Youâre made to feel welcome as soon as you arrive. Fresh eggs from the farm were delicious. The kitchen is really equipped for cooking a meal. The garden was perfect for our two boxers dogs. There was sheep and lamb in the field right next to us so we got to watch the lambs playing around most mornings. The beds were comfortable and the whole cottage was clean/spotless. We all felt right at home. The weather wasnât the best but we made the most of it and hopefully can return in the summer. If not for the rain I would have been in the garden most of the time. We went to the Thornhill inn for dinner one night which was great pub grub food. Not far from the cottage only about 15/20 mins. We also drove to Sandyhills beach one day with was about an hour away. But worth the drive even if it did rain. The beach was lovely and the dogs had a blast. We went for dinner to the birchtree hotel when we left sandyhills and the meal was amazing. Must visit if your heading down there. We will defo visit again soon. Thanks to Pauline and Derek for being amazing hosts. Kelly Kev Charley & The Girls Tilly Billie xx

Well furnished and very comfortable. The enclosed garden was great even for a larger dog as I have a German Shepherd so I could relax with her sniffing around the garden.The location is very scenic with only the sheep and pheasants in the neighbouring fields. Added bonus was a trip to the farm with Pauline the owner to see the newborn lambs, definitely the highlight for me. Canât wait to visit again.
