Brae Cottage

Brae Cottage is a detached cottage near Dumfries, surrounded by enclosed gardens with countryside views. Ground-floor living means all three bedrooms, the bathroom and main rooms are on one level. The property sleeps up to six: one kingsize bed, one double, and two singles. There's a separate living room with a wood-burning fire and a dining room for meals together. The kitchen has an electric cooker and washing machine, so you can prepare proper food and handle laundry during your stay. An enclosed garden with patio and seating looks out towards open fields; there's also secure parking for up to four cars and a bike store.

One well-behaved dog can stay free of charge. The property suits families who want space to spread out, couples looking for a quiet base, or small groups sharing a whole cottage to themselves. Wi-Fi, heating, bed linen and towels are included. The location works well for exploring on foot: Mabie Forest is within walking distance and has a network of trails, plus there's a butterfly reserve nearby. Mabie Farm Park is close by, where children can feed animals and see alpacas and Belted Galloways. Wider Dumfries and Galloway offers castle visits, botanic gardens, quiet beaches and cliff walks along the coast.
