South Scotland Cottages

Just Show Me South Scotland Cottages


Our cottages in Southern Scotland are the ideal choice if you're looking for a wonderfully relaxing holiday amid stunning scenic surroundings.

Let's start in Ayrshire, birthplace of Robert Burns and an absolute paradise for golfers, with over forty courses some of championship status. Sailing enthusiasts flock to the Firth of Clyde's sheltered waters, while walkers and cyclists head for the impressive granite mountains. And do hop across to the Isle of Arran, a tiny version of Scotland showcasing a mesmerising choice of activities.

Expect a few surprises when you book a cottage in Southern Scotland!

Dumfries and Galloway is a truly unspoilt corner of Scotland fringed with deserted beaches - sands where Burns once galloped on horseback; where whisky smugglers came ashore. Romantic ruined castles and other historic monuments dot the landscape, constant reminders of past times. Explore the Galloway Forest Park, where deer are more common than man and nature has cast its magic, offering a mix of forest, moorland and lochs. You can also expect a few surprises - there's a town for artists (Kirkcudbright), books (Wigtown) and food (Castle Douglas); even a Tibetan Buddhist Monastery!

Or opt for the Scottish Borders, brimming with castles, abbeys, stately homes and museums, offering a fascinating insight into the area's bloody history. Look out for pageants and festivals during your stay, along with Rugby Sevens' tournaments - rugby is extremely popular here. You'll also find fantastic fishing and the chance to buy high-quality tartans, tweeds and knitwear.

All in all, something for everyone when you book a cottage in Southern Scotland!
