Beautiful country cottage with stunning views of Solway Firth. Family had an amazing experience and feeding the animals was an added bonus. We also went on a deer safari nearby which was fantastic. Highly recommend this cottage and this part of the country.

Our 2 night stay was excellent. Beautiful house in a lovely quiet area just a few miles to the coast and with lovely scenery. Emily our host was very welcoming and friendly. The garden area was well kept with plenty outside space. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful converted old dairy barn, had a very nice & cosy log burner which was lovely in the evening when the weather was terrible ( wind & rain) The owner Emily was a lovely host & left us a big basket of free range eggs, she couldn't do enough for us & came over if we needed anything straight away. The photos are of a couple of castles we visited during our stay which aren't that far away.
