The cottage was warm and clean, and all that we needed was provided. There was plenty to vist in the area, but also the opportunity to chill out and relax.

Beautiful cottage and settings. Lots of lovely walks along the beach or into the countryside. Ideal for anyone who wants to switch off and get away as it is very peaceful. There is no pub in the village but you don't have to travel too far to find one. Lovely eating places in the isle of Whithorn and garlieston. Would highly recommend
