It is the perfect base for visiting Galloway and surrounding area. The bed is comfortable, the bed is tight in the bedroom, as shown by the photos but dont think a lot can be done about that. I hit my toes on bed leg as I was getting into bed and it hurts but I learnt to be careful lol. I wanted for nothing more in the kitchen, everything was there. We visited both The Clachen and Lochinvar Hotel both were excellent. We went to see The Red Deer Range and fed the deers (they love carrots) and saw the Wild Goats. Raiders Road and Otters Pool well worth a visit. Also as a Liverpool supporter went to Glen Buck where Bill Shankly was born. Would we come back to Edge Hill.....you bet we would. Thank you for the treats you left us.
