View on Google MapsPhoto: Whitecroft Farm
The 7 Stanes mountain bike trails at Dalbeattie and Mabie Forest are minutes away, and Galloway Forest Park—one of the world's few Dark Sky Parks—lies within reach for stargazing or walking. Dumfries, 25 minutes south, draws those interested in Robert Burns heritage. From Myrtle Cottage itself, countryside and beach walks begin at the gate.
A converted stone barn with a modern larch extension, the cottage sits on a quiet working farm accessed via a private track. Both bedrooms have ensuite showers; a further shower room serves the living spaces. Ground-floor layout means no stairs. The kitchen is equipped for proper cooking—electric oven, dishwasher, microwave—and the sitting room has a wood burner, TV and CD player. Wifi, heating, electricity, bed linen and towels are included. One dog stays free, though the working farm means it should stay on a lead. The enclosed garden offers patio space and a barbecue. Parking for two cars is on-site. The property has a natural water supply and the surrounding grounds are uneven in places.

What guests say
Had a lovely stay at Whitecroft Farm Cottages. The area is peaceful and has beautiful views from the window. The cottage was spotlessly clean, light and airy and had everything we could need and more. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming and provided a really generous, delicious welcome basket. Loved the animals which Hilary and Mark were kind enough to show us and enjoyed feeding the highland cows. Our dog had a marvellous time in the fully enclosed garden and loved a play session with the resident dog, May. Mark is a super talented artist and I really enjoyed looking around his studio. Lots to see and do in the area and would love to return. Sally, Ed and Pumpkin

Visiting in February, we found Myrtle Cottage cosy, comfortable and well appointed. The cottage was as warm as the welcome, which included a delicious basket of goodies! The area is picturesque with many lovely places to visit within a 30 minute drive. Would definitely recommend this delightful spot.

Had a lovely week in March in Rose Cottage. It rained quite a bit (it was March in Scotland) but the cottage was a lovely space just to hang out and read and watch the birds. Also great coastal and forest walks. Hilary and Mark were welcoming hosts.
