Driftwood is a detached beach house built at ground level, positioned directly above the shoreline with immediate access to sand from the garden. The design places you steps from the water, and the main living spaces open onto a patio that faces the sea. Four bedrooms accommodate up to 10 guests: a super king, two kings with patio access, and a fourth with zip-and-link beds and a pull-down bunk. Three bathrooms include two with walk-in showers and one bath with overhead shower. The open-plan living area has large windows framing coastal views, a multi-fuel burner, and a kitchen equipped for self-catering. A utility room houses a washer and dryer. Essentials including electricity, bed linen, towels and wifi are provided, along with initial fuel for the burner.
The house suits families and groups of friends seeking a seaside base. One well-behaved dog is welcome. A lawned garden with patio furniture and barbecue overlooks the beach, and there is parking for four cars on site. Southerness Lighthouse lies nearby. The property is not suitable for smoking, and wheelchair users will find level access throughout. Check-in is after 17:00 and checkout before 10:00.

A wonderful spot. Gorgeous rooms and communal areas. We had a fantastic week there and would definitely stay again.

We stayed from the 10th-17th August and absolutely LOVED it! Beautiful surroundings and an amazing view from every window (especially from the kitchen, living room and two sea facing bedrooms) It's kitted out with everything you'd need for your holiday. Even has a little beach hut full of things for the kids to use on the beach (fishing nets, inflatable boat, balls, mini golf set) it has a lovely fire pit in the garden for the cooler nights and supply of wood to burn. We could not be happier with our visit and the owners were ever so nice and chatty. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will certainly be going back.

Driftwood is so magical!! We have only been home for 1week and yet we miss it so much. Waking up to those lovely sea views and fresh air is truly wonderful. This was our second stay at this beachside bungalow and we loved it so much. The kids had a great time crabbing and generally playing around. The dog was absolutely exhausted by the end of our stay. This was the first time she had experienced such freedom of sand and sea. Has before the bungalow was well equipped and added to our enjoyment of a wonderful position on the Solway Firth. Many thanks to our lovely hosts Paul and Linda, “We’ll be back”

Remote location means getting supplies is difficult or impossible if the local shop has shut as the nearest shop after that is 30mins drive away. The house itself is very cosy and well furnished, lovely views, beach is ok, owners are very friendly.
