Family Get Together OCT 2021

We have just returned from a wonderful stay in this beautiful cottage. We immediately felt at home and relaxed in the cottage which is even nicer than is shown in the photos. Big , spacious, clean, warm, all mod cons, ideal in every way for our annual family get together for all 6 of us. Lots of interesting places to visit within easy reach. Monreith Beach near Port William was a highlight. Also Whithorn, Wigtown and Port William itself. Although it was hard to drag ourselves away from the beautiful gardens surrounding the cottage. We will definately be re booking for next year.
Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2021
