Lovely little place all on ground floor, very well equipped and lovely welcome pack. About 10 mins drive into castle Douglas.. Lovely little back garden so peaceful and all the little birds in the garden was so lovely to watch.. 24/7 heating on for you was like a little oven when we arrived.. Lovely friendly owners.. Couldn't fault it at all.. Would highly reccomend

Lovely cottage in a rural setting yet only 10 minutes from civilisation. Very clean and comfortable. Needs modernising inside but that is reflected in the reasonable pricing. Only negative for us was the faint smell.of stale urine in main bedroom.
