About the home

With beautiful views over the river estuary, Gilnockie is a newly built, luxury log cabin situated on the outskirts of the very popular sailing village of Kippford. There are two pubs in the village serving good food as well as a small shop open in season and 3 miles away Dalbeattie provides more general shopping.

The 7 Stanes cycling trails is even closer and there is a most attractive 9 hole golf course within walking distance of the chalet with the championship course at Southerness just round the coast. There are sandy beaches and forest trails to explore and also many lovely gardens nearby for those seeking a slower pace of recreation.

The open plan layout of the large reception area is ideal for a relaxing holiday mood and there are balconies and a gravel garden perfect for al fresco dining or just watching the sun go down over the hills while making plans for tomorrow. With 3 bedrooms ( master with luxury en suite bathroom) and a study with double sofa bed, the house is ideal for families or groups alike.

The Dumfries and Galloway region

Warmed by the Gulf Stream, this area enjoys a mild climate all year round. There is much of historical interest here with links to St. Cuthbert and St. Ninian as well as Robert the Bruce and the Border Reivers. Robert Burns wrote much of his best works here and there is a wonderful new visitor centre in his home town of Dumfries.

The particular quality of light brought many well known artists to the region and nearby Kirkcudbright is a mecca for those interested in art and painting. Further afield is Wigtown, Scotland's official Book Town where a treasure trove of books on every subject awaits. There are many well known Gardens in the area including Threave, Port Logan and Castle Kennedy.

The Colvend Coast area

There is a tremendous range of activities here for the visitor. Golf courses, sailing, horseriding, cycling, walking and fishing are all available close by and there are tennis courts and swimming pools in nearby Kirkcudbright, Castle Douglas and Dumfries. Loch Ken provides a range of watersports and the nearby sandy beaches offer amusement for the youngsters and the young at heart.

Throughout the year there are various festivals including The Wickerman Festival in July, The Spring Fling Art Festival in May, The Kirkcudbright Jazz Festival in June, Gael Force (World Music Festival) from late August to early November and enough musical concerts and festivals to satisfy every taste.
