About this property
Bracken Holiday Cottage is a roomy, detached cottage based on the owner's livestock farm, in between the lovely Scottish town of Dalbeattie and the coast at Sandyhills. Boasting a charming and high-quality interior and with excellent outdoor opportunities from your doorstep, make this your base for a wonderful rural retreat. Step into this whitewashed property and head left into a light and airy kitchen/diner; it comes very well-equipped with appliances of the highest quality, also providing a lovely wooden dining table and a leather sofa so you can sit and relax while your meals simmer away. To the other side of the hallway, you will find a beautiful king-size bedroom sat adjacent to an attractive white and blue shower room. The second king-size room can be found on the first floor, boasting a wonderful wooden sleigh bed. Also up here lies an exquisite family bathroom, attractively tiled and featuring an elegant roll-top bath. Completing the accommodation is a delightful dual-aspect sitting room that benefits from a Sky TV and an electric fire; reflect on the day's adventures in comfort while watching a favourite film. Spacious grounds surround Bracken Holiday Cottage; appreciate the idyllic rural views while sipping an ice cold drink on the patio.

Like another person said would have been nice to have a small starter pack milk, tea, coffee most places we have stayed there is always milk in the fridge. There is so much to do and see in this area, Dalbeattie has plenty of shops and a few pubs and restaurants.

And a few more basics like tea towels /and enough washing up liquid to last the stay /salt+pepper etc .It makes the first night easier and avoids an early morning search for the shops .
