Credit Crunch!
Now is the time to enjoy an inexpensive holiday in Britain while the exchange rate with the Euro and Dollar is so advantageous for those coming from Europe and USA and for those living in UK to save by not going abroad and explore Glorious Galloway (Scotland's real secret) with its lovely coast and beaches, mountains, wildlife, gardens, historic towns, castles and Abbeys. We have kept our prices the same as 2009. Self-Catering offers the best value holidays with freedom to come and go as you please and try out all the wonderful local Galloway food: local meat from our hills, wonderful fish and shellfish from our local fishing fleet in Kirkcudbright, special cheeses, breads, pates, chocolates etc - all made locally.

Good news for tennis players. The court at Rusko had new netting fitted in 2009 and in April 2010 we are having the court completley resurfaced and we very much hope you will come and enjoy it.
