Bracken Cottage (Colvend)

Overview

This beautiful white-washed cottage is an ideal countryside retreat. Unwind with leisurely walks on the nearby beach or through the forest and view some of the region's finest wildlife close at hand. Offering comfort and flexibility, the cottage is a real home-from-home and enjoys the characteristics of a charming and traditional retreat with modern appliances and stylish furnishings. The accommodation comprises of two spacious double bedrooms with plenty of storage space, a contemporary bathroom and shower room, an exceptional fully fitted kitchen with cooker, microwave, fridge, freezer, washing machine and dishwasher, and a relaxing lounge and dining room which leads onto a peaceful patio area.

Enjoy some of the region's glorious sandy beaches which are within walking distance and fish for trout on your own loch. Stabling and grazing are available if you want to bring your own horse or if you would prefer to book a lesson at the local riding school, it's only five minutes away. Just round the corner, you'll find fantastic golf at Colvend, a popular 18-hole course, which is challenging and offers fantastic views, while another three courses are within half an hour travelling time. Situated on the coast, Bracken Cottage has the advantage of being in the countryside but close to nearby towns - Dalbeattie and its magnificent forest is just 5 miles away and historic Dumfries is only 18 miles.
