Field Cottage offers a quiet and peaceful break but is only just over a mile from Castle Douglas, Scotland’s food town, a delightful small market town with an array of independent shops selling produce and quality gifts.

Warmed by the Gulf Stream, there are many beautiful gardens to visit, including Threave Gardens, a National Trust property.

A wander round the lovely harbour town of Kirkcudbright is a must, where you can visit Broughton House, home of the artist E A Hornel, and stroll down to the harbour where you can watch the fishing boats returning.

We had a great stay at Field Cottage.
We had a great stay at Field Cottage. The location was perfect for exploring the area which we did despite the weather being somewhat wet! The cottage itself was clean and comfortable and the hosts were helpful and easily accessible if needed. We loved the peacefulness of the surroundings and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Field Cottage is spacious and very charming.
Field Cottage is spacious and very charming. The views from the front and the back of the property are wonderful. It's such a lovely place to stay in. Whilst the attractive towns of Castle Douglas and Dalbeattie are great to visit, the cottage is also an ideal base to visit Dhoon beach, Kirkcudbright, Wigtown, Carsethorn, Sandyhills, Kippford, Rockcliffe, Southerness, New Abbey, the Isle of Whithorn, Caerlaverock Castle and Drumlanrig Castle. The hosts are fab. They also very kindly left 'welcome gifts!' Thanks so much.
