  • Max

    And lovely big comfortable bed. An ideal location for touring this area. Wigtown has a small coop and many bookshops. We would recommend Hillcrest

  • Ian

    Everything we needed was to hand.

  • Jane

    The apartment has everything we needed, a well equipped kitchen with table and chairs close by making the prep and eating of meals very easy and handy. There was comfortable seating in the lounge with a huge tv on the wall, all very pleasant. The bedroom, again very spacious was great, a huge bed, crisp white linen, loads of storage and another huge tv on the wall. The bathroom was excellent, the slight step in the floor could cause problems during the night if you forgot it was there and stubbed your toe but I placed the toilet roll holder nearby to remind us it was there, so no stubbed toes for us!
