  • "Loved our stay and the garden."

    The cottage had every thing we needed but found the bed was too hard for us and we struggled to turn the shower on. But enjoyed our stay .

    Spotlessly clean. It is in a great location for exploring the area by both walking and by car.Would highly recommend and would return.

  • "Fantastic cottage with a terrific garden to the rear."

    Well situated between Annan and Dumfries and great base to explore the area. The property has everything you need for a short break and is comfortable throughout. Thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. Owner contacted us before arrival to ensure everything was as needed and to offer help/support if needed - lovely touch.

  • "From the outside the cottage looks quite unassuming but on entering it's very spacious with good sized rooms and very light and airy."

    Large bathroom with walk in shower. Well equipped kitchen and dining area. Large bedroom and very comfortable double bed. Second bedroom with twin beds and again a good size but not required as there is only 2 of us. The large secure enclosed garden is marvellous for the dog and relaxing in. Annan is close by with good independent shops cafes pubs and supermarkets. Take a steady walk down the lane or through the woods to solway firth. Lots of wildlife. So peaceful and quiet. We never came across a carpark where you had to pay. Amazing. For people who like peace and quiet without being totally isolated I can't recommend it enough. Thank you Brian 7-9-24.

    We loved the history of Flora's Cottage and were delighted with the property - it is so well appointed and the garden is a plant persons dream and so well maintained. You have a first class property which you so kindly share with others - thank you for allowing us to experience a stay at such a lovely cottage. Daisy, our Border Terrier, loved her walks to the beach and being able to play in the secure garden.

    The Cottage is beautiful, homely with a most amazing garden. Neither me or my husband are not of good health so it was a delight to be able to relax in such an ideal setting. We were drawn and intreged by the history and character of such a magical place . We would definitely recommend Cummertrees and look forward to going again soon.

  • "We had a wonderful week staying at 7 Cummertrees."

    The house was very clean and had everything in place to make our stay comfortable, there wasn't a single thing that would have made the stay better. The beds were extremely comfortable, the shower warm and powerful, the living room settees relaxing and the kitchen very well kitted out to satisfy our every need. The garden at the at the rear of the property is very large and full of roses and flowering shrubs, there has been a lot of work making and maintaining this garden. The summer house was relaxing to sit in after we arrived home from visiting places and walking the dogs. The garage was an extra bonus for storing our bikes. We loved our week here

    It's a well equipped property, in a quiet village. The garden is stunning and plenty of information is provided about the property and local walking routes, places to visit, where to eat etc. The photos really don't do it justice. After a difficult few months it was just what I needed. Now i'm fully rested and re-energised. All the stargazing I did definitely helped! The friendly and helpful community, made a nice change from the hustle and bustle of most places these days. Perfect location to explore surrounding areas too. I'm looking forward to planning my next visit here.

    In other words ideal if you have a dog. we would certainly use this property again. Just a few minor suggestions only made to add perfect final touches to an excellent holiday cottage, the cooker could have been cleaned, some kitchen drawers wiped, the bin washed out and the hoover emptied as this did create a smell when used .The instruction with regard plumbing could be simplified to just say only put toilet paper down the toilet, all other items to go in the bin provided.

    The house feels homely and welcoming, with comfy beds, sofas and excellent shower. The garden especially was beautiful, our dogs loved it. Good walk in the nearby woods and a nice large park in Annan for walking dogs. If I were to make any suggestions to make life a little easier in the house, it would be a soap holder attachment in the shower, a long handled soft brush for the kitchen floor, and a new can opener! Attention is required re shower leaking from inside and making wall damp. That aside, I would definitely recommend a stay at 7 Cummertrees and would love to return some day.

Very comfortable beds and great shower. If I had to have one negative it would be that the sofas were pretty grubby and the cottage overall could do with a little tlc and maybe some new wine glasses.

The property

Annan 3.9 miles.

Sat in the charming village of Cummertrees, overlooking the beautiful Scottish countryside is this gorgeous single-storey cottage, offering a restful accommodation for a small family or group of four.

Find 7 Cummertrees resting next to a converted 18th century church on the main street of the village, welcoming you into a bright and airy abode.

Make your way inside and drop off your bags in one of the delightful bedrooms, comprising a double and a twin room, both looking out to the front of the property with ample storage and neutral décor, served by a glorious shower room which boasts a spacious double rainfall shower for a morning refresh.

Prepare tasty meals in the amply-equipped kitchen/diner, fitted with contemporary amenities for your self-catering needs, as well as a casual breakfast bar, and a further formal dining table where you can host special occasions in front of garden views.

Once the plates have been cleared away in the dishwasher, kick back on one of the plush sofas for a family film night in front of the flat screen TV, letting the gas log-effect fire bring a sense of charm to the space, or make use of the fun board games provided for a night of fun.

Spend a summer's afternoon in the large garden, letting your furry friends and children run around the enclosed lawn as you enjoy a relaxing picnic or curl up with a book on the swing chair, as you admire the far-reaching countryside and sea views.

Soak up the peaceful surroundings, and take a romantic stroll along the woodland path to the beach at Powfoot.

Gaze above and you will see barnacle geese regularly flying over the cottage from September onwards.

Only a mile away is Powfoot Golf Club, which is a links course with wonderful views and welcomes visitors.

Head to the town of Annan to stock up on supplies from one of the many local shops and supermarkets.

Annan is also home to a choice of pubs and restaurants when you fancy a meal out, as well as a cinema, museum, swimming pool, riverside park, Annandale Distillery, and many walking spots nearby.

Put on your walking boots and spend an adventurous day out on the Solway Coast Heritage Trail, boasting awe-inspiring views of unique wildlife throughout the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and a plethora of walking routes, cycling trails, and watersports opportunities.

The nearby village of Powfoot is just a short journey away where you'll find a beautiful sandy beach to explore, whilst the vibrant market town of Dumfries lies further afield, featuring a marvellous theatre, fine dining, and cultural attractions.

Venture further afield to the Roman city of Carlisle, or cross the Scottish Borders over to the Lake District National Park for a truly magical day out.

Make memories at 7 Cummertrees.

About the location

ANNAN

Dumfries 15.7 miles; Carlisle 20 miles

The town of Annan, a former harbour, lies on the banks of the River Annan, in East Dumfries and Galloway, and is steeped in history, with the area once the site of Roman camps and the workplace of the writer Thomas Carlyle. Each year, the town celebrates the Riding of the Marches, in honour of the Royal Charter bestowed by King James V, which involves parades, massed pipe bands and competitions. The area around Annan has many small towns, picture postcard villages and hamlets, plus beautiful unspoilt coastline, with sandy beaches and hidden coves. Visit nearby Caerlaverock Castle, one of Scotland's finest ruined castles or Annandale Distillery. Take a day trip and marvel at the majestic architecture of the grand abbeys of Melrose and Jedburgh or visit the northern Lake District and the historic Hadrian’s Wall. Annan is an ideal base for exploring this lovely area.
