About this property
Gretna Green 6.4 miles. Resting rurally in Canonbie, near the amenities of Gretna Green in Dumfries and Galloway is Bogire Country Cottage, a delightful, single-storey dwelling. Enjoying countryside views and a pretty garden with an abundance of plants for wildlife, including bees and butterflies, housing a wood-fired hot tub, pizza oven, summerhouse and a herb garden, the cottage makes a wonderful escape for a family of four, also offering a well-equipped kitchen, and flexible sleeping arrangements. Travel down to the country track and park up off-road before stepping indoors to your new home-from-home. Be welcomed into the contemporary living/dining room, with a plush velvet corner sofa, dining for four, a woodburning stove, and a Smart TV for entertainment. Continue into the kitchen to prepare meals, and fulfil your self-catering needs, before setting the patio table and enjoying an alfresco affair whilst surrounded by nature; spend the rest of your evening soaking in the wood-fired hot tub, before completing your nightly routine in the bathroom. Catch some rest in one of two bedrooms, including a king-size and a twin, before awakening to a hands-on experience on the neighbouring farm. Once you're ready to explore, head into Gretna Green for your amenities, where you'll find a selection of shops and pubs to ease your stay, whilst the Kielder Water & Forest Park rests north of the village, recommended to pack your walking boots for. Netherby Hall and its grand Grade II listed grounds rests a short car journey away, worth touring for its beauty and heritage, before crossing the English Border to tour Carlisle and its hub of amenities; be sure to discover Carlisle Castle, Carlisle Cathedral, River Eden, and the Tullie Museum whilst visiting. Round off your break at the shore, discovering the sweeping terrain of the Solway Coast AONB, before making your way back home for a home-made pizza. Enjoy a rural haven at Bogire Country Cottage. EPC Rating: Band F.
This charming community, which is located in southwest Scotland and is just across the border from England, is well-known for being the setting for runaway marriages and has appeared in a number of well-known movies and TV shows over the years. While close to the well-stocked town of Gretna, the village itself only has a limited number of services, such as a restaurant and a few lodging options and bars. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the location is fantastic. On the other side of the River Esk, you'll find the gorgeous Solway Firth and the Solway Coast aonb, which will keep you busy. In addition to the attractive Scottish cities of Dumfries, Lockerbie, and Langholm, you may cross into England and discover the lovely county of Cumbria, which offers excellent locations like Carlisle and Brampton.

It was very comfortable, providing everything you could possibly need. It is set in a beautiful, peaceful spot within easy reach of Canonbie and Langholm. So relaxing and cosy.
