Lovely little hideaway. self enclosed garden so we could let our dog roam. sun trap of a garden good for sun downers. inside was very tidy and comfortable. good for a stop over. local facilities are a reasonable walk or short drive away (although that is obvious from the booking details).

Great location. Lovely welcome basket. Lighter and airy feel to the property. Good place to store our bikes safely. Host was very available when needed. We have nothing to write about. Everything was better than expected.

The property was very comfortably set out, impeccably clean, and very well appointed, in terms of facilities, cookware etc. Helpfully, the owners have left little info signs around the property, explaining things like hot water timings, and how to over-ride them for additional hot water. Everything in the property, such as all the furniture, bed, cushions etc were of a very high standard, and very comfortable. Nice welcoming touches, such as a basket containing hot chocolate, biscuits etc. It is very easy to find, and access, and we will definitely be staying here on our next visit to Longtown. Thoroughly recommended. Thanks very much. Nothing

Close to motorway. Perfect for a stop over en route. Kelly was super friendly. Annexe was cosy and had everything you need. We Would use again as a stopover. Nothing

Great location to break up our return leg from a holiday in the Scottish Highlands back to Essex. Very easy to find, we were provided with photos to help locate the front door. Longtown has shops for basics if needed. We had a dinner from the takeaway next door which was very tasty. The apartment was clean and well decorated with everything needed for a short stay. It was great value for money. Was all good

This is a quite wonderful property. Beautifuly presented in all aspects, spacious with separate bedroom, bathroom, sitting room and kitchen. Kelly and Liam have thought of everything you could need for a stay of any length. It was a fabulous surprise and great value for money too.

Loved our short stay in Brampton, the hosts were so lovely and accommodating after I mucked up our dates which we really appreciated! We arrived to a gorgeous basket of goodies and everything was very clean and comfortable. Nothing, everything was great!

Fabulous cosy flat, with everything you could need. Spotlessly clean in perfect location to visit Gretna and surrounding areas. Fantastic communication from hosts and lovely little basket of treats was a lovely touch from them Nothing

Having secure garden for our small dog. Very comfortable bed and cosy room as it was a cold snap when we were there Only one minor thing was no hot water in bathroom, and we did not see it in the intanary, but was fine after kelly explained the reasons for this.

A lovely stay in Kirkcudbright - convenient location, cosy, quiet and clean. Kelly and Liam made it really easy to check in. Could not have asked for more! Nothing - this was an excellent stay.
