitely one of the better cottages we have stayed in and we would definitely return/recommend.

We had a great holiday at Holly Cottage, the cottage was excellent, and we thought the owners communication was great and ensured that we had everything we needed. Location was good, and very central, with great tourist site seeing attractions. All in all, absolutely great cottage ten out of ten.
