With panoramic views across Dumfries and Galloway countryside, this property boasts miles of scenic walks on its doorstep. For something a little more fast-paced, the local area offers an abundance of sporting activities from mountain biking to sailing, riding and golfing. Step back in time with a visit to the 18th-century 'food' town of Castle Douglas, home to many independent shops and eateries or pay a visit to the nearby island fortress of Threave Castle. A designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Solway Coast is home to salt marshes, sandy beaches and varied colonies of wildlife.

Inside, this traditional family home harks back to its past through characterful fireplaces, ceiling cornicing, original windows and decorative tapestries. On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall opens into a spacious living room complete with open fire for those chillier evenings and a TV with Blu-ray to keep everyone entertained. The traditional farmhouse-style kitchen and dining area opens onto the garden through patio doors. This room is fitted with an electric oven, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, microwave and Rayburn. More formal meals are best enjoyed in the grand dining room, which is furnished with an antique table and chairs fit for special celebrations. There is also a handy utility room with shower and WC on the ground floor. Upstairs are four individually decorated bedrooms, each of which is light and airy with traditional decor. Ideal for families, there are four twin bedrooms and two bathrooms.

With a stream running by, the garden offers a picturesque spot for enjoying summer picnics on the patio. Depending on the weather, choose between a game of tennis outside or take to the games room complete with open fire and sofa and chairs, for an afternoon of billiards, darts or table tennis.

This house was perfect for a family holiday. We celebrated an engagement, a 30th wedding anniversary, a 60th birthday and a retirement all in the 1 week. This house was great, kitchen well equipped, the garden was beautiful, the games room was great fun (if a little cold) and the tennis court was ideal. We have a tennis coach in the family so we weRead morere all treated to private lessons! While the decor may be a little tired and carpets a bit threadbare, it just works with such a lovely old property. Hide

Fantastic holiday, amazing location and a great range of facilities. Only things were furniture a little worn but in keeping with the styling of the house and beds have a hard mattress which not everyone in the party felt comfortable on. Would definitely return and would recommend to family and friends.

Had an amazing week with extended family. Cottage is very spacious, well equipped and with brilliant facilities. Great to be able to have breakfast in the kitchen and then dinner in the separate dining room before relaxing in front of the real fire in the large living room - we even had a pianist in the party to play the baby grand piano. Made greaRead moret use of the games room and tennis court. Great walks in surrounding countryside and coastline. All in all a great cottage and would highly recommend. Hide

We had a great week at Bellerigg. The countryside is beautiful and being so close to Castle Douglas is a bonus. We made great use of the tennis court and games room. The house is rather lived in and a wee bit worn round the edges but it is homely and comfortable. The aga kept us warm and the open fire is lovely in the evening. It had plenty of roomRead more for our family of 7. The shower room being downstairs was a bit inconvenient but we knew this when we booked. The bathrooms could do with updating. Hide
