Sea View 40 is a wonderful holiday home, taking advantage of the stunning sea views on a lovely holiday village in Southerness. It is set in a spectacular corner of south west Scotland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Only a short walk away is the beautiful sandy beach where not only you, but your four legged friend can enjoy the vast beach.
The open-plan living area at Sea View 40 opens up onto the enclosed decking through the floor to ceiling patio doors, so whatever the weather you can make the most of that view. With two bedrooms, the master having its own dressing area and en-suite toilet, and a well-equipped kitchen, this really is a gorgeous home from home. There is lots on-site to entertain the whole family including the indoor swimming pool and entertainment nights, as well as restaurants, pubs and a shop (seasonal) in the village.
The coastal village of Southerness has undoubtedly some of the most outstanding views of the Solway Firth, with views towards the Lake District hills in the distance. Explore the beach and striking white lighthouse, originally built in 1749, and the second oldest lighthouse in Scotland. For the golfers in the family, a must is a round of golf on the famous Southernesss championship links course!
Whilst pottering on the beach or around the holiday park may keep you entertained all week, if you want to explore further afield you have the ideal base to discover beautiful Dumfries and Galloway, from its beaches and coves to cliff top walks and forest trails. A popular area for walkers and cyclists, there is world class mountain biking at Mabie and Dalbeattie 7Stanes. Magnificent gardens, castles and ancient monuments are also waiting to be explored. Wildlife abounds, and a RSPB nature reserve is just along the coast and is well worth a visit at any time of year. With countless historic sites throughout the region and many fun-filled activities for the kids from farm parks to chocolate factories, your holiday will be action packed.

Beira’s Garden, Knockendoch is a truly magical cottage set in expansive and award-winning gardens, beautifully planted and shaped by one of Scotland’s leading landscapists, with a variety of indigenous shrubs, trees and ferns. The house itself, built on the site of a former bothy, is wonderfully sheltered from the prevailing east winds and nestles into the lower slopes of two of Dumfries and Galloway’s most beautiful mountains, Knockendoch and Criffel. Even when there’s wind on the hills, there’s peace in Beira’s Garden!
The house itself has been beautifully decorated to the highest standard, with historic wallpapers designed to complement the moods of the different parts of the garden in each of the bedrooms - while the large kitchen-dining room and the light-filled garden room have been painted in restful shades. From one end of the garden visitors can sit and enjoy breath-taking views across the valley; at the other end they can sit and picnic next to the mountain stream that flows through the garden on its way down to the picturesque village of New Abbey, where there is a village shop, a pub and a cafe. On the summit of the hill opposite towers one of the best loved monuments of the region, the Waterloo Monument. Looking back down to the village, visitors have a splendid view of Sweetheart Abbey, a famous ruin once painted by England’s most famous artist, J.M.W. Turner - and from a spot very close to where Beira’s Garden now stands.
Until 2018, the route to Knockendoch and Criffel was almost impassable, but thanks to a recent council initiative a perfect walkers’ track has been laid and this now paves the way to one of the most beautiful views in Scotland. The summit of Knockendoch, which once took the hardiest walker 2 hours and more to reach, can now be attained in around 50 minutes. From the top there are amazing views across the Solway Firth and - on a clear day - all the way across to the peaks of the Lake District. From there the walk on to Criffel is easy and very scenic.
There are beautiful fishing lochs within a short distance from the house and the best organic delicatessen in southern Scotland is less than 10 minutes away by car. There is also a choice of three supermarkets 15 minutes away in Dumfries. There are few better places from which to explore wonderful Dumfries and Galloway than Beira’s Garden, Knockendoch. Beach 8 miles.
