    The place was spotless and the views were absolutely stunning! In a quiet village location, the house was perfect. There were plenty of breakfast options available which made tough choices what to eat! The hosts were absolutely lovely.

The guest suite is part of a modern detached house with wonderful views of the countryside. Guests have access to a suite of rooms including a large bedroom, shower room, kitchenette (sink, kettle, microwave and toaster) and large sitting room. The bedroom can be made into a family room by requesting a cot or one single bed. Guests may use the patio and large garden. The host lives in the main house which has a connecting locked door to the property.
The property is situated 1.5 miles from the main A75 road and is 6 miles from the town of Dumfries and 10 miles from Castle Douglas. The property is only 5 minutes from the local hospital (which is to the west of Dumfries). We advise the guests have use of their own vehicle as buses pass only 4 times a day.
