The area is unspoilt, the scenery idyllic, and the seascapes around the Rhins as dramatic as they are beautiful.

Good for a short break to take in the Mull of Galloway and other local attractions like Logan Botanic Gardens. The house is fairly basic but has the necessary items for cooking and eating in. There is no wardrobe space at all so we laid clothes flat on one of the unused beds or hung them up on the coat rails. Main bonus was that pets were accepted and I really liked the rear conservatory and spent most of my time there when in the house. There is a decent sized rear garden but only closed off on the one side.
