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.
