Spacious, clean, warm and reasonably comfortable house in stunning location.
Spacious, clean, warm and reasonably comfortable house in stunning location. Very handy for The Boathouse and Caerlaverock castle. Excellent for dogs as the huge garden is securely fenced.
A few more fittings like hooks in the bathroom and mirrors in all the bedrooms would have made it even more comfortable. Similarly a few more kitchen accessories like bowls and serving platters a cafetière, and some cooking aids - would have been welcome. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely cottage, in stunning location.
Lovely cottage, in stunning location. First cottage we've been that didn't have a welcome pack. Log burner wouldn't light due to damp wood. Could do with more glasses. We did have a fabulous week's holiday and would consider going again.
