About this property

This comfortable cottage, situated in lovely countryside and surrounded by fields, is within very easy access of the M74. It is an excellent centre for exploring either the shore (About 9 miles to the Solway Firth) or the hills. There are a number of activities in the area including fishing, bird watching, Quad biking and golf. While there is plenty to do locally those wishing to travel further afield can use it as a base for day trips to Galloway in the West or the Scottish Borders to the East. It is very convenient for Carlisle (with easy access from there to the Lake District) and is within 2 hours of Edinburgh and Glasgow.

We are fairly open to bookings that are not 7 day so please ask If you are confused about the booking method or prices.

Sorry, no smoking and no pets.

Great option near the Scottish Borders

Bonshawbrae is a lovely clean accommodation. Very comfortable with everything you could need. Good WiFi reception in the kitchen and living room but we didn't need it as we enjoyed the tranquillity away from the hustle and bustle of London very much. First time visiting this region - there is easy access from the M74 and 10 min by car from Tesco Superstore in Annan. Ideal for visiting Galloway Forest Park, this is also Scotland’s first Dark Sky Park – one of the best places to stargaze in Europe. Would very much love to return. Thank you.

Family holiday 2021

This is a fantastic little cottage surrounded by fields. Very peaceful and scenic. Has everything you could need for the perfect stay. Our only issue was the double bed was very hard but we survived it!! Booking and communication were both effortless. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Remote cottage

Needed accommodation as was working nights at Gretna. This cottage was absolutely perfect. No traffic noise as we slept during the day. Lovely area with views to open countryside. Owner was very helpful to, firstly allowing all male group in his property, secondly, answered all questions within minutes and lastly, a perfect host. This cottage was lovely with everything a family or group could need. Exceptionally clean and at a cost that seems unbelievably cheap. If anyone is looking for a lovely cottage, close to gretna/Carlisle, in the countryside away from noise, but close enough for motorway and shopping, then this is the ideal place for you. Can’t praise this home enough and will almost certainly be back. Jim Falkirk.

Lovely

We had a lovely break staying a few days in the cottage. The place is very welcoming with everything you need. Just what we needed to unwind. I loved that it felt quite secluded and waking up looking out the window to fields. We spent a good bit of time outdoors but loved coming back to the cottage to relax. Thanks

very nice

even though we only were there for a couple of days, we were pleasantly surprised by the very nice spot of the house. Even though you have the idea that you are completely isoltaed it is very close to the town of Kittlebridge and also Lockerbie is very close by. ThYou canb do a lot of pleasant things in the neighbourhood, especially the coast to the south is worth exploring. The house was very clean and comfortable and the contact with the owner very pleasant.

Piacevole soggiorno a Lockerbie

Il sud Scozia è forse meno noto del nord, ma è ugualmente bello e ricco. Il cottage è veramente carino, in mezzo alle colline, circondato da campi con mucche al pascolo. Insomma molto tranquillo e piacevole

Wonderful base

I stayed here with my 2 granddaughters (aged 10 and 5), wonderful location, with everything provided. Ideal for visiting our extended family in Gretna area. We also went to the museum in Dalbeattie, volunteers there made our visit so special, before having lunch in De-Cafe cafe in Dalbeattie, we traveled onto Kippford beach which is like no other beach it is full of shells! Our next day, was spent at Mabie farm, a wonderful petting farm, with lots of play areas for all ages. Before visiting relatives in Gretna. Today we travelled home, but not before visiting Robert Bruce cave, very short visit this time but hope to visit again soon.
