Location

Quarrybank is within close proximity of Rockcliffe and the Solway Coast in South West Scotland, yet is still within easy reach of facilities in the nearby sailing village of Kippford, Dalbeattie, Castle Douglas and Dumfries. The coastal footpath to Kippford can easily be accessed from Sandyhills, Portling or Rockclffe, all about a mile away, while Colvend’s stunning 18 hole Golf course is close by.
Colvend is a charming village that offers an excellent village shop/delicatessen and public hall (with a Producer’s Market each month), and access to the footpath to the Lochs and Dalbeattie Forest. A visiting Post Office service is available in the village three days a week. Local residents can pay for the use of nearby Barend Holiday Park swimming pool. Colvend School supports the local community and the nearby town of Dalbeattie offers a number of amenities including secondary schooling, shops and cafes. From Dalbeattie, Dumfries is some 13 miles away, and offers a large range of facilities including a very good hospital and a university campus.
The South West of Scotland is well known for its mild climate, attractive unspoilt countryside and a wide range of outdoor pursuits. The Solway Coast is popular with sailors and nearby Kippford has safe moorings.
