We have had a really lovely holiday - a perfect place for quiet, rest and beautiful nature around you. The house was warm, comfortable and well equipped. The welcome pack was generous and the honey next door delicious. We had a warm welcome from all including local pubs and the community cafe. Also a perfect location if you love books - Wigtown is just a few miles away. We will definitely return.

This was our second stay at the property. The host Ray was extremely helpful and made us feel welcome. As well as Michelle who helps with looking after the house. The house has everything we needed and more. It perfect for a doggie too. The nearest big shops r 10 miles ish away. There r so many beautiful locations to explore close by. Can't wait for our next stay. So much history in the area. 😁

The house is large, which is why we booked it and situated in a lovely village with very good local amenities. However, the house was not clean. I had to wash out the fridge before using it, there were dirty oven trays left in the oven, the microwave had food stains, and the kitchen sink was grubby and needed bleaching.I contacted the owner to point these issues out and also that both double beds needed to be changed, there were hairs on the sheets, linen was smelly and the pillows were old and smelly. The housekeeper came round on a Saturday night to change the beds which was much appreciated, but couldn't do anything about the pillows without the owner agreeing. I messaged him, requesting new pillows and haven't heard back. The house could be really lovely, but needs some TLC and attention to detail.
