Newly decorated, tastefully furnished and generally maintained to an exceptionally high standard. This farm cottage is situated at the end of a private road. It is quiet but not isolated.  Our family and holiday visitors find it the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beauty and tranquillity of the Galloway Hills while being just a 15 minute drive from the artists' town of Kirkcudbright and the Solway Coast. All accommodation is over one level and comprises of two attractively decorated bedrooms, an elegant sitting and dining area plus a fully equipped kitchen with electric cooker, microwave and all the tools you require to create a culinary masterpiece.
