The interior of Albany Cottage is both welcoming and functional, featuring a Reception Hall/Dining room that leads to a cozy sitting room equipped with a wood-burning stove, perfect for winter evenings after exploring the picturesque surroundings. The cottage serves as an excellent base for family beach holidays, with nearby walking trails through wildflower meadows and woodlands managed by the National Trust for Scotland. These scenic walks can lead to the neighboring village of Kippford, known for its vibrant sailing and water sports activities, along with local amenities such as hotels and a tea room for refreshments.
In addition to its proximity to the beach, Albany Cottage is surrounded by the natural beauty of the Solway Coast, which boasts breathtaking scenery and diverse wildlife.

The cottage is part of a semi-detached pair, with the option to rent the adjoining Munro Cottage for larger groups wishing to stay together.

The property is pet-friendly, allowing up to two dogs, and features essential amenities such as a fully equipped kitchen, smart TV, Wi-Fi, and a shared garden area.
