Aug 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pefect Place to relax We stayed 6 Nights and found a cottage with very modern furniture, all you Need in the kitchen, own BBQ Grill Outside including Picnic Area. Allthough Its in the countryside, with a lot of nature around (trees, River, sheep, Cattle, birds and Flowers- you have a stabile wifi Connection. So What ever you seek- you are able to totally relax and disconnect or connect via the net. The Host family is Nice and live also on the ground in case you Need anything. Galloway Forest Park is nearby with walks for everybody. It was a Perfect stay. ##### Christian E. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022
