"A well appointed, clean and comfortable cottage situated in rural Dumfries and Galloway. Lots to see and do within an hour or so''s drive including the Solway coast, Caerlaverock Castle, the Galloway Dark Sky centre and several medium size towns. Great walking country with both gentle countryside nearby and some more demanding fells. My teenage boys loved the games room and all in all we were delighted with this lovely cottage."
