Excellent place to spend time out in the open away from the city. The place had a lovely stream running at the back which was relaxing. The place was clean and had lots of garden space which was great for the kids.

Our Christmas at the cottage was lovely.
Our Christmas at the cottage was lovely. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The cottage was so well maintained and clean. Had enough space for our party of 5. There was no wifi but did have weak mobile internet so we got by with that. We actually enjoyed being technology free for a couple of days. Lovely walks with the stream just behind the house was idyllic. The housekeeper was very helpful and was prompt with queries despite it being Christmas holidays. Nearest shops were in Castle Douglas which was about 10-15 mins drive away. Would definitely come again!

Great place to get away from it all. No phone signal or internet which was a bonus for me but may not be for some.

This was our second visit to this lovely cottage and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a 'getaway from it all' holiday. The house is comfortable, warm and cosy. No wi-fi was a small issue but cant really be helped due to the location. Basic facilities could definitely be improved for a very small cost.

Fab holiday home, 4 adults and 2 children on this visit, all couldn't believe how spacious and comfortable it was. Lovely location secluded and relaxing with much wildlife about and so many places to visit as a family within an hours drive. Lots of nooks and crannies for the kids to hide in, even carried on building a den in the garden someone had started. lovely being able to walk about in the grounds. Although we had to be aware of dog poo that previous occupants did not dispose of in certain areas the garden! Other than that it was fabulous!
