Mr Graham June 2015

“The facilities and location suited the children and the teenagers, as well as the adults.”

The beach right at the end of the garden was amazing, either to access directly, or sit and look out over the sands. The cottage itself was comfortable and well equipped and was very child friendly. The owner is a wonderful man, who couldn't do enough for us, what a character!

- Mr Graham, June 2015
Mrs McMahon June 2015

“To start with, what an amazing host the owner is.”

It was truly out of this world, my hubby and I had taken my mother, our daughter, two grandsons, nephew and our two tiny dogs with us. The boys especially didn't want to come home, they had the time of their lives! Anybody that reads this review, please don't hesitate to go here. The beach was fantastic and you are so close to it. We are already planning our next trip back, hopefully this year and if not, definitely next. Thanks again to the owner, a true gentleman.

There was lots for the kids to do at the house should the weather not be kind, but also a brilliant base from which to explore the area.

Location is also excellent, nice and central for the many attractions in Dumfries and Galloway.

- Mr Ingram, June 2011
Mrs Southern May 2011

“The cottage was warm and inviting, cosy and comfortable.”

The facilities were second to none. There were 4 generations and everyone said they would love to return. My 11 year old granddaughter loved the trampoline and bikes and being on the beach. All the family enjoyed dining al fresco. My Dad is 87 and he said he had never had such a relaxing time.

- Mrs Southern, May 2011
Mr Buchan February 2011

“The cottage is all you would want for a holiday and more.”

The rooms are very good, the kitchen excellent and the huge shower room and bath was more than sufficient. The extra toilet is a bonus. What can I say about the garden that nobody else has said. Perfect for young and old and being one of the latter even I was on the trampoline. The bar and pool room is a bit of genius. Had lots of good times in there darts, dominoes, pool bandit and even dancing. Have and will continue to do so, recommend it to many. Please continue the good work. Even the weather was perfect.

- Mr Buchan, February 2011
Mrs Nichols December 2010

- Mrs Nichols, December 2010
Mr Gall November 2010

“Beachcomber cottage was fantastic, great space, comfortable, very warm, and the views were exceptional.”

Ideal location for us to chill out before winter sets in and the space outside for dogs and children was great. We will definitely book the cottage again as ideal for dogs and grandchildren.

- Mr Gall, November 2010
Mr Shields October 2010

“The close proximity to the coast was excellent for walking the dogs whenever we wanted and going out of season meant we practically had it to ourselves.”

The owner has thought of everything for the family or adult only holiday with a wide range of entertainment from books and DVD's to a fully equipped games room, trampoline and play area. Even the garden had a sand pit area if you want to keep them safe and close. A most relaxing holiday for the 4 adults and 2 dogs but would suit a holidaying family just as well.

- Mr Shields, October 2010
Mrs Stotts August 2010

“Right on the beach with wonderful views and lots of things in the garden for children.”

- Mrs Stotts, August 2010
Mrs Couch July 2010

“The cottage was right on the beach with fabulous views.”

The children loved the garden with the swings, slides, play house, trampoline and sand (which was like our own private beach to dig in). We also had access to the pool room which had pool table, football table and darts to keep us entertained on rainy days. A beautiful cottage with everything you could want catered for. There were lots of lovely forest walks to do nearby and a lovely riding centre 15 mins away.

- Mrs Couch, July 2010

“Excellent for young children.”

“The cottage was a haven - incredibly comfortable and full of curiosities.”

Every detail had been considered by the owner and just about everything we could have needed was available. The personal touches of flowers and a bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival were lovely. The beach beside the cottage was beautiful and we spent a good few hours walking along it. We had a wonderful romantic week by the sea.

- Ms Reynolds, January 2010

About the location

SOUTHERNESS

Castle Douglas 19 miles; Dalbeattie 13 miles; Dumfries 16 miles.

Southerness is a small coastal village established in the late 18th century, which looks out over the Solway Firth, and forms part of the Colvend coast, one of the finest stretches of coastline on the 'Scottish Riviera'. Home to two pubs, a village store, a leisure centre with a pool and two miles of sandy beaches with sand dunes, rock pools and Gulf Stream warmed waters, and one of the oldest lighthouses in Scotland, built in 1748, it has everything you will need for a relaxing holiday. The nearby Criffel Hill rises to 569m, offers wonderful views of the farmland and the sands of the Nith Estuary below, and provides great walking opportunities. The Southerness Championship Golf Course adjoins the village and offers panoramic views of the Solway Firth, the Cumbrian Lake District to the south and the Galloway Hills to the west. A great location, with something to keep everybody occupied.
