A week over the New Year at this delightful house which is spacious and was clean and warm.
A week over the New Year at this delightful house which is spacious and was clean and warm. Communications with the owners were excellent both before and after arrival. There is a village shop with good opening hours within 5mins walk. The house is well-located on the edge of New Galloway. Highly recommended.
