we have loved our stay, peaceful and relaxing, nice welcome basket which our young man loved. The beds were really comfortable with cosy bedding and extra blankets. The farmers were very friendly and took time to chat and open gates for us. Lovely to see the lambs hopping around outside and the bulls lounging in the field.

The cottage was perfect for us (6 adults, 2 children and a toddler). The living room and kitchen were large enough for all of us and the 4 bedrooms were very comfortable. The cottage is well equipped and warm and has great views over the surrounding countryside. We had terrible weather but still managed out to nearby Dumfries House and Ayr seafront.The many sheep in the field next to the cottage did not produce any lambs during our stay but the children loved to look out to check on them anyway!The location was perfect for us (Ardrishaig, Belfast and Leeds) and we hope to return again.
