The benefits of going self-catering are many, and certainly not limited to cost savings, although that is, of course, a factor worth considering. The ability to choose when to eat, maybe to have a late breakfast after a particularly wild night out, or on the contrary, perhaps an early start is of the essence, to catch a sunrise over the hills, or an early low tide to cross the sands to Rough Island for some birdwatching. The same applies in the evening, and of course, you have the choice between cooking up a great family meal yourself or visiting any of the great local restaurants and eateries.

Privacy and space are another big pluses. Especially if you are travelling with a large family or group, you don’t want to be cooped up in a hotel room or sharing public areas. In your own well-appointed fully self-contained, cottage there are no such problems. Another bonus is many properties welcome dogs, so your canine companion can enjoy the amazing walks and scenery as well. There is plenty of choices, and a range of sizes from 2-person cottages to larger houses sleeping 8 or more people. Whatever your choice, your Kippford holiday will be one to remember for all the right reasons, and hopefully, this will give you some ideas to work with. Check out our guide to Kippford.
