This was our second year staying in Cross Cottage. We wanted to visit the areas/attractions around Gatehouse of Fleet we missed last year. The cottage is situated in a quiet, lovely part of the country. Suitable for 2 people. Very comfortable. However on arrival this year we noticed an unpleasant damp odour in the cottage which took an hour or so to clear with windows and doors open. I would still recommend staying in Cross Cottage.

Lovely, well appointed cottage in a beautiful, woodland, quiet location. Town centre and places of interest within easy reach. We have booked to come again in Spring.
