Allonby Cottage, Kippford - Images
The cottage was built originally in 1896 and consisted then simply of a “two up and two down.” The Kippford front and Allonby Cottage were clearly photogenic back then and feature on many post-cards through the years. We think it kept its original shape until 1975, when a local doctor purchased it, and added the large kitchen, a further bedroom, a workshop and re-directed the stairs. We’re reliably informed that dynamite was used to blast out the Kippford granite to clear room for the kitchen!
The sitting room has lovely views out over the Urr Estuary and beyond to the Galloway Hills.
Comfy sofa and arm chairs, books, TV with DVD and stereo make this a great room to relax in.
The Sitting Room opens out in to a porch, to the front of the house, with chairs and an even better panorama of Kippford and beyond.
The shaker style kitchen is bright and airy looks out on to the garden.
It has all you need and contains a dining table large enough for a full house
Gas hob, electric oven, microwave and fridge/freezer. Highchair available.
This is a lovely and light room to the front of the house. Double bed with built in wardrobe and chest of drawers. This room has great views out across the Urr Estuary.
By using just this room, with its attached WC and the downstairs shower room the Cottage becomes intimate enough for a couple to enjoy.
This is a delightful room that is ideal for two children or two adults sharing. The view speaks for itself!
Two comfortable single beds and chest of drawers
You can lie in bed with a cup of tea in the morning and watch "Kippford TV": boats, otters, birds and the ever changing scenery.
Double bed with chest of drawers and built in wardrobe. This is a lovely, comfortable room.
Upstairs there is a cosy bedroom over-looking the rear garden.
Generally made up with a single "cabin bed" it can be expanded to a double bed, if required. There is a built in wardrobe.
In addition to the downstairs wc and shower room, upstairs is the family bathroom with WC, wash basin and bath.
The bath has a shower fitting.
