“BUT and BEN - A superb place to BE!”

Reviewed 7 Jun 2021

But and Ben’s modest name belies a property which is top of the range , 5 star accommodation . Alison and John have gone out of their way to transform this cottage into a luxury stay in beautiful surroundings. We were surprised and delighted by everything this lovely, welcoming couple had done to make our stay so perfect. All decor, linen, furniture, kitchen equipment etc etc is top quality, beautifully presented and spotlessly clean! Everything you could possibly need is provided down to the smallest detail. The garden too is attractive - as Alison and John’s hard work has meant we had an extra room outside - They have created a patio area in a sunny spot, with good seating for fair weather, yet there is also a secluded garden area with colourful plants to enjoy. This generous , helpful couple left gifts and treats including fresh eggs from their famous hens :) Delicious! We could not have asked for a better place to stay in this beautiful part of New Galloway. We could go on and on , but suffice to say- we had a super holiday - thanks to Alison and John’s BUT and BEN!
