Eleanor and Billy were the consummate hosts. We coordinated our arrival so that they could pick us up at Glasgow airport and deliver us to their home. We spent two days with Eleanor and Billy and it was such a pleasure to get to know them and become friends. If you love a calm, quiet and pastoral environment in a house on a "wee" road this is the place for you. You are surrounded by rolling green hills dotted with sheep and cattle. The photos depict the house perfectly. Their home is spacious and modern, fully equipped with everything you need, with many windows to gaze through and enjoy the stunning views. It was a treat to look out the windows and see a deer grazing near their pond. The garden is lovely with much foliage and flowers with a daily visit from a beautiful pheasant. Fresh carrots from the vegetable patch were a treat, as well. The nearest large city is Dumfries, about a 20 drive, where there are major grocery stores, petrol, shopping, museums, etc. Castle Douglas is the other good sized town with all the same amenities. We highly recommend stopping in the farm store in Beeswing for a delicious lunch and shopping for beautiful produce, meats, cheese, and baked goods. Immerse yourself in the history, see the beautiful coastline, and enjoy the warmth and humor of the Scots.
