Fantastic location, with great walks from the door. Good places to eat in nearby Kirkcudbright and Castle Douglas and fabulous take away fish and chips from the local store in Auchencairn. We had a great time walking and cycling in the area and enjoyed coming back to enjoy the sea views from the cottage.

Lovely hosts and location for us, very quiet. Everything you could need .. literally the only thing missing was an outdoor brolly which would be lovely in this weather. Think hosts are sorting that out 😊Already booked our return visit
