Powfoot Holiday Cottages |
|
| Property: 3870 | Dumfries and Galloway |
|
|
Both properties are directly on the sea front, and have uninterrupted coastal views, as well as offering very stylish holiday accommodation.
There is a small local park, and good pub food is only 5 minutes walk away! The area has many attractions, including golf, a newly opened Spa, horse/pony riding on the beach, cycling, bird watching and walking. An excellent links golf course is only a stroll from either cottage. However you prefer to relax, there is something here for you.
The warmer West Coast climate makes the local beaches and countryside very pleasant all year round; there are wonderful local walks to take in the rich variety of wildlife including the rare Natterjack toad. Powfoot is on, and therefore an ideal base for, the Galloway Tourist Route, Solway Coast Heritage Trail, an incredible coastal drive which takes you on quiet roads to an abundance of castles and abbeys of amazing beauty and interest, and the Robbie Burns Trail.
The Sustrans Cycleway passes through nearby Annan with its red sandstone buildings and distinctive clocktower, over the purpose-built river bridge, this being excellent for cyclists both experienced and new.
There are lots of local places of interest to visit, ranging from potteries, Hadrian's Wall, the Lake District, ice cream factories, activity centres and farms, castles and picturesque towns and villages to museums and art galleries (e.g. Edward Atkinson Hornell's Broughton House, studio and incredible Japanese garden in Kirkcudbright.)
Local events and festivals take place every year.
"Bella Vista" forms part of an Historic Scotland Category-B listed terrace, and was built in 1898 overlooking the bowling green and pavilion (now a park). It sleeps up to 5 (7 by arrangement) and is furnished in a contemporary style with original features and open fires.
"The Old Post Office" was once the village shop and post office, and now offers modern and stylish accommodation for up to 6 or 7 people. Recently re-fitted to a high standard with a stylish seaside theme, the property is but a few steps from the beach with open views, and 1 well-behaved pet is welcome.
