    Superb. Beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean. Countryside views certainly gave the wow factor! I had a wonderful sleep. Lovely bed and enjoyed watching the farm animals and wildlife with a brew in the morning. Would definitely stay again.

Host review score
The guest suite is part of a modern detached house with wonderful views of the countryside. Guests have access to a suite of rooms including a large bedroom, shower room, kitchenette (sink, kettle, microwave and toaster) and large sitting room. The bedroom can be made into a family room by requesting a cot or one single bed. Guests may use the patio and large garden. The host lives in the main house which has a connecting locked door to the property.
The property is situated 1.5 miles from the main A75 road and is 6 miles from the town of Dumfries and 10 miles from Castle Douglas. The property is only 5 minutes from the local hospital (which is to the west of Dumfries). We advise the guests have use of their own vehicle as buses pass only 4 times a day.
