Property Description
Minimum stay three nights. The Flat at Glencaple offers very comfortable and cosy ground floor accommodation for two in the heart of the village. Built in the early 19th century, it has been renovated to a very high standard. Living room has a wood burning stove as well as efficient electric heating so you'll be warm and cosy. Lovely riverside views from the living room and bedroom. Free WiFi is available. Situated on the Burns and Solway Coast Heritage Trails it is only a few miles from the Wildfowl and Wetlands Reserve at Caerlaverock. In winter Barnacle geese fly past your window morning and evening and other geese, wildfowl and ducks can be seen on the river. Otters are often spotted nearby and in summertime porpoises and seals have been seen on the river. This area is a nature lover's paradise (BBC's "Autumn Watch" broadcast from here in 2015). Also well-placed for gentle walking, cycling, fishing, sightseeing and relaxing. Lovely beaches are only half an hour's drive away and Caerlaverock Castle is just up the road. Galloway Forest Park was the first Dark Sky Park in the UK - in winter it gets dark quite early so you could get there, star gaze, and back before it gets too late!
Glencaple has a very busy cafe and shop (The Boathouse), and popular hotel (The Nith) serving lunches and dinners all year round - both just around the corner from the Flat. Go to www.caerlaverock.org.uk for more information about the area. Dumfries has several excellent restaurants including Home (recently reviewed by Grace Dent in the Guardian) and The Globe, established in 1610 with Head Chef and Sous Chef having combined one and two star Michelin experience.

Good little cottage
We enjoyed our stay in the little apartment. It was in a great location for exploring the local area. It was well stocked with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The only thing that let it down was that some of the crockery was quite worn & chipped. We had to wash it all before use as there were still remnants from previous guest's food which was disappointing.

Excellent apartment
Lovely location and awesome views. Property was very comfortable and cosy. We're allergic to feathers so Sue made sure there were no issues. She took great care to think of our wellbeing. We are an older couple so comfort and ease of getting around the flat are important to us. The flat was well equipped and tastefully decorated. Thanks fir a lovely stay.

Nice for two
Nice wee flat with bonus of having a sunny little garden at the back. Didn't need to use the burner at this time of year but bet it will make the place very cosy and snug in Winter.The bed felt very hard but was surprisingly comfortable!

Great Cottage, Relaxing Location
We arrived at the cottage at the tail end of a 3 week trip in Scotland and I was coming down with an illness. But staying in the quiet and well appointed row house was the antidote I needed: super quiet; great kitchen, bed, and garden. We would absolutely book again. Caeleverlock Castle was fabulous.

Glencaple holiday
We had the most beautiful stay in Sues flat! Location was so perfect, near the pub and the cafe, and walk out the door and there are stunning views all day, but amazing sunrises. Also only a short drive into Dumfries for any shopping. The flat was very spacious for the two of us and it had everything we needed! Thanks for having us Sue, will definitely recommend this place and be back again!

Estuary Retreat
Cosy flat. Everything you need is here. Very helpful. Just the ticket. Hearing the Geese coming into roost was fantastic.
