We've now opened our booking calendar until the end of June 2027, with plenty of availability for short breaks and longer holidays.

And what better time to visit Dumfries & Galloway?

For those who haven't stayed with us before, Apple Cottage is a spacious, dog-friendly holiday cottage in the pretty village of Bladnoch, just a short walk from Wigtown, Scotland's National Book Town.

🏡 What Apple Cottage offers:

- 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (including one downstairs)

- 2 comfortable sitting rooms and a lovely sunroom

- A very large, fully enclosed garden — ideal for children and dogs

- Walking distance to Bladnoch Distillery and café, the Bladnoch Inn and Wigtown's bookshops, cafés and shops

And there's so much to explore nearby! Beautiful beaches, coastal paths, forests and hills, fantastic walking and cycling, wonderful birdwatching around Wigtown Bay and plenty of fascinating local history.

Whether you're looking for a peaceful break, a family holiday or somewhere to explore this beautiful corner of Scotland, Apple Cottage makes a lovely base.

- Bookings are open until the end of June 2027!

Wow….. grass cutting and changeover at Apple, but look at the 🍐 pears. The storm hasn’t amounted to much in Bladnoch, the sun is out and it is dry🌞 Hopefully, the good weather will stay for the Wigtown Agricultural Show on Wednesday.
