Brae Cottage was refurbished in 2018 and has a comfortable living room and a separate dining room, perfect for enjoying leisurely meals. If the weather is fine, enjoy breakfast outside whilst taking in the scenery and perhaps the odd red squirrel or two!
This is the ideal location from which to enjoy a variety of activities all within walking distance. Set in Mabie Forest, you can enjoy the many and varied walking trails and some of the world-class 7stanes mountain biking trails. There is even a butterfly reserve! There is also so much open space for the kids to run around in, as well as an adventure playground. A must for the kids too is a visit to Mabie Farm Park, which is nestled just below the forest, where you can feed the animals and see the Belted Galloways, alpaca, llamas and much much more. It will certainly keep you entertained all day.
Further afield, this area of south west Scotland has so much more to offer, from quiet sandy coves and cliff top walks, to castles like Caerlaverock and Drumlanrig. Warmed by the Gulf Stream, the area has many beautiful gardens to visit, including Threave Gardens (National Trust) and Logan Botanic Gardens, Scotland’s most exotic garden. A stay here would not be complete without taking a drive along the coast and a wander round the little seaside villages of Southerness, Rockcliffe and Kippford. After a day packed with adventure, take a leisurely stroll to the nearby pub and enjoy a well earned drink. Beach 12 miles. Shop 3 miles, pub and restaurant 500 yards.
Brae Cottage can be booked together with Butterhole Cottage (ref UK10736) and Butterhole Farmhouse (UK13051) to accommodate up to 10 guests.

This property is well presented and thoroughly clean. The location is fantastic with amazing views. We had a wonderful break, whether walking in Mabie Forest or just chilling in the garden. The check in was straight forward and Heather was on hand should we need her but we had no issues whatsoever. We would definitely recommend Brae Cottage and will look to come back again. 😊
