An excellent cottage well presented, very clean and having everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The view was lovely and it was very quite and peaceful. Ideal for our small dog with walks along the roads with very little traffic and onto the fields.Plenty of places within easy driving range which were well worth a visit, including Biggar, Peebles, Moffat and New Lanark.A thoroughly enjoyable 4 days and would certainly look to go again in the future
