Arbigland Farm - Shore Cottage
Dumfries and Galloway
View on Google MapsPhoto: Arbigland Estate
Shore Cottage sits on Arbigland Farm, a working farm whose land runs down to the Solway coast. The beach is within a mile—close enough that sea views reach into the property itself. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms accommodate six people across a single ground floor, so no stairs to manage with luggage or small children. One dog can stay, though the working farm means it needs to be kept on a lead.
The living space spreads across a sitting room with an electric wood burner, a dining room with wooden flooring, and a kitchen equipped for proper cooking: oven, hob, dishwasher, microwave and the rest. Bedrooms contain a mix of single and kingsize beds. Both bathrooms have baths or showers. Heating, electricity, Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels are all included. There is parking for two cars on site.
The location suits families or groups wanting to combine a working farm setting with beach access. Nearby Beachcomber Escapes offers kayaking and other water activities, though simply walking out to the shoreline is the main draw here.

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!
