The cottage was in the perfect countryside location! Not far from the local town of Castle Douglas and a good base to explore Dumfries and Galloway and all that the area has to offer. Countryside walks, beaches, galleries, castles and quirky local independent shopping - what's. Not to love! The cottage was clean and tidy, generous in size and exactly what we were looking for. The owner was on hand to offer help and advice when needed, leaving us alone to enjoy our holiday! The balance was perfect. We would highly recommend Ernambrie for all your holiday needs.

We had a really pleasant holiday at Ernambrie Cottage. In a lovely part of the country with beautiful views and a lot of birdlife often not seen these days. Curlew, peewit, snipe, sky lark, heron, oyster catchers etc. The cottage was very clean, warm and comfortable, with all the equipment necessary. It has a lovely garden, The owner was kind enough to let us (two friends) take our four dogs with us which really made our holiday. Plenty to see and lots of interesting places to visit. Could not have been better. Would definitely go to the same place again. Many thanks. CH & MB.
