Accessed along a private drive, and adjoining a cluster of well-maintained estate buildings, Stable Cottage (ref UUD) makes a romantic hideaway for two, offering stylishly furnished accommodation – its walls adorned with the original work of various Scottish artists. The larger Victorian detached Gardener’s Cottage (ref UXT) has been elegantly furnished, and features an attractive shared garden with a bridge over a burn and a small waterfall. Arkland Mill (ref sttz) stands detached with a lovely large garden, a summerhouse and its own bridge over the stream. Marwhin House (swwr) and Marwhin Cottage (ref swws) also stand detached, situated within 25 yards of each other, still with there own privacy, the latter two properties being set in gardens with a delightful stream and pond.

Castle Douglas (8 miles) is a traditional market town with individual shops specialising in food and local produce. There are many beautiful beaches within easy reach along the Solway, and the National Trust Threave Gardens, 8 miles, makes for an interesting day out.

Arkland Mill is a warm cosy cottage in a rural setting set next to a stream. It is well equipped and ideal for spending time staying in watching the wildlife or exploring the amazing Dumfries and Galloway coast.. There is plenty to do and see from gardens, walks, historic buildings/monuments, beaches and quaint towns/villages. A short drive away provides access to an array of shops and supermarkets.Margaret the housekeeper is friendly and helpful. Enjoy we did.
