The Coach House- Canonbie

About this property

Langholm 5.5 miles. The Coach House - Canonbie is nestled just across the Scottish Border in the quaint village of Canonbie near Langholm, Dumfries and Galloway. Boasting a fabulous location in a rural setting yet with access to the Scottish countryside, Northumberland National Park and the Lake District National Park, this dog-friendly dwelling benefits from a spacious, open-plan living space, two sumptuous bedrooms and an enclosed garden; the perfect choice for families, friends or couples looking to explore the borders. Venture into your new home-from-home where, after a day full of exploration you can unpack your welcome basket provided by the owner and unwind on either of the plush sofas while the designated chef of the group cooks up a storm in the fully-equipped kitchen.

Sample their culinary delights at the dining table before heading outside to sit and enjoy evening drinks at the garden table while up to 3 dogs run freely in the enclosed garden. When stars appear above, travel back inside to locate two king-size bedrooms fitted with handy en-suite shower rooms so you can freshen up before sloping off to sleep. If you can tear yourself away from this delightful cottage, head down to the River Esk where you can enjoy riverside walks, cycling and a spot of fishing. Or head to the Tarras Valley Nature Reserve, a community project which purchased 5,200 acres to turn into a reserve for local wildlife that live in the upper moors, ancient woodland and meadows within.

Travel north to discover the charming town of Langholm where you can stock up on all of your self-catering essentials or have great coffee and cake at First Bite. To enjoy a well-earned break from the kitchen with dinner at The Crown Hotel, The Eskdale Hotel or head to the Hidden River Cafe near Longtown or the Crown and Thistle at Rockcliff. Outdoor enthusiasts can also travel into Northumberland National Park to meander the myriad of walking, hiking and cycling routes with breath-taking views across both the Scottish and English countryside; enjoy a spot of stargazing in Kielder Water and Forest Park which is renowned for its night skies, lake and observatory.

Cumbria is also easily accessible, stop off at Gretna Green to learn about its history or continue to the historic city of Carlisle or the iconic Lake District National Park with its famous lake towns. Experience all this and more from The Coach House, Canonbie.

Langholm is a burgh on the River Esk in Dumfries and Galloway. From Mesolithic Man 9000 years ago, through Roman occupation to the notorious Border Reivers around the 16th century, Langholm has much history to share. The town developed around the textile industry, achieving a worldwide reputation for its woollens, expanding its population and earning the nickname of the ‘Muckle Toon’, or the Large Town. Langholm is also famous as the birthplace of Hugh MacDiarmid, the poet and Thomas Telford who was born just outside the town and after whom a road in the town is named. An unused Episcopalian church was converted into the Armstrong clan museum and was visited by astronaut Neil Armstrong in 1972 when he was made a freeman of the burgh. The town also hosts festivals for music, food and arts and the annual Common Riding draws many visitors. Within easy reach is Lockerbie, home to a good selection of bars and shopping facilities, as well as a jazz festival. A short drive from Langholm in the River Esk Valley is the Kagyu Samye Ling, the first Tibetan Buddhist Centre established in the West. As well as offering residential retreats, day visitors are welcome all year round to explore the temple or relax in the peace gardens and grounds.
