An open fire gives life to the sitting room with a kitchen modern yet in keeping with the traditional feel of the cottage. The kitchen window looks out over the wild flower meadow and a dishwasher ensures you will only spend a pleasant amount of time in this spot.
A separate dining room gives a feeling of space.
From the sun porch you'll be able to relax and enjoy views out over the Solway Firth down to the Lake District and Isle of Man. You are a stone's throw from the private loch with its quirky pavilion and it is about 15-minutes walk to the rocky seashore with expansive waters warmed by the Gulf Stream. There are rock pools to explore, waterfalls to discover and large flat rocks which make an excellent base for a picnic.
The cottage is set in its own fully enclosed garden with a barbecue and garden furniture. Do you have children? A simple games room with table tennis, pool table and TV/DVD, in addition to the enchanting grounds, awaits them.

Cottage in Wonderland!
We spent a week in May in Cutlar’s Lodge. The weather overall was kind which gave the estate something of an Edwardian summer feeling. Absolutely beautiful with a delicious hint of eccentricity!
The cottage itself is spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The location, as indicated, is exquisite and so peaceful. We spent a lot of time sitting watching swallows, martins and even a red squirrel. It was also delightful to stroll through the estate or down to the shore.
It is a fine area for walking. There are plenty of maps and guides in the house. We did the local walks from the house (in the rain but green and lovely) round the point from Balcary Bay (spectacular) and up Screel Hill and Bengairn (strenuous!)
Dundrennan Abbey is well worth a visit. Kirkcudbright is picturesque and relaxed and we can recommend the Selkirk Arms for dinner!
The community shop at Auchencairn is well stocked and does a good coffee.
A beautiful area and a perfect holiday cottage.
Highly recommended!

Beautiful Location
My family and I loved our stay at Cutlar's lodge. The house is charming and comfortable. We enjoyed evenings by the fireplace. The grounds are attractively landscaped and maintained. The food shopping at local stores, as recommended by the hosts, was a big success, especially the community store in Auchencairn and Caterbirds in Castle Douglas. It was wonderful to be surrounded by views and a wide variety of walks. We went several times to the dramatic shoreline and the walk above the house. It was good central location for daytrips to Kirckudbright, Threave Gardens, and Caerlaverock Castle.

Excellent property in a great location. Surrounded by countryside, woodland and great views.
We had a great holiday with our 2 boys (5 and 7 year olds). They loved exploring the estate, especially down at the shore where they enjoyed rockpooling. The house feels very private with no immediate neighbours and it was very relaxing and peaceful. We would definitely go back.
