Shorepark is a delightful waterside holiday cottage with stunning views, sitting just a stone’s 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 fisherman’s cottage, thought to have been built in the 1700’s, giving this part an old-world feel with its original beams, reputed to be old ships’ 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.
Only 5 miles from the amenities of Dumfries, it is a charming and peaceful place, and is an ideal base from which to explore Dumfries & Galloway, which is a beautiful, remarkably uncrowded and unspoiled part of Scotland.
Shorepark Cottage on the edge of Glencaple village sleeps up to 6 people very comfortably in three bedrooms. It has a fascinating character: modern in the newer part, but with an older feel in the original 18th century part.
