About Smithy House

Smithy House is a detached cottage sitting along the main road in the village of Carrutherstown, Dumfries and Galloway. Formerly a blacksmith and post office, this property dates back to 1816, now offering a well-appointed holiday home for families and their canine companions.

After a day of exploring the Scottish coastline, relax in the lounge beside the woodburning stove, flicking on the Smart TV and searching for a favourite film. Linger in the contemporary kitchen and admire the skylight and integrated appliances.

Cook up a storm on the centre island before heading into the dining room to enjoy your culinary masterpiece. Here you can admire the flooring and traditional beams, each one carrying the story of the past, which is further enhanced by the Scottish theme decor.

Continue on to the utility, where you will find a dishwasher and washing machine to help you keep on top of the housekeeping. Four bedrooms offer a great night’s sleep, including a super-king-size with zip/link beds and two king-size bedrooms.

The family room is made up of three singles and is the perfect spot for little ones to relax after a day of adventures. Freshen up in either the bathroom or shower room, providing choice of freestanding bath or walk-in showers, before heading outside and enjoy a morning coffee within the garden space.

Why not return here in the evening and enjoy a lazy soak in the hot tub? Should you fancy a meal or evening tipple, make your way to Hetland Hall Hotel, just a couple of miles away, or head into the town of Annan, where you can sample local whisky at the Annandale Distillery or wander the high street and explore a range of locally run shops.

Mabie Farm Park - DG2 8EZ
about 9 Miles
Mabie Farm Park is a firm favourite. Ideal for families with younger children ,this family oriented farm park has lots of animals to meet and also offers Donkey Rides, Paddle Boats and Slides as well as Trampolines and Bouncy Castles. Kids can run around on the Soft Play Area while mum and dad relax in the Tea Room. There is also a Farm Shop onsite selling toys, gifts and fresh local produce including cakes and jams. Seasonal activities can also be enjoyed including a spookly tea and walk on Haloween. The Farm closes for the winter on October 31st.
Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery - CA3 8TP
about 20 Miles
This is a museum and art gallery in one and will suit those looking for an educational and cultural day out.  You can explore the fantastic art collection including Fine Art, Decorative Art and Textiles.  If you love nature then this aspect of Tullie House will appeal. The museum holds large and important collections of zoological, botanical and geological material. And for lovers of history there is plenty to wet your appetite here. Tullie House collects a wide range of historic materials including objects, ephemera (printed material), photographs and associated information files.  We think this museum and art gallery are excellent value for money as well.
Castle Douglas - DG7 1TJ
about 22 Miles
We also recommend a visit to Castle Douglas and the Treasure Hunt Treasure Trails. These treasure hunts are great fun for the whole family and are an entertaining way to explore a new town or village. Children will enjoy solving the clues whilst learning about the history of the area. The walking trail is suitable for wheelchair users and those with pushchairs so no one is left out of the fun.
Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 25 Miles
We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
