An amazing stay in this gorgeous property. Lovely extra touch with a hamper for us and for the dog thank you! The garden was a dream with all the wildlife visiting and luckily we had perfect weather for exploring the local area. Would recommend a visit to nearby town Kirkcudbright and to The Steamboat Inn for a Sunday Roast!

This cottage offers an excellent location for a relaxing stay. The amenities are within easy reach and if you are a walker/hiker, then this is the perfect spot. My dog not only enjoyed the long walks, but also swimming in the sea and attempting to stalk some of the many rabbits in the area, but he failed with every attempt. There is an abundance ofRead more wildlife, so if you interested in spotting the different species, then an early rise is recommended, as this is a good challenge. We will return. Hide
