About The Old Shop

In the coastal village of Carsethorn on the Solway Firth, The Old Shop offers self-catering accommodations with a spa bath in south-west Scotland. Around 1 hour’s drive from the border with England, it offers free parking and WiFi and is moments away from a cozy village pub. In the garden, it also offers accommodations for up to 4 in its centrally heated caravan, with a double bed, 2 single beds, shower room and kitchen facilities. There is a summerhouse where guests can relax. The Old Shop has direct access to the beach from its attractive garden. Just along the road, The Steamboat Inn serves a wide range of food including Scottish specialties, with a characterful bar and beer garden looking out across the sea. The Old Shop lies 20 miles east of Castle Douglas, a designated Food Town offering a wide choice of fine local produce in its shops and restaurants. The fishing town of Kirkcudbright has a number of art galleries just under 1 hour away, while nearby Dalbeattie provides the setting for exhilarating mountain-biking trails and the Bainloch Deer Park.
