Third visit to this house and reserved again for the same November period next year. The house is nicely located in a quiet area but with sea views. It has all the necessary facilities and has a good heating system which is good for the winter period. Beds are comfy with decent linen and new towels throughout. The house is not “posh” but comfortable , spacious and homely. There 2 of of plus a small dog but with space for few more guests. This part of Scotland is gorgeous but seemingly largely overlooked by tourists, ( we have been in the summer and it was not overly busy then) in in truth a lot of the touristy things are closed in winter but we don’t mind it that way. Cleve House and Gardens (National Trust) is a must as is another NT property Broughton House in Kirkcudbright which is quirky but interesting There are splendid walks from the house but you do to use a car as supermarkets and shops are within a reasonable driving commute
