“Peaceful, cosy and beautiful”

Reviewed 25 Oct 2018

We thoroughly enjoyed our short weekend break at The Cheese House. There’s a warm welcome of homemade tea bread and tea/coffee making facilities when you arrive and the cottage was warm and cosy. The organic farm is fascinating with a view of the Galloway Belted Cattle from the kitchen window and a very friendly tan with impressive horns a short walk away. Great location to travel To and from. We visited WWT Caerlaverock 20 x mins away to see 10.000 barnacle geese! Zan is a very friendly host whom our dogs warmed to immediately!
