Settled near the coast in Southerness is this lovely, whitewashed bungalow, Drystanes. Boasting easy access to the historic towns within Dumfries and Galloway, and overlooking the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this fabulous home-from-home sleeps up to seven (with the addition of a double sofa bed), plus two furry friends. After parking in the two handy off-road spaces, venture inside to be taken in by a deceptively spacious interior that has been adorned with tasteful furnishings. Make your way into the contemporary kitchen to fix up a tasty meal with its ample appliances, including a fridge, freezer and washing machine. When dinner is ready, gather your group around the table in the dining/games room and savour dinner as you crack open a bottle of wine; why not enjoy a game of pool after eating? Continue to the sitting room unwinding on the spacious, suede-style sofa in front of the large TV, where you can finish off the day with a movie night. When night falls, head to bed in a stylish double, a space showcasing yellow accents and a sleek, panelled wall; the little ones can rest their heads in the fantastic double bunk bed with single over. Both bedrooms share access to a lovely shower room, where you can freshen up in the morning after a well-deserved rest. The back garden showcases a lawned space that is ideal for your furry friends to run free, along with a child’s play area and a quaint seating area. Find three dog friendly pubs – The Paul Jones, The 19th Hole and the Mermaid Bar – all within a five minute walk of the property. Drystanes also benefits from being close to two fantastic beaches, Powillimount and Southerness, along with a golf club and the vast RSPB Mersehead nature reserve; additionally, you can find the Coast Bar & Restaurant and well-stocked convenience store that are perfect for your self-catering needs. Venture to Dalbeattie and embark on a trek through the vast Dalbeattie Forest Town Wood, enjoy exhilarating mountain biking at 7Stanes, before relishing a relaxing picnic at Colliston Park. Travel to Dumfries, stopping at the delightful Mabie Farm Park along the way, before enjoying a historical outing at the Dumfries Museum, Robert Burns Centre and Gracefield Arts Centre; for more fun with the kids, be sure to visit the close-by Dalscone Farm Fun attraction! Castle Douglas is also a great outing for the family and explore the breath-taking Threave Castle, walk your furry friends around Carlingwark Loch, before visiting the stunning Threave House & Garden for an idyllic afternoon. Make the most of the area and wander into Galloway Forest Park for days filled with nature-rich activities, or continue along the coast to discover the picturesque villages of Kippford and Palnackie for more beachfront fun. Create everlasting memories with your family in this beautiful part of Scotland from Drystanes. EPC Rating: Band E
