Boasting a charming and high-quality interior and with excellent outdoor opportunities from your doorstep, make this your base for a wonderful rural retreat. Step into this whitewashed property and head left into a light and airy kitchen/diner; it comes very well-equipped with appliances of the highest quality, also providing a lovely wooden dining table and a leather sofa so you can sit and relax while your meals simmer away.

It is spacious, very clean, well maintained and tastefully decorated and furnished and well equipped.Toasty warm in winter. The recent addition of Wi-Fi was appreciated. Home from home, we could live here! This property is a credit to its owners.

Like another person said would have been nice to have a small starter pack milk, tea, coffee most places we have stayed there is always milk in the fridge. There is so much to do and see in this area, Dalbeattie has plenty of shops and a few pubs and restaurants.
