Pass the Keys | Beautiful 4BR Cottage in Stunning Rural Location
Let the stresses of everyday life drift away as you experience 'cottage life' in the most beautiful rural location.
Surrounded by the stunning Scottish countryside our gorgeous cottage has 4 beautifully presented bedrooms, sitting room with log burner, snug and spacious cottage kitchen.
Packed with nooks and crannies, enjoy a cosy morning coffee in the reading nook or catch up on emails at the dedicated work desk.
Enjoy long walks or cycling directly from the door!
Furry friends welcome.
The space
Arrive at The Steading to find enough parking for up to 3 cars on the driveway of the cottage. You will then be greeted by a charming, large lawned garden and patio.
GROUND FLOOR
SITTING ROOM:- Enter the cottage to the gorgeous sitting room with comfortable sofas, TV and cosy log burner. During cooler months this is the perfect place to enjoy an evening glass of wine of nip of Whisky next to the roaring fire after a full day exploring everything our beautiful region has to offer.
In warm summer months the room is light and bright with a cooling breeze from the door leading directly out to the patio area.
KITCHEN:- The cottage kitchen is a wonderful space for family or friends to gather at the large rustic table.
Fully equipped with American style refrigerator, range oven and with plenty of space to prepare anything from a light lunch to a full evening meal, even the most demanding chefs will find everything they need!
SNUG:- The cosy snug provides an additional area for watching TV or family games night and with the DVD player a great place to catch up on your go to DVDs.
2 large comfortable sofas make this an ideal spot to escape the hustle and bustle of the cottage to catch up with a good book or your favorite TV show.
BATHROOM:- The downstairs bathroom benefits from a bath with overhead shower, WC and basin and saves tired legs from trips upstairs!
BEDROOM 4:- A charming room with single bed, storage and lovely view over the garden.
FIRST FLOOR
BEDROOM 1 (Family room):- Light, bright, and beautifully presented this spacious bedroom boasts a super comfortable king size bed and single bed, the room is big enough to accommodate the additional 'trundle' bed, a handy addition and is easily located under the single bed when needed.
BEDROOM 2:- Again with a fabulous king size bed, this bedroom is truly charming, with views across the countryside to wake up to every morning, this lovely room truly is good for the soul!
BEDROOM 3:- A single bedroom, beautifully decorated with storage.
BATHROOM:- The second bathroom in the cottage, again with a bath and over bath shower, WC and basin, tastefully decorated with a cottage feel.
READING NOOK:- The perfect spot to catch up with a good book, glass of wine or morning coffee, a comfortable armchair and well stocked bookcase mean that precious 'me' time is always within reach.
WORK AREA:- A dedicated desk for working means that catching up on important emails or working from home is easily achievable.
THE AREA
The cottage is ideally located in Haugh of Urr, an ideal base to explore all that the stunning region of Dumfries & Galloway has to offer.
In the village itself, The Laurie Arms, an award winning local pub, serves fantastic meals and is a short drive from the cottage and a brisk 15 minute walk.
The town of Dalbeattie is only 6 minutes drive from Haugh of Urr, here you will find supermarkets, restaurants, cafe's and a selection of independently run shops.
Castle Douglas (known as the regions 'food town') is a short 9 minute drive, again with independent shops, wonderful restaurants and Tesco supermarket. And with an artisan bakery, 3 award winning butchers, a craft beer shop, a choclatier and an Ice Cream and Confectioners you'll quickly discover how it has earned it's food town status.
The wonderful Solway Coast (often referred to as the Scottish Riviera), is just a short 12 minute drive from the cottage, with beautiful harbor villages such as Kippford and the stunning sandy beach of Sandy Hills it is truly a fantastic place to spend long warm days (we get more in Scotland than you may think!).
