    Very quiet location. Lovely having the living room for somewhere to relax once my daughter was asleep! They left a big box of toys out for her too.

    The accommodation is actually a large annexe to the main house, with its own private entrance into the sitting/dining area, with fabulous views out over the Scottish landscape, with sheep and cows grazing. Very quiet and peaceful and an ideal spot for a decent night’s sleep. The bedroom was huge and one of the comfiest beds ever! Everything was perfect, a home from home with everything you could possible need. Continental breakfast was provided with so much choice and was ready waiting for us when we checked in. We were en route to take the ferry from Cairnryan back to Ireland and it was around an hour and a half’s drive from the port, yet only a few minutes from the main A75. We were able to sit out in the garden and enjoy the sunshine when we arrived which was a bonus. We will definitely stay here again.

    Everything five star

    Everything about this property was first class. Stated that breakfast was included but we had tea last night and breakfast today with food that was allocated to us. . This is one of the best B + B I have used on booking.com. Went to the Robert Burns Cinema last night and watched a live stream from old Vic theatre in London. Flying visit but would imagine we will be back.
