About this apartment rental

Minimum stay three nights. The Flat at Glencaple offers very comfortable and cosy ground floor accommodation for two in the heart of the village. Built in the early 19th century, it has been renovated to a very high standard. Living room has a wood burning stove as well as efficient electric heating so you'll be warm and cosy. Lovely riverside views from the living room and bedroom. Free WiFi is available. Situated on the Burns and Solway Coast Heritage Trails it is only a few miles from the Wildfowl and Wetlands Reserve at Caerlaverock. In winter Barnacle geese fly past your window morning and evening and other geese, wildfowl and ducks can be seen on the river. Otters are often spotted nearby and in summertime porpoises and seals have been seen on the river. This area is a nature lover's paradise (BBC's "Autumn Watch" broadcast from here in 2015). Also well-placed for gentle walking, cycling, fishing, sightseeing and relaxing. Lovely beaches are only half an hour's drive away and Caerlaverock Castle is just up the road. Galloway Forest Park was the first Dark Sky Park in the UK - in winter it gets dark quite early so you could get there, star gaze, and back before it gets too late!

Glencaple has a very busy cafe and shop (The Boathouse), and popular hotel (The Nith) serving lunches and dinners all year round - both just around the corner from the Flat. Go to www.caerlaverock.org.uk for more information about the area. Dumfries has several excellent restaurants including Home (recently reviewed by Grace Dent in the Guardian) and The Globe, established in 1610 with Head Chef and Sous Chef having combined one and two star Michelin experience.

We enjoyed our stay in the little apartment. It was in a great location for exploring the local area. It was well stocked with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The only thing that let it down was that some of the crockery was quite worn & chipped. We had to wash it all before use as there were still remnants from previous guest's food which was disappointing.

10.0 / 10.0

Lovely location and awesome views. Property was very comfortable and cosy. We're allergic to feathers so Sue made sure there were no issues. She took great care to think of our wellbeing. We are an older couple so comfort and ease of getting around the flat are important to us. The flat was well equipped and tastefully decorated. Thanks fir a lovely stay.

Nice wee flat with bonus of having a sunny little garden at the back. Didn't need to use the burner at this time of year but bet it will make the place very cosy and snug in Winter.The bed felt very hard but was surprisingly comfortable!

We arrived at the cottage at the tail end of a 3 week trip in Scotland and I was coming down with an illness. But staying in the quiet and well appointed row house was the antidote I needed: super quiet; great kitchen, bed, and garden. We would absolutely book again. Caeleverlock Castle was fabulous.

We had the most beautiful stay in Sues flat! Location was so perfect, near the pub and the cafe, and walk out the door and there are stunning views all day, but amazing sunrises. Also only a short drive into Dumfries for any shopping. The flat was very spacious for the two of us and it had everything we needed! Thanks for having us Sue, will definitely recommend this place and be back again!

This is a lovely little cottage in a beautiful location. Everything is there that you need and it all works. How many cottages have we stayed in with no matches! Not that we needed them in this case, but it was good to see that there were 2 boxes there just in case.

We were looking for a place to stay to enable us to visit the South West Coast in Dumfries & Galloway and also visit friends in Langholm. The Flat was perfect. Great location, all the necessary facilities, cosy and comfy, we slept well and relaxed during our stay. Lots of storage, kitchen equipment and comfy sitting room and heating. We really enjoyed our stay!

We spent a thoroughly enjoyable four nights at the flat and wished it could have been longer. We particularly loved the views across the estuary and being able to sit in the lovely garden each morning to eat our breakfast. (Yes, it was sunny!) The flat was clean and comfortable, it contained everything we could need for an easy stay - all the usual things but also extras such as matches, pens and notepad, pegs for the washing line, books, simple medical kit, spare toiletries... Out and about we walked along the coast to Caerlaverock Castle, then caught the bus back, had coffee at the Boathouse, explored the vintage treasure trove (shop) across the road and also went into Dumfries, then down the opposite bank of the Nith to Sweetheart Abbey. All in all a relaxing and welcome break - it is easy to see why there are so many repeat bookings in the visitors book. Thank you!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Lovely cosy flat which contained everything we needed and set in a great location at Glencaple. Close to our relatives in Dumfries and lovely scenery around Caerlaverock and surrounds. Would definitely recommend it to any couple/single looking for accommodation just outside of Dumfries. Thanks Sue and Rob.

This property has everything you need. We wanted for nothing, beautiful scenery and walk right on the doorstep. The Nith Hotel does delicious meals and the staff and locals are really friendly when we went in for a drink. Coming back to the log fire was a treat. Lovely stay and i would highly recommend.

The cottage was in a great location close to the river Nith, very peaceful with a lovely walk along the riverbank (when the rain stopped!) The Nith Hotel on the corner was great value for excellent food and the Boathouse cafe restaurant across the road was lovely for a drink with great views. The cottage itself was perfect for 2 people. There was a spacious bedroom and reasonable sized sitting room and a small but well equipped kitchen. The unusual bathroom layout was fine and the shower was good and spacious. The bed was very comfortable although the sofa was a little old. The heating was easy to operate which we had to use as the weather wasn't great despite it being August. It was easy to access using the code provided. Dumfries was a short drive away for shopping/supermarkets.

This is a lovely holiday flat, which has a warm and welcoming quality and beautiful surroundings. It's also situated in an ideal place, as there's plenty to do within the immediate locality, and is also within a short driving distance from the beaches and other places of interest.
