    Plenty of places to walk both from the cottage and further afield with a variety of castles and others attractions within an hour's drive. Thank you Sarah for making us so welcome. Hope to be back again before long.

    "My wife and I spent a very enjoyable time at The Stables."

    Its location was wonderful being situated in the grounds of a country house. The walks were very restful, an ideal location in which to spend our wedding anniversary. The Stables was very comfortable, tastefully decorated, clean with a sense of peace permeating through the property. The four hares running around the field to the rear of the house was an added bonus. I have no hesitation in recommending The Stables.

    Sadly we couldn't find the bin for empty bottles on leaving and it was really helpful to have the little night lights with the bathroom downstairs.

    It is a very safe area. The garden is lovely to sit in for breakfast, and faces towards the loch. The shed was perfect for storing our 2 bikes. Great location and ideal for visiting the 7 Stanes, as we did. Would recommend and would visit again.

    "The Stables is a well appointed accommodation guaranteeing a few days stay of comfort and relaxation."

    The residents in the area are so friendly and welcoming and the ability to walk around the 5000 acre estate, which includes loughs, woodland, hillside, river banks, grazing land, wildlife and interesting history only adds to the relaxing time enjoyed here. From the point of view of a visitor to the wider area, there are plenty of local attractions with which to acquaint yourself.

    "We can only describe this accommodation as an absolute gem."

    Set within the grounds of a beautiful well managed country estate, the Stables flat is spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable and a very pleasant property. Sarah (the owner) welcomed us on our arrival and provided us with the information regarding the facilities both in the accommodation, the estate, and the local area. The flat equipped with everything we needed to have a really relaxed and cosy time, with glorious walks in the grounds to add "icing on the cake". We enjoyed ourselves so much that on arrival back home we booked to go back to The Stables for our anniversary in November.

Today it is home to a wide range of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants, as well as a number of traditional festivals throughout the year. To the south of Dumfries is beautiful coastline leading to Gatehouse of Fleet and Newton Stewart, whilst the Galloway Forest Park is just an hour’s drive to the west.
