View on Google MapsPhoto: Arbigland Estate
Arbigland Farm's Arthurs Cottage is a stone-built house on the Arbigland Estate near Dumfries, a working farm where one dog is welcome (kept on lead). The layout spreads across two floors: ground floor has an open-plan living and dining space, a kitchen equipped for proper cooking, and a conservatory, plus a kingsize bedroom with ensuite shower. Upstairs are two further bedrooms—one with a double bed, one with singles—each with their own bathroom and shower. Three bathrooms in total means no queuing in the morning.
The kitchen comes with an electric hob and oven, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and microwave. Central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are all included. A welcome pack awaits, and outside there is garden furniture, a barbecue and parking for two cars. A travel cot, highchair and fireguard are available if needed. The cottage is no-smoking throughout.
The setting is rural and quiet, within walking distance of Powillimount beach on the Solway Firth coast. This is genuine countryside rather than a manicured attraction—fields surround the property, and the quiet suits those after a proper break from routine. The location also puts you near cycling and walking routes through Dumfries and Galloway.

Where do I begin? To say that shore cottage did not match our expectations would be a gross understatement!!! The place smelled awful and we were grateful to our son who arrived before us and asked us to buy air fresheners from Dumfries before we arrived. The place is run down and unkempt, windows cracked and rotting, pictures taken. Dead insect in kitchen cupboard. Old chipped crockery, dirty drapes. Old microwave with paint flaking off. Access to beach via a steep dangerous unmaintained path. We’ve rented numerous cottages throughout Scotland, this was the worst we have encountered by some considerable distance. We stayed one night and then left.

Spent a week at Shore Cottage on the Arbigland Estate in April 2018 . Comfortable accommodation in a wonderful spot and sensational views. Definitely recommended.

Fantastic getaway in a perfect location to see what Dumfries and Galloway has to offer. We stayed in the Lapwing Lodge. The lodge was cosy, light and big. The heating worked a treat but having the log burner on in the evenings was a true luxury. It had everything we needed and looked onto the beautiful hills in the distance. The lodge itself is right next to the beach and we spent hours looking for the fossils and playing with my 9yr old and dog. There are lots of walks around the estate and a 2 minute walk around the beach is a fantastic pub serving great food all day. The owner, Jamie, was incredibly helpful so our stay went without hitch. We were sad to leave and we will be back again!
