About this cottage rental

Spacious coastal cottage with great character and no neighbours. Abbotsway is very private, with its own secluded and fully-enclosed courtyard and a pretty garden with sturdy wooden furniture and a barbecue. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, Wi-Fi, wood burner and its own games room. Historic harbour town of Kirkcudbright 9 miles, bustling market town of Castle Douglas 12 miles.

Abbotsway is a traditional stone-built cottage at the head of a wooded valley on Orroland Estate which rolls from the hills all the way down to the shore. Housing a loch, wildflower meadow, sculptured gardens, towering woodlands and unspoilt grassy fields; Orroland has all the best of its surrounding beauty in one place. During a stay here, it will feel like you are only sharing the views with the local wildlife and most of the time, you are.

The first thing you'll notice is the space. With roomy accommodation in two separate wings the house is ideal for families with children or for two couples sharing. Abbotsway comfortably houses 5 guests in a double, single and twin room. There is a shower room and a bathroom, one in each wing.

A modern kitchen/diner in keeping with the traditional styling of the house is adjacent to a spacious sitting room with cosy wood burner and large bay window ideal for watching wildlife.

An excellent games room provides table tennis, pool table and smart TV. You can enjoy free super-fast fibre wifi throughout the property.

The accommodation is all on ground level with occasional steps. It is a pleasant walk (or drive) from the cottage to Orroland's private landscaped loch and picnic pavilion. You can also walk (or drive part of the way) to Orroland Bay, an attractive beach with pebbles and large flat rocks ideal for making a base on and lots of rock pools to explore.

Extensive parking at the cottage with a dedicated EV charger with no additional charges.

Awarded a 5-Star grading following an independent inspection by the AA.
