Why we love it

The coastal cottage of your dreams, set into the Scottish Uplands, with either sea, or hillscape views from the windows, and an incredible veranda

Dogs will love

Exploring the coastline for new and exciting smells
Looking underfed below the table at the local dog-friendly pubs
Freely prancing about the enclosed veranda

Humans will love

Peering out at the sea, over the top of a book from the sofa
The roar of an open fire at night
The incredibly scenic walks at every turn

The place

Edenville’s as idyllic as it sounds, with its far-reaching views of the Scottish Uplands stretching out from any window that doesn’t overlook the sea. This is the perfect place to bring the family if you’re looking to adventure in Scotland. Mornings will be spent lavishing in fresh sea air out on the veranda and taking in the sun for breakfast. Afternoons might be spent watching the kids chase the dog down the beach. And evenings? Well, there’s plenty to choose from. With the spacious interior, you can be sharing family time as easily as enjoying your own space. It’s also the perfect setting for friends, with its large kitchen for group cooking, crafting the local produce you’ve scored in town or battling wits with games by the fire at night.

You should know

Other than handwash, toiletries aren’t provided – so don’t forget to pack your wash bag!
If your dog prefers to be closer to you than the floor, don’t forget to pack a throw or blanket so they can join you on the sofa or bed
There isn’t an enclosed garden at this space, however, there’s an enclosed veranda so dogs can get some air safely
There are also fields for dogs to roam next door, provided that there isn’t livestock in them

Whilst you might like crafting some local produce into meals at your space, there are a few places to visit if you’re not feeling up to cooking. Up the road at Gatehouse of Fleet, there are a few dog-friendly places to grab some food with your hound. The Crafty Crow – an independent and locally-owned café which serves vegetarian food, including pizza that’s the talk of the town. You could also head to The Masonic Arms for local produce served up with style. During the summer months, there is also The Mill on the Fleet – a bookshop/café/museum that welcomes well-behaved dogs
This part of Scotland is sparsely populated, which is part of the appeal. The downside is, it can be quite a distance to the nearest attraction (as long as you don’t mean hills, moors, lochs and the wild). If you head northeast to Castle Douglas, you can visit the local eateries, stock up on bits and bobs at the shops, and most importantly, see some sights. There’s the Threave Gardens and Estate, just outside Castle Douglas – which is the only Scottish garden dedicated to the training of horticulturists. It also contains wetland nature reserves, Scotland’s only bat reserve and is one of Scotland’s most biodiverse areas. Dogs are welcome in the garden but must be kept on a lead at all times. They are also not permitted in the Walled Garden, Kelton Hill Wood or the play area
Getting away for a few days is a great way to refocus when you can’t see the woods for the trees. So ironically, it’s probably time to spend a minute in a forest. Nearby, there’s the Kirroughtree Forest, 21 minutes north, below Newton Stewart. There’s a visitor centre and café, multiple hiking routes, biking routes, wild hides to spot the abundant wildlife – and best of all, it welcomes dogs, even in the café and visitor centre
Kirroughtree is actually part of the larger Galloway Forest Park, which also includes another two visitor centres: Glentrool, where there’s a similar set up to Kirroughtree, as well as Clatteringshaws – which whilst it doesn’t have the same amount of biking trails, does have hikes, a visitor centre and café, and some great views of, and walks around, the loch
If you’re looking for a hike, head to Glen Trool and take the enjoyable 5-mile amble on the complete circuit around the tranquil Loch Trool. For a slightly shorter, but still as scenic, visit Clatteringshaws Loch and see the Bruce's Stone before climbing through woodland to a viewpoint with sights of Merrick and the surrounding hills
There are few places in the world like the coastal paths and beaches of rural Scotland. From your stay, head east for 50 minutes to Sandyhills beach – a massive sandy (surprise) beach that’s amazing for walks. To its right, there’s also the Southerness Beach, another massive sandy stretch great for walks – and best of all, both are open to dogs all year round.
