Colebrook cottage was in a beautiful location, perfect garden for dogs. Amazing walks from the front door. Lovely pub and cafe a very short walk away, both with outside seating and views of the sea.
Absolutely perfect! We needed a property with a room and all amenities on ground floor for elder parent as well as two rooms for two friends travelling together. The cottage was perfect! It is very well equipped and comfortable. It's location is fabulous, you can't get any nearer the sea! A wonderful place to relax but also a great location for local walks or rides out. Highly recommended!
The location is perfect for exploring Galloway with great walks straight from the house. The bright new extension was excellent for our elderly parents or anyone with mobility problems and the garden was beautiful. Only criticism is lack of a decent size fridge freezer.
