We love this property and have been many times with both my family and my wifes family. It has 5 good sized bedroom that fit us in perfectly. The two sittings rooms are perfect, they allow for us to have the kids playing in one area and a quieter reading area for the adults. The location of the house is great, with excellent views of the surroundinRead moreg area. There is a lovely 20 -30 minute walk (with children) into the village, which has some lovely shops and cafes. Hide

We go away as a family of 10 every year, and this is undoubtedly the best rental we have ever had. Beautifully decorated, comfy beds, well equipped - not just in the kitchen, but in the garden, and toy/game provision. We had dinner outside every evening except our last, when we went to The Ship Inn's beer garden for a lovely meal. (Go before 6, andRead more you can still eat off the cheaper lunch menu). Some walked, some cycled and some drove to the easily accessible village. Great centre for touring. Hide

A lovely cottage in a great location. Extremely well equipped kitchen with everything you could need for a large family group. Garden was a big hit with the children who loved playing hide and seek. Bedding and towels were good quality and beach towels were provided too which is a rarity. Overall, a fabulous stay.

A beautiful, cozy, charming cottage set in idyllic surroundings. The beds were also super comfortable! Location couldnt be better, walking distance to Gatehouse of Fleet and beautiful woodland walks on your doorstep. Easy access to explore the rest of Dumfries and Galloway, we couldnt have been happier with our choice.

This was a wonderful well equipped place to enjoy a family gathering. We all loved the spacious garden enabling games such as boules and kids' water fights and the well thought about little "doors" through the hedge were a delight for the children. A great location for exploring the beautiful area.
