This beautiful cottage was booked for a week 24th June to 1st July for three of us. Despite it being a little isolated the cottage is perfect in everyway. There is a BBQ and a wonderful hot-tub. The views are to die for, we wanted a week of peace and quite and that is what we got! There is a cute tree swing, and we met Mitzy the dog and played throwing the ball game. The owners Phil and Naomi are very friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend this cottage.

If you like tranquility then this is just the place. This was a return visit for us having originally visited in 2014. A beautiful cottage which was restored by the owners, who are also the most welcoming of hosts you could possibly imagine. (Along with Mitzi the dog who will keep any young children for a week of ball fetching!) Superbly furnished cottage with views to die for over the Solway Firth. There is also a zip wire and trampoline for children as well as a hot tub. A third visit will certainly be on the cards for us.
