Comfortable accommodation near Dumfries town center
Surprisingly large cottage just 10 minutes’ walk from Dumfries town. Nice kitchen, comfortable sitting room, two double bedrooms and one single. Good utility room and two bathrooms. Just be aware that parking can be a bit of a tight fit, and we left our suitcases downstairs as the upstairs bedroom is a little space constrained.
Communication with the host was good, and house rules are very simple. An easy stay. Recommended for families or small groups looking for an accessible place near the town center.

Hidden gem
Laurieknowe Coach House, Dumfries
This is a hidden gem in Dumfries, we stayed in January and loved the quiet setting, the feeling of security and ease of access to all you need in the local area. Our hosts were really welcoming and the accommodation was super clean and comfortable. We were in Dumfries for a sporting event and during the week various friends and family visited the accommodation and were all equally impressed with the Coach House, commenting on how impressed they were and that this would be their first choice the next time they find themselves in Dumfries. We would have no hesitation in returning or in recommending this to other families. Thanks again for making our stay so memorable.
