Description

Nestled in the peaceful coastal village of Southerness, Swallow Cottage offers a stylish single storey escape just moments from the golden sands of Southerness Beach and a short distance from the incredible RSPB Mersehead Nature Reserve. With enclosed gardens, modern interiors and a relaxed coastal feel, it’s the perfect retreat for couples or families looking to unwind by the sea.

The cottage welcomes you into a contemporary dining room with rustic wooden touches, flowing into a well equipped kitchen. Large patio doors open onto the generous garden, inviting guests to enjoy alfresco meals and long summer evenings outdoors.

After a day exploring the coast, settle into the cosy sitting room for a film night, or retreat to the bright conservatory snug—an ideal spot for reading, morning coffee or simply enjoying the garden views. A sleek shower room and two comfortable bedrooms (a double and a twin) complete the accommodation.

Southerness offers a friendly selection of pubs, cafés and restaurants, along with scenic coastal walks, the historic lighthouse and the popular golf club. Guests can explore nearby beaches such as Powillimount, discover local wildlife at Mersehead, or enjoy day trips to Dumfries, Caerlaverock Castle and the Galloway Forest Park.

Whether you’re here for beach walks, birdwatching, or simply relaxing in a peaceful coastal setting, Swallow Cottage provides the perfect base for your Dumfries & Galloway adventure.

The accommodation was very bright and open.

Blinds would be ideal as it was maybe too open at night time. The property was clean and fresh. The hosts were lovely and friendly and welcoming. The property is in need of some TLC. Private driveway is good and although we didn’t have any dog, the large space gardens would be ideal for them. The listing does say pets - No, so may need updated. The cottage is positioned great to the local shop, pub and beach and not too far away.

We have a lovely stay and the host was very helpful with information of the local area.

The property is situated in a perfect location close to the beach, shop and pubs. Would recommend.
