The two village pubs both serve food, so options for eating out are also on the doorstep if required. Kippford is one of the most popular villages on the Solway Coast and is a bustling centre for mountain biking, sailing and other water sports. There are also numerous other attractions in the area including art galleries and museums in Kirkcudbright and also the busy market town of Castle Douglas. Outdoor pursuits are extremely well catered for with close by beaches and cliff walks leading from Kippford around to the adjoining popular village of Rockcliffe.

Crabbing on the pontoon just a stone’s throw from the house is a fantastic activity for all, particularly popular for younger visitors.
