Kathleen made us feel so welcome even before we arrived and the house was so lovely.
Kathleen made us feel so welcome even before we arrived and the house was so lovely. Well-stocked, clean, and homely, it was the perfect place for us to spend our Christmas break with family. The hamper was a lovely touch (the shortbread was exceptional!). Access to Stranraer and shops was very easy and there was lots we could do, even if we didn’t have the weather to do it in.
