A new game for our collection. We really enjoyed Tenby – it has plenty of variety and gives you lots to think about without ever feeling overwhelming. There’s enough going on to keep us wanting to play again. Book a stay with us and you can discover it for yourself!

Switch Off and Slow Down. Arden Holiday Cottage is a rural escape, and part of our whole ethos is giving guests the chance to switch off from the online world and reconnect with each other and with nature. Come to Arden to disconnect from Wi-Fi and reconnect with everything else.

The South of Scotland Dark Sky Festival is running from the 9th to the 18th October 2026 & celebrates the start of dark sky season in Dumfries & Galloway and the Scottish Borders. We're ideally situated to take advantage of the events and the dark skies here!

🌟📖📚 Here's a snapshot of the bookish fun we've been having over the past few days at Wigtown Book Festival and there's still so much left to enjoy! lnkd.in/dESZAmgW

Who needs a lawnmower? Our cheeky pony Saffy thought she would help out by escaping into the cottage garden and giving it a nibble! Luckily she only has small feet so no large hoof prints! #ArdenHolidayCottage #SaffyThePony #ScotlandStartsHere

It's never too early to plan ahead for Christmas or Hogmanay. Why not book a festive break at Arden Holiday Cottage in Dumfries & Galloway. Situated in a beautiful country location perfect for country walks, bird watching or just relaxing by an open fire and playing board games!

It’s been fantastic recently to see all the baby swallows & house martins practising their flying - their parents hard work coming to fruition. A beautiful sight against the blue skies #ArdenHolidayCottage

We visited our favourite gaming cafe recently - The Treehouse in Sheffield and played some games. We really enjoyed these two games and bought them for our boardgaming bonanza package. It's a great way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon in Scotland! #BoardGames

Our outdoor guests - two swallow families, one at each end of the stables. With one set nearly ready to fledge hopefully

Just some of the many beautiful early morning sunrises we've seen at the cottage recently #ArdenHolidayCottage #Sunrises #DiscoverSouthScotland

Birdwatch update - our first brave wagtail has popped out of its nest to have a look for its parent with food! The babies don’t have the same markings as the adults until they are older. We'll be following their story as they grow #ArdenHolidayCottage

After nearly a year of waiting since backing Yonder, this was a very eagerly anticipated arrival — and thankfully, it didn’t disappoint. We’ve played it a few times already and love the clever, unusual worker placement, with different workers bringing their own special powers.

Well this weather has been a bit full on these last few weeks hasn't it? Hope everyone is coping ok. One bonus though is the beautiful sunsets we get to see over the cottage each day 😍 #ArdenHolidayCottage #Sunsets #ScotlandStartsHere

These amazing poetic sketches were put in the nature log book by some recent guests - aren't they beautiful? It's a great reminder of how much you can see while staying here at our cosy cottage. #ArdenHolidayCottage #GetOutside #ScotlandStartsHere #ScottishWildlife

So we eventually finished Murdle - a jigsaw and murder mystery rolled into one. The jigsaw was the tricky part as there was no image to follow. This is a great little puzzle to sink your teeth in if the weather during your stay at the cottage turns wet! #ArdenHolidayCottage

A very special visitor has chosen Arden as home this spring! A pied wagtail has built her nest in a plastic tub on a stable shelf and has now laid five beautiful eggs. We're looking forward to watching this little family grow over the coming weeks

No trip to UK Games Expo 2026 would be complete without bringing a few new games home! This year we added Azul Duel, UNO Skip-Bo and Yonder to Arden’s games collection, and we also discovered the upcoming Carcassonne Labyrinth, which we’re really excited to keep an eye on.
