We had a fabulous time at this beautiful property. It is in a perfect position for touring the area in Dumfries and Galloway. The internal of the property has been done to a very high standard. The owners were extremely pleasant and offered to help with anything that we needed. It was fascinating to watch the herds of cows from the balcony being moved from field to field on a daily basis. We will hopefully revisit this beautiful property in the future. Thanks to Andrea and Kev the owners.

We have just returned home from a lovely relaxing stay at The gin case. Hosts really looked after us well. We enjoyed welcome pack and the cottage really felt home from home. Especially liked watching the parade of cows at the bottom of the paddock every day going off for milking. The enclosed paddock was ideal for our 10 month old puppy to safety play in . I would definitely recommend this cottage to family and friends.
