Welcome to the Bonshawbrae site. My wife and I use the cottage ourselves as often as we can so we know how nice it is. I'm biased, of course, I was born there! We have also had some very positive feedback from visitors. Here is an example - there are more in Testimonials. I know they are hand-picked but what can I do!
| We enjoyed a wonderfully peaceful holiday and the weather was certainly benevolent! We achieved all that we had planned. It was a joy to hoist up the bedroom blind each morning and watch sheep grazing at such close quarters. It was also lovely to watch the antics of a mixed flock of birds over a leisurely breakfast. The sunsets were spectacular when we drove back to the cottage after the day's explorations and the lack of light pollution enabled us to see a whole panoply of stars. All the amenities in the cottage were excellent - you thought of everything! The electric blanket was a real luxury for me and I loved the Japanese lamp in the hallway. Oct 2009 |

LOCAL AREA
Bonshawbrae is situated in lovely countryside and surrounded by fields. It is an excellent centre for exploring either the shore (about 9 miles to the Solway Firth) or the hills. There is no shortage of things to do in the area including fishing, bird watching, Quad biking and golf - see Activities for ideas. If you want to explore a wider area, Bonshawbrae makes a good base for day trips to Galloway in the West or the Scottish Borders to the East. It is very convenient for Carlisle (with easy access from there to the Lake District) and is within 2 hours of Edinburgh and Glasgow.
The cottage has been completely refurbished recently. There is oil central heating but also an open fire if you want some atmosphere!
The cottage is half a mile from the small village of Kirtlebridge and stands in its own grounds on a long private driveway so there is lots of space for parking and for children to play.
Travel Directions and Location Map
If you can see this website you probably don't need a brochure but if you would like one sent to you (post or e-mail) please ask.
VisitScotland have useful What's On Guides. The one for Dumfries & Galloway is probably most appropriate for a stay in the cottage but the Borders one may be of interest too.
