Cosy Family Cottage In Rolling Country Near Beach - Sleeps 5

Burnside is a charming detached holiday cottage, built in the 1850s and tucked away off a quiet country lane.

The cottage opens on to enclosed front and back gardens, where you can bbq local meats abd lobster; or enjoy a drink while watching dozens of varieties of bird and wildlife. In the mornings, deer are often found grazing in the garden, while Yellowhammers sing from the hedgerows as the sun sets and Meadow Pipits trill overhead all day.

The kitchen is very well equipped, since we visit too for family holidays and we are keen cooks. It has a full range of utensils, sharp knives(!) and an expresso machine, as well as cafetieres, plenty of wine glasses and mugs. There is a dishwasher, microwave, electric hob and oven, washer/dryer. There’s also a log burner with free wood to keep it cosy in winter. Plus free wi-fi.

In 2022, we had a new bathroom fitted with powerful shower over the bath. It is a spacious bathroom with plenty of storage.

There are three lovely bedrooms with garden views - a double, a single and a twin room -- with two zip and link beds that can convert into a kingsize double.

Galloway’s glorious coastline is on your doorstep with many sandy beaches and rocky coves to explore.

We’re a great base for for walking (Southern Upland Way, Galloway Forest Park), cycling (7 Stanes Kirroughtree), golf (St Medans) and fishing (river, loch or sea). Plus bird watching (35 species and counting seen in the garden by visitors).

It's just over a mile from the fishing village of Port William (shop, cafe (serves beer) and takeaway).

All bed linen and towels are provided. Unfortunately, we're unable to take pets.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

This is a lovely, peaceful cottage, ideal for couples or families. There is plenty to do close by but you definitely need a car. Lots of beaches to visit. Check venues before you go, as a few were not open. Overall a lovely peaceful holiday.

A lovely cottage.

A lovely family break to get away and relax. The cottage was perfect and just what we needed for a cozy getaway. It was plenty big enough for two adults and two teenage children to have the space they needed. The small kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, we even made pancakes on Shrove Tuesday! We would highly recommend this cottage we had a lovely relaxing time and explored the nearby towns and distilleries.

Just lovely!

We enjoyed our stay at Burnside immensely. The cottage was very well equipped and very cosy and the perfect place to return to after a day exploring the beautiful surrounding areas. We saw deer and hares in the garden a few times which was exciting. Weather was good too. We will definitely consider returning next year.

Pretty much perfection...

This gave us everything we were looking for. The cottage itself is well kitted out, and has everything that is needed, but the quiet county location is perfect. Sited near the main road, but not close enough to be bothered by traffic noise, so you can get out and about easily, there are also walks from the door so that you can just leave the car and head out for the day.

Fantastic property

My family and I have just enjoyed a wonderful week at Burnside cottage.It was just lovely. There's nothing the owners haven't thought of.The cottage was so well equipped from cooking in the lovely kitchen, games night, movie night, bedding, towels etc absolutely everything was top quality and available. The owners have also taken the time to put together a very compact folder, containing everything you could want to know about the area, things to do near by, directions etc We all had a fantastic week and will definitely return. Thank you.

Wonderful property

Wonderful first stay in Scotland . The cottage is warm , welcoming, clean and has everything you need and more for a comfortable stay. It is in a fairly remote position with just a couple of properties in eyesight . So if your looking to engage with nature then this ideal . During our stay we woke every morning to 3 deer at the front of the property, we observed birds building their nests in the nesting boxes and watched various species of birds around the property. The cottage is an excellent base to explore the surrounding area such as the White Loch , Drumclodden stones and Port William all in walking distance . We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage . Charles the owner left all the information for the property and places of interest nearby . We would definitely like to revisit in the near future . Thank you Charles for a lovely stay

A quiet retreat

This cottage is in a quiet location a few miles from Port William.There are no other dwellings nearby, except a farm further along the lane. We saw a small group of deer twice in the garden in the early morning. The cottage is warm, comfortable and well equipped. It was spotlessly clean when we arrived. The host was friendly and helpful both before and after our stay. Dumfries and Galloway is an excellent area to holiday in. It is quiet and unspoilt, with woods, waterfalls, coastal walks and beaches. We saw grey seals and many birds, including gannets, egrets, herons, curlews, a peregrine falcon, red kites and buzzards. We would be happy to return to both the cottage and the area.
