About Byre By The Sea

Byre by the Sea is a stunning self-catering property in a fantastic waterfront location on Ross Bay and a 5* rating. Look out of the windows to breathtaking views of the bay and the sheltering headland that makes it such a beautiful year-round holiday destination. The single-storey cottage sleeps four people in two bedrooms and like the owners other holiday homes, assures a high standard of guest comfort.

This cottage is one of a collection of beautiful self-catering properties on a private 500-acre farm. On a sunny day, you can sit in the garden and admire views of the northern fells of the Lake District National Park. City breaks may have their charms, but there is something wonderfully therapeutic about being by the water and surrounded by countryside. It is entirely possible to pack a picnic and head for places like Meikle Ross on foot, and not see another person for hours. Imagine - no traffic noise to mar the peace or light pollution to block spectacular views of the night sky.

Visitors to Ross Bay often remark on how peaceful the area is, and how unspoiled by hoards of day-trippers, even on a warm summer's day. Staying in a cottage that is just steps from the water lets you spend as long as you like outside whether you are relaxing with a book on a sunny day or combing the beach for treasure after a dramatic winter storm.

Nearby attractions offer something for guests of all ages, from the world-class trails at the 7Stanes mountain bike centre, to the opportunity to horse ride at Brighouse Bay, play golf or wander through beautiful gardens and admire the seasonal colour. Bird watchers will appreciate the many opportunities to add to their Twitcher's Diary. Kirkcudbright, Castle Douglas and Wigtown are all within easy reach.

Byre by the Sea is ideal for couples, families or friends who want a chance to get away from daily distractions and spend time together exploring this gorgeous part of Britain. Whether you want to fill your days with adrenaline-fuelled pursuits or leisurely lunches, you will leave feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world.
