We ,as a family of 5 years to 80years were delighted with Lonsdale,.It was just perfect for us...spacious and well. laid out...the views from every window were fantastic....The garden was a joy,I don't know who was responsible for the upkeep,but they have done a great job......We got a surprise on our first morning to see a Pheasant at the french windows,waiting for his breakfast,he was a regular visitor.We know the area well,having lived in Castle Douglas some years ago, and as some of the family are now living in Germany, miles from the sea, the location was just perfect.I do hope we get the chance to visit Lonsdale again..it was so good for the soul.

The accommodation was perfect for us. We had wonderful weather in the most beautiful setting. The house was like a home from home with everything we needed for a great holiday.

A beautiful house in a wonderful location. Stayed with our 5 children. Really well-equipped house. A minute to the beach. The weather was mixed but having such a lovely house meant that we didn't mind staying in.
