Description from manager

Description

In a peaceful, riverside location with stunning views of the surrounding countryside, yet only 10 minutes from the M74, Riverside Cottage is the perfect place to relax, unwind and recharge your batteries.

The cottage is located in the small rural village of Boreland, 7 miles north of Lockerbie in Dumfries & Galloway. With a wide range of walking, cycling and golfing within easy reach as well as a varied choice of local places/attractions to visit, this modern, comfortable cottage is the ideal base to explore the local area.

Riverside Cottage has a wonderful homely charm, featuring an open plan kitchen/dining/living area, a fabulous sunroom which opens out onto a patio area, electric heating and a wood burning stove.

Delicious homemade meals and yummy afternoon teas are usually available on certain days of the week should you wish to make your stay that little bit more relaxing and special. Please ask for our menu.

Getting around

Given the rural location of the cottage a car is recommended. However, trains frequently stop in Lockerbie and, if we were around, we could collect guests from the station. There is a bus service into Lockerbie and back 4 times a day, with connections to other towns available.

Interaction with guest

We will normally be there to welcome guests and show them into the cottage but if we can't someone else will be. We live in the neighbouring property so will usually be available during your stay to answer any queries or suggest things to do, places to visit or where to eat. Although living next door we totally respect your privacy during your stay and you won't see us unless you want to! If for any reason we won't be around, guests will have an alternative contact person. Our catering business, Katering Allsorts also offers home cooked meals ready to pop in the oven/heat on the hob plus delicious soups, desserts and afternoon teas. We can send you a menu of options if you ask when you book.
