. The cottage was spotless and it is very comfortable. There is lots of room in the comfortable lounge and all the furniture is good quality .The kitchen and utility is stocked with good quality white goods. AEG/Smeg.The surrounding area is very quiet and the gardens are a credit to the owner. There is not much to do in the town itself although it does possess a very nice park.. Access to Galloway Forest is easy and the area has many good walks. There is plenty of space for parking. On arriving along the narrow lane turn right at the chained off lane.. It looks as though it is not an entry point but it is.
