The house has a central location in the town and it is clean and well maintained. It is usually possible to park outside the property and it has the added bonus of a garden shed for bikes. There a number of nearby beaches and a lovely river walk but it is also easy just to sit in the attractive garden on sunny days. It was also nice to receive the welcome pack which included a number of goodies including homemade jam!
The big plus of 14 Union is its location, the harbour and marina just a few minutes away, and treasures such as incredible Broughton House and garden, Tollbooth, and Kirkcudbright galleries not much further.
