  • "Our stay at this beautiful terraced cottage was greatly enhanced by delightful weather which also yielded breathtaking views across the Solway (especially during the new moon period)."

    A quiet retreat, with the only intrusive sounds coming from the wading birds at dusk. The property had everything we needed, it is warm and comfortable, lots of local information and with places to sit in the sun for morning coffee and afternoon tea. Thank you.

    Thank you so much. I'm so pleased you enjoyed your holiday in the Solway sunshine! Property Owner

  • "Powfoot and Shoreside was an excellent destination."

    Although both myself and my partner weren't totally well for the duration of our stay, this did not detract from our enjoyment of the location, which was beautiful and the comfort of Shoreside, with its magnificent views overlooking the Solway Firth. The property was extremely spacious and immaculately tidy, with great decor. We used the Powfoot Hotel, on 3-nights, for our evening meals when we didn't feel like cooking ourselves. The food at 'Del Amitris' (at the Powfoot Hotel) was exceptional and very reasonably priced. Powfoot is a quiet, peaceful and well maintained village, which is exactly what we want from a holiday. However, the Town of Annan is only 3-miles away and Dumfries 15-miles away. Annan even has its own little cinema, which is delightful and a very good Italian Restaurant. Finally, there are a number of places, within reasonable driving distance, where you can explore the beautiful scenery of the area, although there are also plenty of walks just on Powfoot's doorstep. We walked, on the beach from Powfoot to Newbie and then onto Annan and caught a bus back to Powfoot Road End (half a mile walk back to the village itself). We will certainly be returning to Shoreside.

    Thank you so much. Really pleased you enjoyed some of our great local businesses and the surrounding countryside. Property Owner

    The cottage is decorated lovely and was so clean and tidy. Kitchen well equipped. Welcome pack was lovely especially after a long drive and then being able to make a drink. My only suggestion would be for the front bedroom, as we are both light sleepers the sun comes through the front very early and so makes the room very bright, a black out blind may be useful in there? We would definitely stay again and recommend to family and friends as so relaxing

    Thanks for your lovely comments. We can certainly look into a blind. Property Owner

  • "Shoreside is a perfect place for a tranquil stay, with great views over the Solway Firth."

    On arrival we were met by Carol, the owner, and greeted with a tray of local goodies, There was fresh milk in the fridge and everything was immaculate. The house is very well furnished, comfortable and cosy. Everything was thought about and provided, The parking space just by the back door was a bonus too. Powfoot is a very quiet location, and Shoreside is aptly named, as it is literally on the side of the shore, with clear unobstructed views across the Firth. The villagers have provided a very well maintained 9 hole putting green, and lawn bowls too, Free to use. The cottage is well situated to explore the area, with the historic town of Annan only ten minutes away , with all the necessary shops and restaurants catering for all needs. We both slept very well in the comfortable bed, and Carol must be complimented on her bedding. Excellent. The WiFi worked seamlessly , and the TV had a great picture. We intend to return as there is much more to explore. I would highly recommend Shoreside to anyone who is looking for a comfortable accommodation, in a quiet location. Liam Coyle

    The owner was particularly helpful in turning around our enquiry to stay within the same day of request. The welcome basket was a particularly nice touch especially as we arrived late. Off street parking was appreciated and the garden seating provided overlooking the waterfront much appreciated. I think it is worth noting that the neighbours were welcoming too. I would certainly recommend to friends and family. We took our two little dogs and I felt that the owner made an effort to make them feel welcomed too without excessive rules. All too often 'dog friendly' properties can sound at best 'dogs tolerated' once you get to the property which is very off putting and happy to say this was not the case here.

    From the moment of arrival till departure the break exceeded all our expectations. Carol was very friendly and the house was everything we required and more. All modern conveniences but retaining a period charm. A very nice welcome package to ensure a quick cup of tea and snack on arrival. More than enough shopping only a short car ride away in Annan as well as some excellent eateries. Best breaded haddock I have tasted in 50 years at Cafe Royal. Our daughter had slightly limited mobility so being so close to the beach was really appreciated. Nice sitting out areas to front and rear. So easy to walk the dogs on the beach at low tides and close enough to enjoy the dynamics of the high tides. Being so close to the beach meant that any showers could be easily avoided for dog walking and beach-combing. If for any reason dog walking on the beach was out there were plenty of other inland dog walk or the coastal path. Did not do much touring of local areas but Carol provided with lots of information on local sites, maybe next time. All the resident neighbours were extremely friendly with a gracious greeting or a smiling wave. Also very dog aware. Sykes information flow as regards information on our break was excellent. I would certainly return at some point and Sykes and Carol at Shoreside did not let us down in any department, so will check them first.

There are two bedrooms, a twin and a king-size double, the larger of which enjoys superb coastal views across the sea to the Lakes and beyond.

The ground floor comprises of a comfortable sitting room, which also faces the coast, complemented by a warming woodburning stove, and there’s also a well-equipped kitchen with a dining area.

The handy lockable bike storage and the enclosed garden are across an access road, so care should be taken when stepping out of the rear door.

Once you reach the garden you’ll find a lawned area where the children can play in safety and you can enjoy a barbecue for those hazy summer days.

You've also got a front garden with a lovely decked area and superb south-facing coastal views.

This beachfront cottage sits across the road from Powfoot Beach, a striking stretch of sand and shingle, perfect for paddling, with a local coastal footpath nearby.

Access to the beach directly in front of the property is via rough, narrow, tracks which can be slippy in some conditions, so care should be taken.

Easier access to the shore can be found a couple of hundred metres further west.

There's also plenty of birdlife to observe at the splendid Caerlaverlock Castle and Nature Reserve.

There is a shop at Queensberry Bay Holiday Park, less than a mile away along the coast, where you can pick up essentials for picnics, whilst the on-site spa is open to non-residents should you wish to indulge in a treatment or two.

The town of Annan is 3.5 miles away and boasts a multitude of amenities, as well as a rich history dating back to Roman times, whilst Powfoot Golf Club offers an ideal mix of parkland and links holes, nestled within breathtaking scenery.

Cyclists can enjoy some of the renowned 7stanes mountain biking trails, as well as Sustrans Cycle Route 7, taking in miles and miles of beautiful scenery.

About the location

ANNAN

Dumfries 15.7 miles; Carlisle 20 miles

The town of Annan, a former harbour, lies on the banks of the River Annan, in East Dumfries and Galloway, and is steeped in history, with the area once the site of Roman camps and the workplace of the writer Thomas Carlyle. Each year, the town celebrates the Riding of the Marches, in honour of the Royal Charter bestowed by King James V, which involves parades, massed pipe bands and competitions. The area around Annan has many small towns, picture postcard villages and hamlets, plus beautiful unspoilt coastline, with sandy beaches and hidden coves. Visit nearby Caerlaverock Castle, one of Scotland's finest ruined castles or Annandale Distillery. Take a day trip and marvel at the majestic architecture of the grand abbeys of Melrose and Jedburgh or visit the northern Lake District and the historic Hadrian’s Wall. Annan is an ideal base for exploring this lovely area.
