Great food and peaceful location

The excellent bar stood out, and the food was superb. It would be worth travelling the two hours i did just for the food. The location was idyllic, and the entire place was really good (it was a GREAT surprise!).

Adequate Stay at Riverside Cottages

river nithsoothing soundsheepcute lambsitalian chefpoor communicationhard bed

I was happy with the location. The river Nith had a soothing sound. It was nice to watch the sheep and lambs across the river, that was very cute. The owner is an Italian chef, that was a great surprise!

I needed to chase them for confirmation. I had to ask about check in time too. The bed was brick hard, so sleeping was not comfortable at all.
