Lovely cottage, we found it difficult going up and down the stairs to use the toilet in the night. We did need easier access to a freezer and tumble dryer. The cottage was spotless and well equipped. Arrived to find lovely fresh flowers and a bar of Scottish tablet.

First time in Scotland and Dumfries , The cottage was in a lovely location with lovely views ,not far from the sea .The cottage was spotless ,and comfortable we loved the conservatory to relax in .The garden was dog proof ,luckily the youngest in our party knew how to work the microwave and cooker .Fish and chips wonderful in Dalbeattie and we now know that there is a garden centre open on a Sunday where you can have refreshments and find toilets with a dog friendly area just south of Dalbeatie .Would certainly go again .Thank you !
