Stunning views and stylish accommodation at Shorepark Cottage. | House in Bankend
3 Bedroom House in Bankend
Shorepark is a delightful waterside holiday cottage with stunning views, sitting just a stoneโs throw from the estuary of the River Nith on the edge of Glencaple village, within a National Scenic Area. The old part of the house was originally a fishermanโs cottage, thought to have been built in the 1700โs, giving this part an old-world feel with its original beams, reputed to be old shipsโ timbers. It has been extended in more recent times in a clean modern beach-house style, with a huge picture window giving a stunning panoramic view of the river, the birdlife, and the landscape beyond.
Picturesque Glencaple, with its old quayside on the tidal estuary of the River Nith, together with nearby Kingholm Quay, was the main seaport for the town of Dumfries back in sailing-ship days.
For those not travelling by car or motorcycle, there is a railway station at Dumfries, five miles away, from which Glencaple can be reached by bus or taxi.
