Lovely cottage tucked up in the hills of Scotland not to far away from civilizations, caravan park over the road as well as a shop to buy all the essentials (washing up liquid & bog roll) haha, rooms are tidy and the place is very modern, plenty of space to relax and the surrounding area is phenomenal, a short drive to castle Douglas where there are plenty of shops, cafes and nice scottish people to meet and an even shorter drive to Gatehouse of Fleet where the Masonic Arms pub is to get lovely food. Will defo be coming back.

This cottage is excellent. Very well equipped and extremely comfortable. The owners are very helpful but are not intrusive. The rural location might not be everybody’s cup of tea but the situation the cottage is ideal for visiting the Rhinns and further afield. We will definitely be back. We have in fact now booked 2 weeks in 2020.
