How relaxing a stay we had great views shame the weather wasn't there but beautiful surroundings would definitely come again soon

Muriel United Kingdom

I called before arriving and the owner left the caravan open and the key on the table inside. The caravan was better than I expected, and spotlessly clean. I bagged the double bed which was very comfy (though I can't comment on the twin room my friend stayed in). As well as being very clean, the caravan was more spacious than I'd expected, and it was really well stocked with everything you'd need for a stay (i.e. in the kitchen, bedding was provided, and we just brought our own towels), shower was excellent too for its size!

Ben United Kingdom

Stayed at the 3 bed cottage which all bedrooms are en suite also has family bathroom. Large living area large kitchen and a lovely sunroom to eat in with views of the countryside

Antony United Kingdom

Caravan was beautiful and just on the outskirt of newton stewart, loads of leaflet in van to give you idea's on where to go and where to get food

Juli United Kingdom

Lovely caravan in a nice location. The staff were lovely and Ian was very helpful recommending we go to Glencoe.

Thalia United Kingdom

lovely rural location. very close to shops etc as well.

Shannon United Kingdom

We booked for the location so we could get the dogs away from any firework noise. The location was perfect for this reason. The area was so quiet (only 3 caravans and. Cottage) so great for a peaceful getaway. With only the cows 4 feet away for company. Newton Stewart is only a mile and a half away though. The hosts were great and left us to it but were there when we needed them (to send on a left behind wallet).

Nichola United Kingdom

The location is great,only a 3 minute drive to Newton Stewart. It's very quiet,only 3 caravans surrounded by fields full of cows.There was a welcome tray with tea,coffee,biscuits etc which we appreciated. The caravan itself had a handy balcony and nice bedding.

Joanne United Kingdom

Very quiet location and close to amenities. Area is fantastic for outdoor activities especially walking.

Gregor United Kingdom

Great location, great facilities. Comfy beds. Walled garden for the dogs. Big kitchen, lots of pots and pans and cooking trays. Bonus, blender and hand mixer. Washer dryer for getting baby clothes washed and dried. Conservatory/dining room with nice views. En suites are just the job, loved the roll top bath. We were here earlier this year and went back with my parents. Managed to make cakes with the utensils available. A nice relaxing stay, feels like you’re in middle of nowhere, but it’s only couple of miles to town centre with plenty of supermarkets and a fantastic butchers
