The Old Fish House

Everybody loves The Old Fish House! With stunning river views it is a beautiful and peaceful cottage, yet a three minute walk from the nearest shop and the harbour. It is a great and relaxing base to enjoy the culture, coastal scenery or walking around the area. The house is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, families and we love well behaved dogs. There is a staircase between kitchen/diner and lounge so the cottage may not be ideal for children under 4 years old.

All about Kirkcudbright

Located on the Dumfries and Galloway coast at the mouth of the River Dee, Kirkcudbright (pronounced kir–coo–bree) is known as Scotland’s art town, a popular destination for creatives as well as cyclists, equestrians, golfers, hikers, and anglers. The lifeblood of this coastal community is the harbour and the countless tiny scenes that play out around it: boats rocking in the waves as fishermen unfurl their nets, seagulls swoop overhead, swans glide past castles, and cattle graze on the hills beyond. Kirkcudbright’s white-washed stone cottages and shops have hosted artists and crafters for centuries, while the region is a place for outdoor enthusiasts to explore the land, water, and even the sky at the local planetarium. Festivals and local markets are plentiful in Kirkcudbright, as well as cafés, tearooms, pubs, and restaurants.
