Relax with the whole family at this cosy 3 bedroom semi-detached cottage with a large enclosed garden. Rural spacious cottage with a home from home feel, out looking into the the picturesque countryside. Enjoy the peaceful countryside or take a short drive to one of the many local town , Dalbeattie, Castle Douglas or Dumfries to see what this beautiful area has to offer. Also on a local bus route and cycle route.
My name is Janice and I live in the joining cottage with my husband Andrew on our family farm that we work on along with our son and his family. We have enjoyed getting Barnbackle Cottage ready for our guests to enjoy.
