House very comfortable in every respect and well equipped. The views from the front windows were lovely and I particularly enjoyed watching the changing skies and tides. Very handy for all the local sights and attractions.
Graham
It is well appointed, cosy, warm and very comfortable. The views across the Solway are absolutely stunning, especially early in the morning and in the evening. Powfoot is a lovely village, the community do genuinely welcome visitors Recommended places to visit: Mersehead RSPB reserve, Lochmaben, The Hermitage, and Burnswark Hill Fort, to name but a few. We will be returning!

The parking space at the back is a bit fiddly to access if your car is slightly bigger than average but it was easy to park at the front either on the grass or the road. The downstairs toilet is better suited to children as it is quite cramped and its easy to bang your head. The hot tap in the kitchen turns the wrong way so you do need to be aware of that. Most plumbers follow a protocol for taps so not sure how this has happened. If you have a dog they will love the beach which is only a few steps from the door. Very close to Dumfries and Galloway and Carlisle and the North lakes. I would be happy to stay here again if we ever wanted to revisit this area.
