Kirkcudbright self-catering holidays

Immerse yourself in artistic heritage...
Kirkcudbright town is renowned for its artistic heritage and creative spirit, affectionately referred to as "The Artists' Town" and the "St Ives of Scotland". The town has been a magnet for artists since the 19th century, attracted by its charming architecture, incredible views and enchanting setting on the banks of the River Dee estuary. As you wander around the picturesque streets, you'll encounter numerous art galleries and studios showcasing the work of local artists, including the Tolbooth Art Centre, which hosts exhibitions and workshops throughout the year. Be inspired by all that Kirkcudbright has to offer on your next UK break.

Explore natural beauty...
A stay in a Kirkcudbright holiday park allows you to explore both stunning coastline and beautiful countryside, from sandy beaches to rolling hills. Nearby Galloway Forest Park, one of the largest forests in Britain, is a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, and the Galloway Hills boast incredible hiking, mountain biking and wildlife watching opportunities. If sandy beaches and rugged coastal walks are more your thing, then the nearby Solway Coast can deliver. A designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Special Protection Area and Ramsar site, it's known as a birdwatching paradise, with a variety of migratory and overwintering birds. We have a diverse range of properties in Kirkcudbright and the surrounding area, providing the ideal base to explore this captivating part of South West Scotland.

Admire stunning architecture...
One of Kirkcudbright's biggest draws is its incredible architecture, from the pretty pastel coloured houses along the waterfront to the historic buildings in the town centre. Highlights include MacLellan's Castle, an iconic 16th-century tower house; Greyfriars Church, a striking red sandstone church with a distinctive spire; and Old Tolbooth, which once served as the town's administrative centre and marketplace. Learn more about the town's culture, history and heritage with a trip to the Stewartry Museum, a historic landmark in its own right. All of these sites are just a short stroll from one another, so you can explore at your own pace, popping into cosy cafes and traditional pubs along the way. Whether you're staying in the centre, near the harbour or on the outskirts of town just a short drive away, we have some lovely self-catering properties ready to welcome you for a wonderful stay in Kirkcudbright.
