Loved our stay. Expected it to be isolated, and it was. Not much around without driving every day and bus service extremely limited.Beautiful scenery and the coast very interesting.Cottage was lovely and a great base to return to. Well equipped, comfortable, and we took the owners advice to buy food from Newton Stewart before arriving which was very helpful.Our first time in Dumfries and Galloway and it didn't disappoint.

We had a wonderful week at Culbae. The cottage is very spacious and has been renovated to a high standard. The wrap around garden was perfect for our dog and it was lovely to see all the birds around and about and coos passing by one morning.The location is ideal for exploring the Machar Peninsula. We hope to return to Culbae next year unless we relocate to the area first!Thank you Sian and Ian for creating such an amazing getaway. All the best Jane, Nigel and Seth **
