The area surrounding Lime tree Cottage is just as enticing, as this lovely corner of South West Scotland is known for its rugged beauty from beautiful sandy beaches and cliff top walks to forest trails.

It really is a day out to remember.
The Galloway Forest Park is an amazing place to visit where you can enjoy great walking in the rolling Galloway glens and hills with breathtaking loch and mountain views, and as the UK’s first Dark Sky Park, one of the darkest places in the UK, you can enjoy the starry night skies.

Lime Tree Cottage is a pleasant cottage in the countryside, but only 7 miles from Dumfries. It's spacious and well equipped. The owner, Shirley, was friendly and very helpful when we had problems with unfamiliar equipment.

A roomy cottage with everything one needs. A quiet rural location but within a few miles of Dumfries and many other lovely places to visit nearby. Very helpful owners live locally.
