“Comfortable cottage”
We rented this cottage for a week in May 2015 and found it to be beautifully renovated, comfortable and very clean. There was a welcome pack of tea, coffee, sugar, milk, eggs and biscuits which was a very pleasant surprise. There were only the two of us so we slept in the downstairs bedroom, although there were two more bedrooms upstairs. Probably the only criticism I would have is that there was only one bedside light and no hanging space for clothes in this room. I can understand the reason for this, however, as the big king size bed can be separated into two single beds which would leave no room for more than one bedside table and certainly no room for a wardrobe. There was a good sized chest of drawers which had to suffice unless you wanted to walk upstairs every time you needed something from a wardrobe.
The location within the village was good but we were a little underwhelmed by the facilities in the area. There wasn't as much to see and do as we had hoped to find in this area. Nevertheless, the cottage itself was wonderful with possibly the only improvement being the addition of an electric clothes dryer for those travellers from overseas, like us, who have limited baggage and have wet weather to contend with.

CREETOWN

Creetown, originally called Ferrytown of Cree, is a small town in the Dumfries and Galloway region of south west Scotland. The town was once a fishing village and is now perhaps best known for being the centre of filming for The Wicker Man and also for its Country Music Festival. Creetown is home to the Gem Rock Museum, a shop, Post Office, a hotel and restaurant, and is just seven miles away from Newton Stewart, which offers visitors to the area several shops, takeaways and bars. Situated just south of Creetown is the Galloway Forest Park with over three hundred square miles of beautiful scenery, world class mountain bike trails and the first Dark Sky Park in the UK. Gatehouse of Fleet is just a little further, and five minutes from there are sandy beaches making this a lovely area to visit when on holiday.
