    Liked the room. Picking up keys by code lock was good idea. Able to have meal in bar and breakfast. Staff was very good looking after us at evening meal.

    It's a convenient location, about 10 mins drive from Kirkcudbright and just off the main road en route to Stranraer. Room was comfortable and clean, the shower was hot with a good pressure. Soap is provided. There's a TV, hairdryer and kettle...
