Albany Cottage, situated in the charming coastal village of Dalbeattie, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, is an inviting family holiday retreat that accommodates up to seven guests. This classic cottage overlooks the popular sandy cove of Rockcliffe beach and features four bedrooms, including a ground floor option, along with a separate shower room. The property is designed to be light and airy, with spacious rooms that provide stunning sea views from both the living areas and bedrooms, making it an ideal getaway for larger groups or families.
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. Nearby attractions include the bird sanctuary on Rough Island, accessible at low tide, and the RSPB Reserve at Mersehead. The area also offers various leisure activities, including sailing in Kippford and golfing at several local courses. For adventure seekers, the renowned mountain-biking trails of the 7 Stanes and walking paths in Dalbeattie forest are easily accessible.
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. Albany Cottage is available for weekly rentals from Friday to Friday, with a damage deposit required. 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. While the cottage has been carefully restored using traditional materials, some walls may exhibit historical character, adding to its charm without compromising comfort or safety.
