Really beautiful cottage. Spotless clean and beautiful decor throughout. All you could need for a great stay away from home! The hot tub was amazing, it’s under a lean-to, so although the weather was scorching, if it had tipped it down you could still enjoy it. The enclosed garden is massive - the pictures don’t do it justice. Loads of space for frisby and ball games and the dog had a huge amount of space to potter around safely. Beds and pillows are comfy. Thank the Lord for hosts who provide pillows that aren’t the width of a tortilla wrap and nice fluffy towels haha! Loads of gorgeous extras are left for guests like Prosecco and tablet as a welcome, some cookies in the jar, sugar tea and coffee. There were cleaning products under the sink and a brand new washing machine. For a 38 year old woman there is nothing nicer than a washing machine and the chance to get it dry on the outside rotary airer, nobody likes to turn into widow twanky when they get home doing mountains of washing. Our little boy has additional needs and epilepsy so having the hospital so close was a massive comfort. There is some traffic noise but not much. We visited Threave Gardens, Ernespie Farm and the red kite feeding station which was phenomenal (feeding is at 2pm). We had a ride out to Sandyhills Beach and Mossyard Beach which was absolutely gorgeous! We had some Doodle Bugs (cockchafers) knock on the back patio door late at night. I was amazed by them!

Great cottage in a great location to visit north of England or south Of Scotland. All possible equipment etc provided, even wood for the fire which we didn’t use.Large secure garden perfect for our dog to investigate and hot tub was great. Recommend the Sunday Roast at Kilnford Farm Shop and Restaurant just a minutes walk away.Thanks.
