The cottage was lovely I a quiet area just outside dalbeattie. The hosts were lovely my dog loved the enclosed garden. And his walks in the woods and beaches in the area. The cottage has everything around and in all the cupboards . Washing was a great asset I will be back.

We absolutely loved Swallow Cottage . It had everything we needed and was very comfortable . We loved sitting in the conservatory , which caught all of the sun , watching the red kite soaring in the sky and we were lucky enough to see a deer in the neighbouring field one morning . Swallow Cottage was about 5 minutes drive from Dalbeattie where there is a Co op and Spar and about 15 minute drive to Castle Douglas where there is an Aldi and bigger Tesco . We loved our visit to the Loch Arthur farm shop at Beeswing and enjoyed a lovely lunch .... well recommended. Rhona was lovely .... left us to get on with our stay but close by if we needed anything . Thank you for our welcome pack too ! We just had a very relaxed holiday at Swallow Cottage and would certainly go back again .
