About this property

Situated in the coastal settlement of Southerness in the beautiful county of Dumfries and Galloway, you can find the wonderful, four-bedroom holiday home of Quare Place. Featuring off-road parking for up to six cars, an enclosed surrounding garden, and a collection of well-presented interiors, this charming property makes a perfect base for a large family or a group of sharing friends who are seeking a relaxing, self-catered escape near the banks of the Solway Firth. Park up outside your new home-from-home, taking a moment to breathe in your fabulous new setting before your head inside to unpack your things. When you’re ready, get to work in the home’s fully-equipped kitchen where you’ll find all the appliances you’ll need to rustle up a delicious, home-cooked dinner. Savour your meals as a group around the dining table before you retreat to either the downstairs sitting space or the upstairs sitting room, both of which feature ample seating and sleek, Smart TVs. When day turns into night, be sure to refresh with a rejuvenating shower or a soak in the bath before you hunker down for much-needed rest in one of the four inviting bedrooms, including two super-king-sizes with their very own en-suite shower facilities. If you can tear yourself from your tranquil new dwelling, set out to explore your local area. In the village of Southerness, you can stock up on homely essentials at the Nisa Local on your way to sitting down to a hearty pub lunch at The 19th Hole. Golf enthusiasts will delight with a round at the Southerness Golf Club, whilst those looking for the ultimate relaxation can enjoy a calming day spent ambling across Southerness Beach. For a full day out, jump in the car and make a beeline for the Galloway Forest Park, where you can snapping shots at Bruce’s Stone, embark on a stroll along the Glentrool Kindness Path, glimpse local wildlife at Red Deer Range and the Wild Goat Park, or even spend a peaceful moment taking in the view of Rosie's Waterfall. Whatever you do during your next stay in Scotland, do it from the base of Quare Place.

Southerness is a small coastal village established in the late 18th century, which looks out over the Solway Firth, and forms part of the Colvend coast, one of the finest stretches of coastline on the 'Scottish Riviera'. Home to three pubs, two village stores, a leisure centre with a pool at Parkdean and two miles of sandy beaches with sand dunes, rock pools and Gulf Stream warmed waters, and one of the oldest lighthouses in Scotland, built in 1748, it has everything you will need for a relaxing holiday. The nearby Criffel Hill rises to 569m, offers wonderful views of the farmland and the sands of the Nith Estuary below, and provides great walking opportunities. The Southerness Championship Golf Course adjoins the village and offers panoramic views of the Solway Firth, the Cumbrian Lake District to the south and the Galloway Hills to the west. A great location, with something to keep everybody occupied.

    Spacious house perfect for group or large family. We found it to be very well equipped, huge kitchen with everything you could need. 2 ground floor spacious en-suite bedrooms a huge plus for those who are less mobile, another en-suite bedroom upstairs along with a twin room and separate bathroom. We loved that we all had our own bathroom! Beds and bedding all felt luxurious and we had amazing sleeps every single night for a week! Towels provided were soft and fluffy! House has a spacious lounge downstairs with plenty of comfortable seating but also has bonus of additional lounge upstairs which gives a lot of extra space and makes for nice views across the water. Large garden and secluded spot was very quiet even though near the busy caravan parks. Contact from the owner during the week which was not intrusive, we knew if there was any concern we could make contact which was nice. A few points for reference - the TV’s have no aerials but are smart TV’s so you can stream live TV or programs from library on BBC iPlayer or ITV X for example - but if not savvy with doing this you may think not able to watch any TV. (Also can watch other streamed services - Netflix) Maybe owner could leave some guided instructions for this as would definately help! Also the hot water never lasted for us all to have a shower, so this would be nice to be improved upon if possible for future guests. Tumble dryer in garage and once located we struggled to make it work so gave up, thankfully weather improved so we were able to dry clothes outside. Instructions for this couldn’t be found so these should also be provided and information to say it’s in garage.

    It was warm and welcoming with the added bonus of a beautiful Christmas Tree. The beds were very comfortable and the whole property is furnished to a high standard with a well equipped kitchen. We particularly loved the first floor lounge with views out over the Solway. The beach and lighthouse are very close for walks. Some of our party are less mobile than others so having ground floor bedrooms and bathrooms was ideal. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return some day.
