The Experience

This lovely old semi-detached stone cottage sits in very pretty countryside surrounded by farmland. Inside is light, bright and very comfortable with a sofa bed, a table and chairs in the window and a pretty terrace with shrubs, pots and herbs. Long summer evenings out here will be sublime – open some wine, light the barbecue and watch the sun go down while the stars appear.

The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you need to cook up a storm. You’re left fresh bread, butter, milk, eggs and biscuits but it’s a short hop to shops. On rainy days you can head to the shared games room for table tennis and darts. Hire bikes and pedal along country lanes or fish for salmon in the river (you’ll need a permit.) There is safe storage for bikes and rods.

Sleep soundly and peacefully in a king size bed with crisp cotton and local art on the walls. Pamper yourself in the shower/wet room with a pebble floor for walk-weary feet.

Reviews

Don't drive straight up the M74 to the Highlands! 10 mins from the motorway, stop off and enjoy the comfort of these amazing cottages and the unspoilt beauty of Dumfries and Galloway. Byre and Stable Cottages are the perfect base to enjoy endless outdoor activities and eat top-quality local produce. I promise you won't be disappointed and you won't want to leave!

Location

The neighbourhood

Lockerbie (four miles) has an interesting mix of shops, pubs and monthly farmers' market. Eat at 'Just Be' – great for breakfast, lunch and suppers. Moffat is 15 miles; Annan is 14, with distilleries, festivals, museum and the 53-mile Annandale Way running through, starting at the source of the river Annan. Visit the Grey Mares Tail Nature Reserve for birdwatching, walks and a fabulous waterfall.

Local points of interest from Kirsteen & Andrew Michell

  • Applegarth is the Clan seat of the Jardines There is a 12th century Motte in the garden and a church with ancient graveyard next-door -fascinating for history lovers. Applegarth House was the 17th c Manse and our new cottages were the Stable and Byre.
  • We are situated on the River Annan so fishing is easily available. There is a lovely golf course at Lochmaben just 4 miles away and also a loch for coarse fishing. Scenic village tennis courts are near Lockerbie with an excellent village cafe.
  • There are endless walks - near and far. Explore the Solway Coast or walk in the hills near Moffat. Grey Mare's Tail is a fabulous climb following the dramatic waterfall. Or gently walk the length or part of the length of the River Annan. Doggy heaven!
  • Come for the last May Bank Holiday for Spring Fling when the artists of Dumfriesshire fling open their studio doors and welcome all visitors to see and buy. Special routes are created to facilitate covering different regions of the county.
  • This is the birthplace of the bike - by Kirkpatrick MacMillan in 1839. We have world class cycle trails in our region including the 7 stanes and dedicated routes for all abilities and miles of lanes to explore. Mountain, Gravel, Road and Biking tours - we have it all.
  • Mostly Ghostly Tours! – Dumfriesshire’s first paranormal investigation team and creators of ghost and evocative local history tours - everything from Scotland’s most haunted road to an intriguing vampire legend dating back to the 12th century.
