Fabulous cottage in a lovely location. Easy to reach a number of towns and villages on the Solway Coast. Kippford is a pretty village and Mariner Hotel did not disappoint food was lovely. The Ark was also very good for breakfast. Would like to come back to Brooksyde very soon,

A wonderful, very spacious property with everything provided at the highest standard. The house itself was very clean, lovely furnishings and very well equipped. We had lots of fun in the games room but do make sure you buy logs for the wood burner if it’s cold weather - it soon warms up . The garden was amazing and very large to the delight of our dog - and it is well enclosed so no escape opportunities! There are lots of wonderful walking routes either from the property or a short drive away. A very minor downside was the WiFi was a little hit and miss at times. And both the local pubs were closed - the Anchor permanently but not sure about the Mariner - perhaps just over the Christmas break. However, the Ark (just a few minutes walk away) was open which is a wonderful little cafe selling great food - and they also do a takeaway option.Overall we would highly recommend Brooksyde and hope to visit again some day.
