Rigg is a quiet little village a stones throw away from the world famous Gretna Green. This ideal location is only minutes from the main A75 and M6, perfect for exploring the area. Gretna Green, one of the world’s most popular wedding destinations due to its romantic wedding traditions dating back to the 1700s, is well worth a visit. It is possibly the most romantic village in the UK and has become synonymous with romance and runaway couples. Marriage ceremonies are still performed over a blacksmith’s anvil and Gretna Green attracts thousands of couples from all around the world to be married each year. It is easy to overlook that there is more to this area than weddings. Ideally placed to not only explore Dumfries and Galloway, it is also within easy reach of the Scottish Borders, Hadrian’s Wall, the fells of the Lake District National Park and much more. During your stay at 5 Church Square you can also enjoy a day shopping at Gretna Green Outlet Village, and a must is a trip to the nearby Devil’s Porridge Museum, where you can learn the story of how this area flourished into a hub of wartime activity. The owner will also provide other information about the local area in the form of leaflets at the property. Shop, pub and restaurant 1½ miles.

Great find. Lovely clean and comfortable accommodation. Lovely welcome basket. Such a nice touch and milk in the fridge and tea and coffee supplied, very welcome after a long journey. Host George, was friendly and informative. We had a lovely time in lovely surroundings. Would definitely recommend. You will need a car to get around the local area as there are no shops or amenities in the local area. Shops and pub about 1-2 miles away. Some great museums to visit. Also, the Maltings Coffeeshop is definitely worth a visit. Thanks George for the recommendation.

Lovely weekend in Rigg which is a great base for the Eastern side of Dumfries and Galloway. Easy access to the A75 means it's ideal for anyone looking for things to see and do. Lovely property with one of the best welcomes we've had in Scotland! Owner was a mine of useful information and ideas about places to see which are a little off the beaten track. Highly recommend.
