Ideal location. You are in the middle of the countryside but within a 5 minute drive of Dumfries. The property was large and comfortable. It gave a homely feel.

We had an absolutely wonderful time. The weather was not so great but the house was fully equipped to make it cosy warm and very comfortable. The house itself is amazing and overlooking the water which was very picturesque. We had 10 people for a 60th birthday family get together and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The log fire kept us all warm and hypnotised by its sheer beauty and the house has heating also along with an agga in the kitchen which was amazing to prepare the large family meals which we could all enjoy together both on the very large kitchen table or the dining room. Everything you would ever need was available, shops very close by, small corner shop in Hollywood and tescos superstore a 5 minute drive into Dumfries. Perfect in every way. Owner left contact number in case of any problems which there were none. We are looking forward to booking again in the new year and making it a yearly get together, maybe with some sunshine next time 🤣
