This is a lovely comfortable holiday apartment, v handy for the centre of Newton Stewart, it has everything you need for a great stay. Very well equipped, clean and tidy, comfy bed, and a wonderful terrace, overlooking the beautiful river, that catches the morning sun. Lots of wildlife to spot if you look carefully, including a white deer that came to the opposite river bank in the evening.
