This is a really fantastic place, we only stayed for one night but would stay again and for longer. Everyone we meet during our stay were very friendly and welcoming.

We stayed for one night here on our way down from Scotland back to Yorkshire - its not far from the M74 just passed Gretna. The place is beautiful, we stayed in the... More

Having read all previous reviews I found it hard to believe it could be that good. It was. This is a very clean establishment with excellent facilities in a part of the world that is often overlooked by tourists heading further north.

B & B's just don't get any more charming than this. Someone paid a great deal of attention to this lovely place.
