Millbrook Cottage

About this property

Dalbeattie 6.7 miles. Settled right on the coast in the quaint village of Rockcliffe near the bustling Scottish town of Dalbeattie, Dumfries and Galloway is Millbrook Cottage. This charming, dog-friendly dwelling has been thoughtfully converted from an old mill and now benefits from a tranquil garden thanks to the flowing stream running through it and a welcoming interior boasting four well-appointed bedrooms; the perfect setting for families or friends looking to explore the wonders of Scotland. Cross the threshold where a fully-equipped kitchen/diner awaits; whip up a delicious meal and gather the family around the table to tuck in, be sure to raise a glass to your getaway! If the sun is shining, step outside to fire up the barbecue and indulge in an alfresco affair while the soothing trickle of the stream enhances the tranquil ambience. When the stars fill the sky, head inside to wash off the day’s adventure in the ground-floor bathroom before sloping off to sleep in one of four sumptuous bedrooms. Choose from a king-size with a handy en-suite shower, a ground-floor double, a ground-floor twin and another twin which completes the first floor. If you can tear yourself away from this stunning dwelling, spend days upon the golden shores of Rockcliffe beach where your beloved canine companion can roam freely while you admire the breath-taking views across the sea. Take a scenic drive to the town of Dalbeattie where you can pick up all the essentials for your self-catered stay before treating your loved ones to a delicious meal at pubs like The Kings Arms Hotel; the town also houses the Dalbeattie Museum Trust so be sure to brush up on the history of the local area. Other notable nearby attractions include the beautiful Threave Garden which lies in the grounds of an impressive Scottish baronial mansion, the Galloway Faerie Trail and Mabie Farm Park. Dumfries is also easily accessible; visit the former home of the famous Scottish poet, Robert Burns, tour Dumfries Museum or take a leisurely stroll through Castledyke Park. All this and more awaits at Millbrook Cottage. EPC Rating: Band D. Licence number: DG00208F
