Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kirklauchline cottage. The views were lovely and within a peaceful, relaxing setting. We slept like logs as no passing traffic and the cottage is quite modern inside with good wifi and even a smart TV. The kitchen has all the mod cons and there's plenty of hot water and heating if needed. Both our mobile phones worked well ( EE & Vodafone). Lots of interesting places to visit and all within a short drive. Overall a great place to holiday and would stay again.
