Home description
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 South/Borders region
Warmed by the Gulf Stream, this area enjoys a mild climate all year round. There is much of historical interest here with links with 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 his home in Dumfries is a well preserved visitor centre.
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.
Dumfries and Galloway / 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 and swimming pools in nearby Kirkcudbright, Castle Douglas and Dumfries.
Throughout the year there are various festivals including The Wickerman Festival in July, The Spring Fling Art Festival in May, Gael Force from late August to early November and enough musical concerts and festivals to satisfy every taste.
