Robert
Well situated between Annan and Dumfries and great base to explore the area. The property has everything you need for a short break and is comfortable throughout. Thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. Owner contacted us before arrival to ensure everything was as needed and to offer help/support if needed - lovely touch.

We loved the history of Flora's Cottage and were delighted with the property - it is so well appointed and the garden is a plant persons dream and so well maintained. You have a first class property which you so kindly share with others - thank you for allowing us to experience a stay at such a lovely cottage. Daisy, our Border Terrier, loved her walks to the beach and being able to play in the secure garden.
