Just fabulous, perfect for a large get together (dining table is enormous!!). Loved wandering the grounds, playing football, rugby, French cricket, croquet, hide and seek. So comfortable and great to come back to after exploring all the gorgeous beaches, ancient villages and Dumfries town.
The house is fantastic, can sleep up to 18 people easily and has a super well-stocked kitchen and beautiful grounds. A wonderful place to spend time in a large group and the nursery next door is beautiful. highly recommended especially for families and big group stays!
We rented this house for our family to stay and celebrate a family birthday it had everything we needed we had a wonderful time the kids had a ball. Beautiful house beautiful grounds Thank you
Lovely Character Property 5 of 5 We are coming to the end of a very enjoyable New Year Break - our group of 14 friends have holidayed away at New Year for over 20 years and this is one of the nicest well equipped houses we have stayed in. The owner is very welcoming and helpful. We have all had a wonderful stay I a very beautiful house that is full of character in beautiful grounds. An extra shower or two would be a welcome addition but other than that the house was perfect.

Yes, two extra showers are planned and should be installed early in 2018. This is intended to include an extra bathroom hence bringing the total to five. We were so glad that the weather on New Years Eve was mild, clear & calm so that the guests were able to enjoy their fireworks outside rather than watching through the front windows.
All members of our party were impressed with this place including our device dependent young people. The drive from the main road is two miles down a virtually deserted country lane with passing places if you encounter the occasional deer (which we did!). This place has history and a tangible atmosphere as soon as you arrive. It has lots of cubby holes, corridors and stairways. The owners have spent their money in the right places and purchased good mattresses, quality bedding and equipped the place with things way beyond what you might expect. Each room has a character and atmosphere of its own (the photographs do not do it justice). The courtyard garden is really lovely. It’s large but secure so helpful if you have small children. I saw so many different birds including Red Kites and Herons as well as deer and lots of rabbits. The land surrounding the house moves from highly manicured lawns through to areas that are more reminiscent of the secret garden with very old trees, overgrown archways and little tumbled down outbuildings. Within easy reach there are quaint small villages, large towns, grand castles, almost deserted beaches and beautiful landscapes to explore. Cycling and walking trails are good. We were impressed by the owners willingness to assist one of our party who had restricted mobility and the downstairs walk in shower was really helpful. Will always remember waking up early one morning and witnessing the mist roll over the fields at dawn. Review Submitted: 04-Sep-2016 Date of Stay: August 2016 Source: Owners Direct, from HomeAway
