A range of Dumfries holiday cottages are available from the rental agent featured below, providing holiday makers with access to an impressive 200 miles of coastline. Inland, the Dumfries landscape consists of shapely green hills and windswept moor-lands - an idyllic region, well suited to cottage rentals and weekend breaks.
Running from the Southern Uplands to the flat Solway Plain, the three valleys of Nithsdale, Annandale and Eskdale offer some of the most beautiful scenery Scotland has to offer. Dumfries can also boast the highest towns in the country with Wanlockhead and Leadhills at 1380 ft.
The River Annan flowing down from the spectacular Devil's Beef Tub, is popular for game fishing as are the rivers Nith, Cree and Bladnoch. On a clear day the Dumfries coast affords some spectacular views of the Lake District, Ireland and the Isle of Man. It too is a regular haunt for anglers and fisherman, thanks to the large sized Cod that swim in its waters.
The visitor will also find around 1, 300 miles of marked trails that run along the dramatic coast that also run inland through the thick forests and moor-lands of this spectacular area of Scotland. You can book Dumfries holiday cottages/self catering holidays in Dumfries below.
