Sandy Toes

Sandy Toes is a delightful pet-friendly terraced cottage in Powfoot, near Annan in Dumfriesshire.

Enjoying coastal views across the Solway Firth towards the distant Lake District.

Positioned just across the road from the shoreline, this welcoming retreat is well-suited to families and friends seeking a seaside escape with opportunities for scenic walks, days on the beach and exploring the surrounding area.

Arriving at the cottage, pass through the gate and into the enclosed front garden, where a patio, gravelled area and outdoor furniture create a lovely space to sit with a morning coffee while admiring the far-reaching coastal views.

A few steps lead up into the property, where the open-plan living space provides a sociable setting for spending time together.

The sitting area is positioned to make the most of the outlook, allowing you to relax beside the electric fire while watching your favourite programmes on the Smart TV.

The adjoining dining area offers a welcoming place to gather for relaxed breakfasts and evening meals after a day by the sea.

The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped for self-catering stays, with an electric oven and hob, microwave and fridge/freezer ready for preparing family favourites.

When the meal is finished, the dishwasher takes care of the washing up, leaving more time to enjoy your holiday, while the washing machine is ideal after coastal adventures.

WiFi is available throughout the property, making it easy to plan the next day's activities or stay connected during your stay.

As evening falls, head upstairs to discover two inviting bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The bathroom is home to both a roll-top bath and a walk-in shower, giving guests the choice between a leisurely soak and a refreshing start to the day.

The double bedroom provides a pleasant space to settle in for the night, while the king-size bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room with a heated towel rail, adding extra convenience for guests.

Outside, the enclosed front garden is a wonderful place to enjoy the fresh sea air, while the non-enclosed rear garden provides additional outdoor space.

Off-road parking for two cars is available, with an access road passing behind the property to the parking area.

The beach is only a short stroll away, while a shop and pub can both be reached within a short drive.

Spend time exploring Annan, where riverside walks, local shops and historic attractions showcase the character of this Dumfriesshire town.

Visit Gretna Green to discover its famous wedding heritage, browse independent shops and wander through attractive grounds.

Carlisle also makes an excellent day out, with Carlisle Castle, Carlisle Cathedral and a range of shops, eateries and cultural attractions to enjoy.

Further afield, Caerlaverock Castle offers a striking moated setting, impressive medieval architecture and fascinating Scottish history.

The Lake District National Park invites visitors to enjoy scenic lake cruises, memorable walking routes and picture-postcard villages surrounded by dramatic landscapes.
