Probably the best cottage we've ever had for quality of cottage, location and scenery. Kirkcudbright is 6 miles away with all the local amenities and some lovely independent shops and cafés. Stunning scenery and country parks. Would love to go back again.

Great location for exploring that part of the coast.

Great location for exploring that part of the coast. Really cosy little cottage with everything needed for a lovely holiday. Hosts were very welcoming but not intrusive. Prit’s wildlife photos and Astro photography prints on the walls are stunning.
