Thank you for enabling six of us to have a another wonderful time at Arakhova which we all thoroughly enjoyed revisiting again after a gap of several years. The facilities remain excellent and so of course is the location which is a good centre both for local and further afield activities. As well as exploring Kirkcudbright, we particularly enjoyed checking for squirrels in Barhill Wood and visiting Threave Garden, Gatehouse, etc. etc. We hope to return.
