Pleasant stay. Thank you :-)

Very peaceful location in beautiful countryside. Nice cottage, well equipped, cosy and clean. Only one issue - water flow from shower head rather weak.

Family History

I came to see where my ancestors came from before going to Australia. The village of Dalmellington was just as I imagined, very quaint.

Cosy cottage in nice location

The property was clean and comfortable and suited us well for a short stay. We did a lovely walk into the surrounding hills straight from the house. Would benefit from a few small improvements, e.g. more cutlery and other kitchen equipment, but no major issues.

Loch Doon cycling trip

Great place in a beautiful location. Really enjoyed relaxing by the open fire after a day on the bike at Loch Doon. Hosts were very friendly would recommend.
