This upside down house sits on the edge of the village and enjoys superb views. One particular feature is the spacious living room with floor to ceiling windows and patio doors opening onto a covered veranda, which makes the most of the views and is perfect for sitting enjoying the morning sun over breakfast. From the living room there is a kitchen, again allowing you to enjoy the views and a lovely dining room which overlooks the village. Venture outside and you will not be disappointed, a hot tub is situated in a purpose built cabin so you can enjoy the bubbles in rain, sleet or snow.
Starting life as a house, then a Free Church and a school, it then became apparent that there was no need for two schools in such a small community so it became a store. On the 5th of December 1844 the idea came about to ensure every child in the community had the opportunity to have a hot meal during the months of October to March, hence the name “The Soup Kitchen”.
Borgue is a charming little village with a local pub serving food so no need to cook, allowing you to really relax and enjoy the area. The village is close to many beautiful beaches, coastal walks and stunning rolling countryside. A short drive away will take you to Kirkcudbright, a lovely town on the estuary which still has a bustling harbour. Stroll through the town and visit Broughton House, once home to the famed Scottish painter E. A. Hornel. Kirkcudbright is known as “the artists’ town”, having hosted generations of painters, craft-makers and artisans, a culture that is still thriving today. The town attracts visitors throughout the year, drawn in by the harbour, the historic high street and the diverse range of annual events and visitor attractions. The popular programme of summer festivities culminates with the spectacular Tattoo, an event not to be missed. The area has numerous walks available, from scenic coastal strolls to forest trails. With sailing, swimming, riding, fishing, golf, boat trips and water sports all close by there is sure to be something for everyone. Warmed by the gulf stream there are many beautiful gardens to visit, including National Trust Threave Gardens. Close to the Galloway Forest Park, the first Dark Sky Park in the UK, and central to 5 of the 7Stanes, it is a popular location for cyclists and mountain bikers. Beach 3 miles. Shop 5 miles, pub and restaurant 50 yards.

This was a great place to stay seen so much of the area there.
This was a great place to stay seen so much of the area there. The house was great clean and layout was perfect. The views from the balcony was amazing. The hot tub was inside the shed which was a great size. Thank you for your hospitality.

Excellent property.
Excellent property. Furnished and equipped to a very high specification.Wonderful view from balcony and very peaceful.Only one disappointment was the hot tub which was located inside a cabin in the garden. There was an overwhelming abundance of chlorine fumes that made us feel quite unwell. Didn't go in it after first time. Not sure if it was due to excess chlorine in the water or lack of adequate ventilation by being indoors.Didn't ruin our stay and we'll definitely be visiting again
Our holiday was perfect the house was amazing and fully equipped for more than we even needed! Amazi
Our holiday was perfect the house was amazing and fully equipped for more than we even needed! Amazing views but that comes with it being a bit of a drive to a larger supermarket. Definitely not a downside if you shop before you visit. Big enclosed garden was great too!
