What a beautiful place to stay. It’s so well designed, maximising the use of the space. Great quality furnishing and decoration, the Scandi style gives a really cosy feel. Well equipped with everything you need to make nice meals and clean up. The location is stunning, each window has a picture view and it is so peaceful to sit outside and listen to the countryside sounds. Only 15 minutes drive from Dumfries but great location for exploring this part of Scotland.
