This is a lovely, clean and very comfortable cottage. The garden is very pretty and private. There is also an indoor garden in the conservatory, which was a lovely surprise. The local shop is just a few hundred yards down the road, which the family also own and run, which is very convenient. Sandyhills beach and Dalbeattie forest are just a short drive away for great days out. Fully recommend.
