Nith Villa

Dumfries sits at the centre of Dumfries and Galloway, surrounded by things worth doing. The riverside path along the Nith runs through Dock Park and down to Glencaple. Caerlaverock Wetland Centre, a 1400-acre reserve, is within reach for a day out. The Solway Coast offers sandy beaches and cliff-top walks. There are gardens to visit including the National Trust's Threave, plus sailing, swimming, horse riding, fishing, golf and water sports nearby.

Nith Villa is a ground-floor apartment just off the town centre. It has an open-plan living space with a dining area and sitting room, a kitchen fitted with an electric cooker and microwave, two bedrooms—one with a super kingsize bed, one with a kingsize—and a bathroom with a bath and walk-in shower. Wifi, electricity, bed linen and towels are included. There is a back garden with seating and garden furniture, and free parking at a public car park. The essentials for a self-catering stay are provided; heating is gas central. Smoking is not permitted.

Dumfries itself holds museums, the Camera Obscura, and the homes connected to Robert Burns and JM Barrie. Children's attractions include several farm parks and adventure playgrounds in the area. The town makes a practical base for exploring the region at all times of year.
