Kirkennan Estate Holiday Cottages

About Kirkennan Estate Holiday Cottages

Kirkennan's 3 Green Tourism Gold rated holiday cottages are set within 74 acres of riverside woodland, gardens and fields that guests are welcome to explore. The Estate is ideal for morning dog walks, bird spotting or just relaxing in nature or in the picturesque riverside hut. More vigourous walks within Kirkennan Woods or to the local viewpoint of Raven's Craig can be enjoyed without the need to drive.

The cottages are centrally located within Dumfries & Galloway making them a good base for exploring all that this area of Scotland has to offer. Kirkennan is just 1km outside the friendly village of Palnackie with a community run shop where the owners both volunteer, a pub and a historic harbour and a short drive to various visitor attractions such as Kippford the 'Solway Riviera', Castle Douglas Food Town, Threave Castle and Garden or Kirkcudbright Artist Town. The Galloway Hills and Dark Sky Park are also within easy reach.

Each cottage has its own unique character and offers modern comfort within a historic context. The Lodge is the old gate lodge of the Estate and sits on its own in a large enclosed garden overlooking the orchard and walled garden of the estate. The Mews and Woodsedge are part of the converted stable block. The Mews was once the Estate Office and at one time would have provided accommodation for the stable boys. Woodsedge historically provided accommodation for animals and being all on one level has been adapted within the constraint of an old building to be as accessible as possible.
