My wife and I would like to add our own recommendation for Arduaine and Barbara and David's wonderful friendly and attentive hosting.
As has been previously mentioned, the accommodation is absolutely 5 star in every way, but that is only part of the captivating experience of Arduaine.
Barbara and David are possibly the most knowledgeable and charming hosts we have ever met. They are amabassadors for everything that Dumfries & Galloway has to offer and their passion and ethusiasm is quite inspiring.
...and then there is breakfast, here is a tip - set aside at least an hour and a half at the start of the day in order to sample the fresh fruit juices, the 'David-style' porridge with raisins and maple syrup, the local Rowan Valley yoghurt, the full cooked breakfast (all local produce of course!) and finally the delicious toasted home-baked bread and local Urr Valley honey - what a magnificent start to any day!
Wigtown itself is a lovely town with its many second hand bookshops and picturesque local walks and the people of the town are exceptionally friendly - we lost count of the number of times we seemed to just fall into conversation with complete strangers, but it was a very heart warming experience.
Our happy stay at Arduaine will always be in our memories and we would like to thank David & Barbara for all of their kindness and for helping to make our holiday such a pleasant experience.
