Extremely spacious three bedroom apartment, which is superbly well equipped (such as all the kitchen stuff you could ever need, lots of books, board games, smart TV etc). Amazing views out over the sea on one side and out over the gardens to the hills on another side. The property has access to a large garden too. One of the reasons we chose this place was that it is pet-friendly, so I could bring my dog with me.We spent most of the week walking the local beaches and forests, and visiting various villages (Kippford, which has a good cafe, Rockcliffe and New Abbey being our favourites). Nearby Londis shop at Colvend came in handy, and we went to Castle Douglas for the Tesco supermarket. Great fish and chips from Scoffers in Colvend too. Loch Arthur Farm Shop and Cafe also worth a visit, although not particularly dog-friendly (we did get to sit outside in the wind and rain, though...).If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing holiday in a beautiful part of the country, I highly recommend Portling View as a great place to stay.
