Self-catering holiday cottages in Kirkcudbright

With postcard-perfect views across the open water of the Solway Firth, the pretty town of Kirkcudbright (pronounced kir–coo–bree) is a delightful location in historic Dumfries and Galloway. Littered with ancient castles and dominated by an expansive forest park this lively Scottish fishing port is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, mountain bikers and hikers. Visit our Kirkcudbright cottages in June to enjoy the acclaimed annual Jazz Festival, while July brings a yearly summer art exhibition to the town centre. Behind the bustling harbour, the attractive streets lined with their pastel-coloured cottages have housed generations of creative artists, a tradition maintained today by a flourishing colony of painters and craftworkers, with an abundance of galleries, museums and artists’ studios. This has led to Kirkcudbright being called ‘The Artists’ Town’.
