About the host
Hosted by The Owner/Property Manager
We are a family of three, and we live in the main house. We have lived and worked around the world with major corporations, and decided recently to move to the South West of Scotland for a different, more relaxed way of life. Our daughter goes to the local school, and we run online businesses from the house (as well as sneak off to the sea side as often as we can, and go out on our little sea boat for fish and lobsters). We have been here for over two years now and love every minute of it, especially the incredible sun sets and wildlife we have a chance to see.
Why they chose this property
The views from the windows were stunning, and the history of the house is incredible. Built as a Duchy house and originally with over 400 acres (it now has only 19 acres remaining!) it looks really unique. We have since discovered that it is possible that Tennyson and Darwin may well have stayed here along with members of the Carlyle family so it is a house with a long history which we have enjoyed discovering. Best of all we can be at a beach with 4 or 5 minutes which is fantastic, and we really love to go to the cafes in Kirkcudbright and watch the fisherman go about their business.
What makes this property unique
It has to be the beaches and the very friendly local people. Everyone says hello and its a part of the world where everyone smiles, it must be the sea air!. There is a huge amount to do locally with kids- lagoon outdoor, forests, Cocoa Bean factory, Loch Ken outdoor centre and much more plus loads of restaurants and a bustling local art scene.
