The Smithy Of Longcastle
The Smithy is in Whauphill in Dumfriesshire. It's a detached cottage, so no neighbours attached. The gardens are large. It's a quiet spot with fields around.
It sleeps six. Three bedrooms and one bathroom. It's got a 4 Star rating. It was updated a couple of years ago, so things like the wifi and kitchen are modern. The master bedroom has patio doors straight out to the garden.
It's a rural place but you're only about five miles from the coast at Port William. The coast here is rugged with some good sandy beaches. Luce Bay is nice.
Wigtown, which is Scotland's book town, is about a 20 minute drive. It's good for a wander around the shops. The Galloway Forest Park is maybe 30 minutes by car. That's where the mountain bike trails and walking routes are. It's also a Dark Sky Park, so the night skies are very clear if that's your thing.
The Logan Botanic Garden is famous and worth the trip, about 40 minutes away. It's run by the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
As for the cottage itself, it's all on the ground floor which is handy. There's a washing machine, dishwasher, parking right there, and the bedding and towels are included. You can bring one dog. There's bike storage if you need it.
For more on the area, the Galloway Forest Park website has trail maps. National Trust for Scotland has information too.
