  • "We had fabulous weather and really enjoyed our break."

    Visiting the Bainlock Deer Park at Sandyhills was a highlight taking the 4x4 tour with another couple we met there. Top tip-you need what 3 words to find it! Being so close to 5-600 deer was amazing & the cafe was tasty too. We also enjoyed visiting Grey Mare's Tail waterfall with the picturesque scenery on the Moffat to Selkirk Road, Drumlanrig Castle Gardens, Threave Gardens & Nature Reserve, the circular Kippford to Rockcliffe walk, Dalbeattie Town Forest walk with the suprise Loch. Another hidden gem for lunch near Castle Douglas was Ernespie Farm Cafe with super quality food and yummy gelato made on the farm. A packed yet very enjoyable week.

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 three pubs, two village stores, a leisure centre with a pool at Parkdean 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.
