It is quite possible to holiday at Kirkennan without a car by either using local buses or hiring bikes. Taxis can normally be found at the station forecourt in Dumfries and can bring you to Kirkennan in about 30 minutes (cost in 2015 £20-£35 approx). Alternatively you can take a bus to Dalbeattie and then another bus that heads to Auchencairn and request the driver to drop you at the gate. It is possible to arrange a local supermarket to deliver most of your food supplies and anything extra can be bought at Palnackie community shop (walking distance).
