Beautiful, well presented, well equipped, comfortable, cosy cottage. Situated in a lovely village which has a lovely community spirit. Wonderful well stocked, very handy shop and post office close by. Pub and cafe in the village and an italian restaurant. Lovely walks around the village which is steeped in history and walks further afield. Can access all over Dumfries and Galloway, stunning landscape and scenery all around. Lovely places to visit both coastal and inland.
