Cosy, well-furnished cottage in really peaceful surroundings. Only ten minutes drive from nearest shops in Dalbeattie, which is a meeting point for several major roads so it's possible to go north, south, east or west throughout Dumfries & Gallloway according to where the weather will be best. Close to Galloway Forest for those who are able to walk, but lots of other gardens and outdoor attractions for those less energetic, plus beaches for simple seaside enjoyment. Local people so friendly and helpful. Myrtle Cottage so well equipped, with satellite TV, DVD player and discs, and a full bookcase that, even if weather had kept us in, we could've relaxed in comfort and 'chilled' without boredom. Wish we had discovered this location before, as we would've made repeat visits.
