The cottage is beautifully decorated and has a courtyard and walled garden that guests can access. Owners were in contact with us before and throughout our stay and were available if needed. Cottage is filled with lovely touches and the owners also kindly left us some welcome treats. Handy for Wigtown and some of the distilleries in the area as welRead morel as Galloway Forest. Lors of guide books, brochures etc. In the cottage if needed too. We would definitely return if visiting the area again. Hide
