Colin Simpson
A really nice and peaceful setting for this very comfortable and well equipped ground floor apartment. We very much appreciated the friendly greeting from the owners and the welcome pack was first class. I even found a welcoming dry spot in the garden to enjoy a good cigar and a glass of glenmorangie! A wonderful base for exploring the beauty of Southern Scotland.

Fantastic week break in a stunning converted church. Great garden area and all we needed for cooking in the kitchen. Large bathroom with shower and washer for the smelly walking clothes. George was very helpful showing us around and pointing out places of interest to visit.
