Woodsedge Kirkennan
Castle Douglas, Dumfries And Galloway, Scotland
Our 3 family & dog-friendly holiday cottages are set within the beautiful and peaceful Kirkennan Estate bordered by the tidal Urr Water, close to the Solway Coast; an ideal base for exploring the whole of Dumfries and Galloway in South West Scotland. The cottages provide comfortable accommodation within 35 acres of formal lawns, woodland and walled garden which guests are invited to enjoy - ideal for early morning wanders. Red squirrels, roe deer, a range of birds, bats, badgers and, if you are lucky, otters can all be been seen on the Estate.
Choose from wheelchair accessible Woodsedge Cottage (sleeps 5), The Lodge (sleeps 5 + 2) and The Mews (sleeps 4 + 1). Each cottage is well equipped for self-catering and has its garden area - those for The Lodge and Woodsedge are enclosed; paved private roads extend through the formal gardens of the Estate that are suitable and accessible for wheelchairs, pushchairs, young bike riders and mobility scooters (one is available for the use of guests). The cottages are dog friendly and we welcome up to 3 well-behaved dogs at no extra charge (they can be let off the lead in our 14 acre Jock’s Wood). Guests at all cottages have access to our EV Charging point.
