Cosy cottage located just 3.5 miles from the town of Lockerbie, where you will find pubs, cafes and some independent shops to browse, and located 15 miles from Moffat. This property offers a fabulous rural setting with wildlife and birds galore. You are within 15 miles of the Solway Firth with its 200 miles of unspoilt sandy beaches and wildlife. The immediate area has lots of walks and cycling routes so you can explore the beautiful countryside. Other local attractions include Caerlaverock, Threave and Drumlanrig Castles, Robert Burns' House and the Aviation Museum, all within 36 miles. You can enjoy sailing and kayaking in nearby Lochmaben on Castle Loch (6.5 miles). This pretty, semi-detached cottage is bright and spacious with stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

As you walk into the cottage, you will find yourself in the open-plan lounge/diner which is separated from the kitchen with glass bi-folding doors, allowing you to open up the whole space to enjoy catching up together with family or friends. The lounge has a cosy wood burner, inviting you to curl up and watch a movie on the Smart TV or relax with a good book. Off the lounge you will find two bedrooms, the first is a pretty twin overlooking the garden and the second is a double with a feature stone fireplace. There is also a small utility area off the lounge where you will find a handy washing machine; this room leads through to a shower room. The contemporary kitchen overlooks the garden and hills in the distance. It is well equipped and has a breakfast bar area where you can enjoy a morning coffee and make plans for the day ahead. Off the kitchen, there is a useful porch area which is ideal for storing muddy boots and wet coats. Head up the spiral staircase to the first floor. Here, there is a lovely double bedroom and a stylish bathroom adjacent which has a lovely free-standing bath, the perfect place to relax after a busy day exploring.

Outside you will find an enclosed, lawned garden with pretty pine trees, seating and fabulous views across the hills and rolling countryside.

We had a wonderful week at Kite cottage. The surrounding area and views were stunning. Washing up was a delight, looking out of the kitchen window to see the beautiful scenery and wildlife. The bedrooms were well fitted out and comfortable. The information provided by the owners meant that even on rainy days we had ideas for places to visit. The gaRead morerden is totally enclosed so safe for our dog to enjoy the freedom to explore. We thoroughly recommend a visit. Hide

Lovely cottage in a remote location that was perfect for a family break. Cottage had everything we could ask for to enjoy the break and the rural location was great for the getting out long walks with the dogs with very little traffic. Will definitely go back.

One of the best holiday properties we have stayed in for a long time. A great location to explore the beautiful countryside of this part of southern Scotland. Good layout to the property with good facilities and a friendly and warm welcome. Cottage is well located and easy to find but remains fairly secluded. Excellent views from the cottage and gaRead morerden (we were lucky with excellent weather for the whole week). Overall a great place to stay. Hide

Lovely cottage a little out the way of anything but if that's what you want it's great could do with being able to manually override the heating to dry clothes there is a heated towel rail but struggled to dry everything on it but lovely cottage.

We had a wonderful week long stay at Kites cottage. The cottage had plenty of room for our family consisting of four adults, two children and our standard poodle Otis. The homemade bread, jam and butter was a lovely surprise on arrival and the cottage was well equipped for our stay. The location of Kite's cottage was peaceful and truly beautiful. WRead moree would not hesitate to stay here again and to recommend it to friends and family wanting to holiday in the area. Hide

Cottage itself is very nice but a bit in the middle of nowhere. The 3/4 mile single track up to it is treacherous , huge potholes and fingers crossed you dont meet something coming the other way.
