If you are after a big accommodation near the beach, with ostriches and llamas, hundred years old garden and trees and no near neighbors except the owners...this is for you. Perfect base to explore Kirkbean and Dumfries. Not very far from everything.You are given all opportunity to just be there but if you need help, Alistair is always ready to assist. You will have everything you will need. The only thing I can comment is that the showers are a bit tricky to use as they are all in a tub. My group loved our stay. Thank you.

Our stay

We had a good week at the property, it is a bit remote and shopping for food best done before you arrive at property or in larger village shops! Lovely gardens and beach for the kids, a bit rocky but kids loved looking in rock pools. The accommodation itself was spotless, very well stocked with kitchen equipment and appliances, we had the two cottages which made up the stables, so 2 kitchen and lounge areas, we tended to use the larger kitchen for eating and the smaller cottage lounge as it was more open and better laid out! Only issues was with the wood burner and the downstairs toilet, both were attended to quickly! Overall good standard of accommodation!
