Burnside Cottage

Set near Dumfries in Southern Scotland, Burnside Cottage offers a peaceful retreat for two, perfect for couples wanting to get away from it all amid the rolling countryside of this part of the Borders.

There's little in the way of bustle here, which is very much the point: this is a spot for slow mornings and long walks rather than ticking off attractions. Barrhill station lies around four miles away, giving you a straightforward route in if you're travelling by rail, while the rest of your stay can be as unstructured as you like.
