Warm and well equipped. Garden ideal for the dog. Would be very happy to book again. Gatehouse of Fleet is the ideal location. Good facilities lots of walks on the doorstep. Central for exploring Dumfries and Galloway.

It is very warm and cozy.our only problem was the TV,we could get the apps ect but couldn't get a signal for normal television programmes. The instructions for one remote didn't match the remote provided and therefore No Signal on TV screen. But it made a nice change not watching TV,reading,talking, puzzles etc instead. A lovely holiday once again,great cottage and location.

Wi-fi password needs updating in book and on website Downstairs curtain falls off (it actually fell down onto my niece, she got 2 black eyes and a bruised nose) There were chipped cups and a cracked glass in the cupboard. Could do with a few more mugs. Bathroom tile is cracked and one of the silicone strips has a loose loop (my Mum caught her foot in this, she feel backwards and slashed 2 of her toes and bruised her ankle) No fire starter pack (only a bundle of magazines/papers, 1 log and 1 firelighter) I don't consider this as a starter pack! No washing line, we bought one There's a loop on the back door seal, another potential trip hazzard Porch setee - certainly past it's best, not suitable to sit on
