Another fantastic stay here. Really warm and comfortable cottage with very friendly hosts. Nice river walk close to the cottage. Access to the Cateran trail, 5 to 10 min walk from cottage also.Local shop in Kirkmichael is reasonably well stocked and is about a 3 mile walk (joining the cataran trail)The cottage is very clean. It has a really comfortable bed with a nice quality duvet. Log burner is fantastic for a winters break and a good supply of logs included in the price which we were thankful for.We will be booking again for sure.
