The cottage makes an excellent base for exploring South West Scotland with its outstanding natural beauty of rolling hills, open countryside and wonderful woods and forests. Wildlife abounds throughout and can be enjoyed by all whilst taking walks or cycling through the Forestry Commission Woodlands or indeed at local reserves such as rspb Merserhead or Wildfowl Wetlands Trust at Caerlaverock.

Overpriced and disappointing. The flat is coy enough but some of the basics were missing. Dishwasher was provided but no tabs supplied; Crockery set was incomplete (for an apartment for 4 only three were provided) what there was was cracked and needed replaced: The freezer seal was split: the DVD player was provided with loads of discs, which would have been perfect in the wet weather, except it wasn't connected to the TV: shower fittings were rusted: the nice sofas shown in the brochure turned out to be cheap and uncomfortable wicker conservatory chairs. I love the location, but won't be using this agency again.

Primrose Cottage is well equipped with everything you need for a holiday. Really lovely comfy beds in delightful rooms. Alas the sitting area is not so comfortable but I do appreciate that finding really comfy small sofas is difficult. The owner John couldn’t be more helpful and kind.
