 Cutlar's Lodge, Orroland, Kirkcudbright, Galloway

Bedrooms: 3 - 1 double, 2 twins. Sleeps: 6. Short breaks available. Pets welcome.
A popular stone-built cottage set in its own attractive gardens in the heart of Orroland, a traditional lowland farm overlooking the Solway Firth. A pleasant walk from Orroland's private rocky shoreline and just a paddock away from the landscaped loch and pavilion. With its panoramic sea views and relaxing tranquility, Cutlar's Lodge has lots of charm. A holiday at Orroland is a unique experience - good for the soul! Few Scottish self-catering cottages can match it for privacy, atmosphere and dramatic location in unspoilt Galloway.

 Pavilion Cottage, Galloway House Estate, Garlieston
Dumfries and Galloway

Bedrooms: 4 - 1 double, 2 singles, 1 single with pull-out. Sleeps: 5/8. Wigtown. Pets welcome. Short breaks available.
A delightful self-catering cottage set in the walled garden of Garlieston House on the Galloway House Estate. The property is extremely well presented and has a swimming pool which makes it even more special. This is an ideal location for a holiday, being only one mile from the pubs and shops of Garlieston and just a five minute walk to a sandy beach. This is a charming area of Scotland, with golden beaches and beautiful scenery for all to enjoy, and the Galloway towns of Newton Stewart, Whithorn and Wigtown are well worth a visit.
