We had a brilliant stay at Gin Case. The accommodation is extremely well designed and is spotlessly clean. The facilities are excellent and the views from the balcony are fantastic. It's quite secluded and peaceful (which we prefer) so no local amenities, but Dumfries is less that 10 miles away. The welcome we received from Kevin was excellent - he talked us through all the details about the cottage and suggested places we could visit. The welcome pack was great too.

Definitely one of the cleanest cottages we've stayed in. The Gin Case is a tastefully decorated and furnished cottage in the middle of the Scottish countryside. The upstairs lounge has the balcony which is perfect for sitting on and taking in the beautiful surroundings. If you're looking for peace and quiet, this is perfect. The cottage is well stocked with everything you'll need for cooking, cleaning and also basics such as salt, pepper and oil. The owners live next door and welcomed us with a tour of the cottage and were available for anything that we should need - a lovely chatty family, who all made us feel very welcome. In front of the cottage is a large, enclosed paddock, which was prefect for our dog and would make an ideal safe area for children to play in. We had a great week staying at the Gin Case and will definitely return.
