The cottage makes a perfect base for family beach holidays, with walks through the near by wild flower meadows and woodland managed by the National Trust for Scotland. These walks take you over the hill to the “sister” village of Kippford which is a popular and busy sailing and water sports centre with two hotels and a tea room all making excellent stops for refreshments before you return home. Nearby, Colvend has a general store and tea room, more facilities can be found in ‘The Granite Town’ of Dalbeattie, 7 miles away.
The beautiful Solway Coast offers spectacular scenery and wildlife, with a bird sanctuary on Rough Island, accessible at low tide and the rspb Reserve at Mersehead, a short drive away. Local leisure facilities include sailing in the neighbouring village of Kippford and golf courses at Colvend, Southerness, Kippford and Dalbeattie. ‘World-class’ mountain-biking opportunities (7 Stanes) and walks are popular in the nearby Dalbeattie forest.

Monro is a fab family house with the sea to the front and forest behind . The only criticism I would make it the gardens are neglected. Long uncut grass and weeds everywhere. Side gate taken off so no enclosed garden which when you have children and dogs is important .

A very well located seaside holiday cottage a stones throw from the sea in a quiet village at the end of a dead end ! The accommodation is well laid out and has all the equipment to make your stay comfortable. Parking for 2 but a tight entrance. Although shared garden ideal for well behaved dogs. A working pedestrian gate and wider drive gate would be an advantage. Garden large but slightly overgrown and shrubs need cutting on sea shore to maintain fab views. Garden could easily be sub divided. Great walks from doorstep to beach or forest. Only negative is that if next door cottage under same ownership Albany has 2 cars they park in front of Munroe spoiling views. This could be resolved by Albany sorting 2 car spaces in their drive. We’ve booked again so that sums up our review! Thanks.
